For variety of sports add a stick of each sport to create your own sport themed head board.
Colorful String Headboard
This is a great, fun and cheap method to add color to any room. All you need is yarn or slightly thick string in various colors and a wooden frame to fit your bed which should be around 1 or 2 inches thick. Simple wooden lengths of 2” thick strips can be purchased and super glued together t the ends to make a frame to fit your bed.
Next take your yarn or string and create an abstract web type pattern; attach one end of a string to a length while attach the other to another length. Drills can be made in the wood and strings can be passed through and tied for durability else they can also be glued if you want to avoid drilling. Choose different length strings and in different colors and don’t worry about order or a specific pattern, you will be surprised by the beauty of the end result. A dark color wall makes your strings prominent while hanging large canvas prints nearby in similar colors will add more attention your headboard.

Just purchase a bunch of normal sized cushions, stitch the corners together to create a rectangle or square, anything you prefer and attach the final cushion art on top of your bed! You have no idea how creative this will look.
