Painted Canvas Headboard - Union Jack Flag





We recently saw a project on Pinterest that used a fabric covered canvas as a headboard.  I’ve been trying my hardest to not just pin what I love on my Pinterest boards, but to actually make some of the projects.  The perfect opportunity came up with Ani’s 17th Birthday this passed weekend.  She is “the number ONE fan” of One Direction, a cute boy band out of the UK.  Ani will be decking out her dorm at UCLA with all things One Direction & the Union Jack flag. 

We used an extra heavy Canvas since this is going to be used as a headboard & taped it off using painters tape.  Note, the wide lines of the criss-cross tape are opposites...I almost messed this part up.



Of course our English Bulldog Winston oversaw the whole project! 



Here it is almost done.  I did some additional distressing and painted the white lines of the Union Jack with a pearlized white. 



Happy Junking!

  1. This is a great idea... I had not thought about doing something like this before... you could also do this with TV, Sports and movie themes....for the wall or headboard of a twin bed...

    Thank you for the post and Happy Birtday to Ani!
