I bought a bed and didn't like the headboards that went with it and so made my own. I've made headboards before and have also painted them onto walls. The one you can see cost about £30 in total and the ones in the shop were four times the price. It consists of a piece of firm MDF, wadding, and fabric. I bought curtain fabric and doubled it but you could use upholstery fabrics or something that's firm.
Once you measure our wall for the size of bed head you need it's a case of laying wadding and fabric over and stapling them to the back. You have to make sure the fabric is even and tight so that it doesn't wrinkle after use. I fixed this to the wall with four metal plates that are screwed to the back of the board and then into the wall. They are visible. Other fittings exist.
This system scaled down is great for notice boards. Simply add thin ribbon in a criss cross pattern to form a grid effect into which letters and photos can be tucked and a hook on the back.
Very cheap and cheerful but fabulous results can be gained and the items are useful.
