Window Bling




I measured my windows and added 1/2 " seam allowance.   Marked out my fabric with my chalk marker and  laid this out on the fold.   

This is the style I wanted.

Four windows = eight pieces.

Wanted to put some coordinating trim on the edges of the valance.  I also inserted a tassel at the center point.

I cut strips of a coordinating fabric and sewed them together to insert my welting.

Trim is ready to use.

I put my fabric right sides together with trim and tassel inside.

Sewed all the layers together!

Turned right side out....and voila!

All three done for the bigger windows.  One left to make for the smaller window.



I covered the trim piece with some fabric.

I used some double sided tape to hold in place.  I must confess I only used this for one as the fit was tight enough to hold them in place while I tacked them up.


First window.

Second window


Third window.

This is how I installed them.

A look from underneath.

I used two finishing nails to install the valances.

All three big windows done!

Small window complete.



That's my Window Bling.
Cheers!
