Corners for a Foot Board

Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com
Having a foot board at the end of the bed will require an opening in the end for the foot board.

Achieve this by making side panels for the length of the bed and separate section at the end of the bed.

Allowing an inch or two extra in the corner ends so that you can overlap the sides and end to keep the mattress covered. It usually works best to have the end panel behind the dies panels when you are done.
