Headboard Wobble Meet Picture Frame Velcro

The headboard framing my bed is floating in limbo between the wall and my bed.  Like most people, I like to sit propped against my pillows while reading/working on my computer.  Every time I plopped on my bed or even gently rested against the pillows, the headboard would travel the 1" gap from free standstill and smack against the back wall.  Nothing critical, but nothing pleasant.  Several days of cringing after this happened warranted taking things into my own hands.

 

The Pile

  Enter:  The massive pile of picture frame velcro strips, courtesy of my mom upon moving into the new apartment.  I have enough of this stuff   to hang the whole Louvre up!  Well, maybe a whole corridor, or part of one.  The Louvre has 'rooms' larger than a football field, like this:

The picture frame velcro strips prevent things from moving... which is exactly what I wanted to do with the headboard.  So, all I did was put two strips in a discrete location to hold the headboard to the back wall, and vola!  No more cringing as I sink into my fluffy pillows.  Problem solved - till the velcro fails... and I dip into picture framing velcro bag once again.
