Can I cover a headboard without a staple gun?
I'm wanting to "redo" our very ugly, wooden headboard. I've already found the fabric I'm wanting to use. I was wondering, instead of using a staple gun to stick the fabric to the wood, could I just make a kind of slipcover type thing to go over the padding? I would probably just hotglue or super glue to padding to the wood. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
The headboard is a simple rectangle shape. No fancy curves or shapes or anything.
Superglue is not a good choice -- it doesn't have enough volume to hold the thick padding.
Hot glue might work to attach the padding, but you might find the layers slipping and sliding as you try to adhere the loose edges of the fabric cover.
Really, the staple gun is the cheapest and sturdiest way to go. You can pull the fabric tighter, secure it through the layer of padding, etc. The glue probably wouldn't hold, for example, if you had to tug or shove to move the headboard to vacuum or run a power cord.
You could sew a slipcover (like a giant pillow case) to slip over. Lay the fabric on the floor, and arrange the padding. Use a needle and thread or a sewing machine to anchor the padding in several places (one end, at a natural crease over the top of the headboard, etc.). Sew the sides together, so that it looks like a giant pillow case, and slide it over the headboard. This would also be easy to change, update, or clean if something got on it.
