Make a chic cane headboard in a matter of hours

I recently did a series of mini IKEA hacks. The first one is a cane headboard and it only takes a few hours to make.

Below is a list of materials and a few brief steps. It is very easy and looks gorgeous in the bedroom.

Materials:

• IKEA IVAR
• Cane webbing

Tools:

• Scissor
• Stapler

DIY cane headboard

Step 1

When working with cane webbing it needs to be wet, so you can fold it.

Soak the entire webbing in water for at least 30 minutes.

If you don’t have a bathtub that is big enough, you can do one end at a time. After soaking, pat dry the cane with a towel so it is not too wet.

Step 2

Cut the cane webbing to fit the IVAR frame. Do ensure you have enough material to fold around the edges of the frame.

Step 3

Use a staple gun to fasten the webbing onto the back of the frame. Pay special attention to the corners to get a neat tuck.

Step 4

Hang up on your wall with screws.

And admire your DIY cane headboard.

#2 Rattan doors for the EXPEDIT (or KALLAX)

This is an old hack of mine. I had an EXPEDIT TV shelving unit and wanted some BRANÄS drawers for it. However, for some of the cubbies a door was better suited, so I had to do a small hack. I hacked the rattan doors for the EXPEDIT but it will work for the KALLAX too. See more the EXPEDIT rattan doors.
