Cupcake Headboard


As a gift for my niece's 7th birthday a few years ago, I decorated her bedroom. At the time, I also promised Addie I would make her a cupcake headboard. (Here's the original post from 2011.)

Well, it only took 2 1/2 years.... but I finally finished it! 

The bottom of the cupcake is made of foam swim kickboards covered in purple, polar fleece fabric. The chocolate cupcake top is stuffed with quilt batting and covered in brown, curly chenille fabric. And the cherry on top is a pink fluffy pillow that I found at Walmart. The whole thing is built on a frame of wood and polycore board.

I'm sorry it took me so long, Addie. Thank you for being so patient. I wish you the sweetest of dreams under your new cupcake headboard.
