| 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. |
