Instructions

Finished Size: 36 wide, 6 tall, 5 deep

(Note: The window shown is 34" across, and the cornice

measures 36" wide and 6" tall. If your window measurements

vary, adjust the sizes accordingly. For windows wider than

36", glue two sheets together along the 12" edges, joining

them with thick, white craft glue and wood picks or

toothpicks; u-pins inserted between the pieces will help

enhance the bond. Let glue dry completely before moving on to

the cornice construction.)

1. Using ruler and sharp pencil, draw a line down center of

foam sheet, creating two, 36" x 6" halves. Wax serrated knife

and using knife like a saw, cut along the scored line. Set

aside one 36" x 6" piece for cornice front. Mark and cut out

two, 4" x 6" pieces for cornice sides. Save remaining foam

pieces for future use.

2. Refer to Fig. 1 to join sides to front. Place glue on three

wood picks, and insert into 6" edge of side piece. Using

thick, white craft glue or low temperature glue gun, join side

to front. Repeat with second side. Let dry completely.

3. If using quilt batting, cut 36" x 6" piece of batting. Glue

to front of cornice.

4. Cut fabric strip measuring 54" x 18". Press fabric, if

needed. Center and pin fabric to cornice front; pins are

temporary and help hold fabric in place during assembly.

Carefully wrap fabric around cornice frame, neatly folding at

the corners and wrapping fabric onto the back. After cornice

is covered, glue fabric in place. If any of the cornice frame

is uncovered, cover with fabric scrap. If using pins to help

hold fabric in place on the reverse side, dip pins in glue

first, for better hold. Let glue dry.

5. If desired, cut ribbon in 15" lengths. Wrap and glue around

each end, and in front, 1-1/2" from each corner.

6. Attach angle brackets to wall; slide cornice over them and

pin in place.
