DIY 'Headboard'

Since my friend who's redoing her room doesn't have a headboard and some furniture can cost SO much, so when we saw this I instantly thought, hang it against a dark, rich, purple wall, about at the halfway point of the bed and perfecto! Super cute headboard, and possibly a night light. We have no idea how hard it is to make, but we are going to try, and I'll post all the steps to making it!
