Back-lit Batman Headboard
Attention all Super Hero Fanatics! This one is for you!
My husband built this headboard at the request of our youngest son…ahem – college-age youngest son! #theynevergrowup But I have to admit, it is pretty awesome. Especially when you turn the lights out…
My husband sketched out the headboard to fit a queen size bed. With careful measurements he transferred his sketch to the plywood. Using a jigsaw, he cut out the shape. He said “the curves are tricky but sanding is your best friend.”
He painted the entire surface with Olympic “Black Magic” semi-gloss paint.
For the legs, he cut the 2 x 4 to a height so that the “eyes” would sit above the mattress. He then secured them to the back of the headboard using 2 1/2″ screws.
To back-light the headboard, a 24′ rope light was perfect for a queen outline. {The kit we purchased includes the mounting hardware}
