2. Cut the foam to the same size as the plywood.
3. Place the foam on the plywood, making sure that it is centered.
4. Cut the fabric to a size that is about 6 inches larger than the front and sides of the headboard.
5. Place the fabric face down on a flat surface.
6. Center the headboard face down on the fabric.
7. Fold the edges of the fabric over the sides of the headboard and staple them in place.
8. Fold the top and bottom edges of the fabric over the headboard and staple them in place.
