We’re ready for a lot more big time gardening this year.

It doesn’t take much!.Then it was time to decorate!

This style of cornice needs three strips of fabric.They give you suggestions for how wide you should cut your strips, depending on the weight of your fabric.I was using a medium weight cotton drapery fabric and I cut all three strips to 9″ wide, with plenty of length just in case I messed up.

I later learned that this is pretty hard to mess up though!.The cornice kit that I was using had a 9″ drop (height) total, but they also come in chunkier sizes with 12″ and 15″ drops, so you’d cut wider strips for those sizes.. All I had to do was lay my fabric over the cornice and use the tuck tool to push it into the cracks on the front and the back to secure it in place!

I started with the two outer strips and finished off in the middle.

I learned that it’s very forgiving and any extra you have peeking out can be tucked away into the cracks, never to be seen again!.You can find more posts about things in this living room in my.
