Using a clear spray adhesive apply cornice padding. (I use Rowley's) The clear adhesive I get from Albany Upholstery Supply in New York.
|
 |
Trim excess padding.
|
   |
A method to help decide how to place the pattern. Which one would you pick? I sorta liked the first one also, but preferred and knew the customer would prefer the motif centered in the middle.
|
 |
Staple not too far from edge. Clip where you need to and fold in at corners.
|
 |
Cut bias strips, about 3 1/4", depends on your fabric.
|
 |
Line up welt with edge and put in just a few staples to hold.
|
 |
Put on your cardboard strip.
|
 |
Fold back other side of bias and staple.
|
   |
Follow the same steps for the bottom of the cornice.
|
 |
Using blackout lining which doesn't fray. Spray on glue and adhere the lining to the top.
|
 |
Don't know how well this can be seen, but smooth the lining on the back then pressing along the edge make a crease.
|
 |
Using the crease as a guide cut 1/2" in from it. Then spray the back of the cornice and lining and finish adhering it.
|
 |
Use a glue gun to make sure all the edges of the lining are secure.
|
 |
Make and press pieces to fit on the inside of the returns.
|
 |
Staple outer edge on with cardboard tape.
|
 |
Use spray glue to hold in place and glue gun around all the edges to secure down.
|
  |
I've changed to using Rowley's fringe adhesive for the gimp. Gives me more time to play with the gimp and dries clear.
|
  |
All done! Front and back view for you.
