I used scrap wood and cut them down to 1x3 size an sketched the design on the wood. I cut it out with a jigsaw.
Head board legs are about 16-18 inches and the foot board is about 9-12 inches. After the cuts remember to sand.
Connecting the Legs

Use the pocket hole jig to drill two holes on each end of the beam. Then connect the the legs. I left a 2in space at the bottom. The beam is about 16-20 inches.
Making the Frame

Connect the two side panels that you just created with a 6-8 inch beam (make sure you have 4 pieces at the same length). Once the frame is made take the other two and connect them about 2-4 inches at the foot board end and 3-6 inches at the head board end.
Put in Cross Beams

I used a piece of 1x2s laying around and cut them to the same length as the foot board head board beams. Connect them to the long beams
Stain

Stain to your liking :) I made this as a photo prop for when my baby girl gets here. I plan on putting a small sheet of ply on the bottom and putting a small pillow or something and snapping a few photos. I'll upload those when my baby is born and I am able to use it.
