Hi there,
I'm about to embark on a bit of a COVID sanity project for our bedroom.
We've got a nice upholstered king bed base, but I'm having trouble finding a bedhead to suit because of the positioning of the windows and the power points in the room, so I'm going to attempt to make a bedhead that will hang on the wall (above the pesky power points and between the windows).
I'm planning to purchase 5x sheets of plywood (maybe something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/1200-x-596-x-7mm-bc-radiata-plywood_p0390154) and then cover with foam, batting and then fabric (using a stable gun).
I'm left with the question of whether I should....
1. join the 5x fabric covered panels with some kind of joining bracket (I would appreciate suggestions on what kind of bracket would do the job) and hang on the wall with some kind of heavy duty hook and anchor device (maybe something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-20kg-heavy-duty-solid-wall-picture-hanging-hooks-12-pack_p00987..., or
2. whether I should go with a lighter weight option and hang each of the 5 fabric coated panels separately with picture hooks (maybe like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-10kg-brass-plated-picture-hanging-angle-drive-hooks-3-pack_p393...) but I recognise that
it will likely be harder to get the height matched perfectly across all 5 panels.
As you can probably gather I have no idea of the products I should be selecting and would welcome advice from those who have more DIY know how than I 
Thanks very much in advance,
Anna
You should be happy with the end product as you've done a spectacular job @annatr. It looks stunning!
Many thanks for sharing your update with us all.
What's next on the project list?
