of the methods below!Back in the Summer, I pinned a pin.
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!.
I went for this really simple look, but you can also add in cording, or beading or really any kind of trim you like along the two “seams” in the middle to separate the three sections.
Just make sure you get the kind of trim with a tab on it, so you can tuck it in and leave just the cording or trim showing.Track yourself down a can of this paint and see what fun things you can think up to make all fancy-looking!.

Otherwise, wouldn’t I just gut the place already and stop torturing myself?After last Summer’s post on.
