DIY Tufted Headboards

In college, I re-upholstered an old couch with bedsheets and a staple gun, and my roommates were SO impressed. Can you imagine what they would think if I could pull this one off? This site has very detailed step-by-step directions to refurbishing a vintage headboard.  I thought this was a great DIY to post about, especially for my sister, who cannot paint her apartment walls, has no headboard, and loves jewel tones. This would be perfect for her place!
