How To Make a Headboard

What You'll Need

1. Measure Your BedDecide how tall and wide to make your headboard. Headboards are either equal to, or slightly wider than the width of the mattress. 8 inches of the headboard should be visible, when the pillows are leaning against it.2. Create A StencilUsing paper create a stencil of the shape you want for your headboard.

Rounded corners are great for a softer look.3. Cut the Headboard ShapeLay the paper stencil you just created onto the wood. Trace around your stencil on the wood. Using a power saw, cut the headboard shape.4. Sand the HeadboardUsing a medium-grit sandpaper, lightly sand around the edges of the headboard.5.

Prepare the FoamCut a sheet of upholsttery foam to the size of teh wood frame plus 1 inch. Lay the foam over the frame and staple in three or four places, then secure with spray adhesive.6. Upholstery BattingCover the layer of foam with a sheet of upholstery batting, cut 2 to 4 inches larger than the size of wood. Using your staple gun, tack the batting to the back of the frame, making sure that the top and side edges are smooth and even.7. Attach the SheetingCut a piece of plain white sheeting 4 to 6 inches larger than the headboard shape.

Staple the sheeting to the back of the wood, making sure all corners are even.8. Decorative FabricIron your outer layer of decorative fabric and smooth it face-down on the work area. Place the covered headboard face down on top of it. Cut the fabric the same size and shape, adding about 4 inches extra to wrap around the back of the headboard.9. Staple the TopStarting at the center top, begin stapling the fabric to the back, making sure that any pattern on the fabric is properly centered and straight.

Pull it just enough to get a smooth front side, but not so much that it puckers.10. Staple the Bottom Once you have about 12 inches of the top stapled, switch to the bottom edge. Smooth the fabric around the wood and staple several places on the bottom edge. Continue working in sections along the top and bottom. 11.

Staple the SidesIf everything looks good, set it down and begin to secure the fabric to the sides, folding over the outer sides and staple the fabric to the back. Make sure the corners (if you have any) look neat and tidy from the front.12. Linen BackingIf desired, staple a plain lining fabric onto the back of the headboard, covering all the raw edges of fabric, batting and foam.13. Attach the LegsNow is the time to attach legs to the headboard if necessary. Set the headboard in place.

You may wish to stand the headboard against the wall behind the bed, using the mattress to stabilize it. You can also drill holes in the legs and attach them to the frame of the bed. Or you can attach the headboard directly to the wall behind..

The Great Importance of Doing Business with Ethics

For most people, money makes the world go round and business bears that money.
Businessmen will perhaps do anything just to achieve the ultimate goal of having a business, and that is to earn income. Net profit or income financially means a surplus of sales or revenues after deducting costs and expenses. Whether you are engage in profession, occupation, work or trade, you are in business and you speak income. When you earn an income you suffer taxes, the worst nightmare for every income earners.

Income tax is your punishment of doing well in business. This sounds ridiculous but this is the reality, you pay when you earn. Because tax is legislative, noncompliance to this would results to crimes. This thing called income tax had already made billions of liars around the world. Some governments imposed taxes which are already too much to burden the flow of business.

Your Finances

Your FinancesBy Terry RiggWhich category do you fall in?I have determined that financially, people fall into one of three categories.1. Family 1 has all the money they need for necessities and more and manage it very well.2. Family 2 has all the money they need for necessities and more but live payday to payday with ever increasing debt.3. Family 3 don't have enough money for necessities.The funny thing about the three families above is that they could have exactly the same income and family size. This is not to say that special circumstances has nothing to do with it, but on the average most people live above their means.Family 1 has established a workable budget.

They don't pay more than they can afford for housing, transportation, utilities, etc. They also have money set aside for long and short term savings. This short term savings provides two things. First, it makes money available when the car breaks down, you need a new washer or any number of unexpected expenses that...

View from the barber's chair

IF you want to get your hair cut in Villefranche du Perigord, a village in the heart of France, you have two choices. On one side of the street is a hairdressers, all chrome and shiny mirrors, a little further down is a barbers of the cutthroat razor kind. But it's no Sweeny Todd style shop more a great place to enjoy a heavy dose of French life. I'd already prepared myself for the visit, learning the French word for short, for a little shorter please and leave the sideburns as they are. Well maybe not the last one.

I was also hoping that there would be a couple of pictures on the wall, like all good barbers, that I could at least point to. But I then had a panic attack as I thought they all might be pictures from the 70's and I'd have to point to something that the Hair Bear Bunch would be proud of. As I walked into the shop there was an old chap sat in the chair with the barber tending to his hair and chatting away. They both turned towards me and said ?bonjour'. I returned...
