Window Cornices

We like to build stuff. Lots of stuff. So here's a place for threads on other DIY projects and tutorials -- not just studio or music-related gear -- but just about anything else you're building yourself... Anything from gardens to wine racks, and wave division multiplexers to toys-for-tots!

Window Cornices

Postby alexfranke » Mon Jul 07, 2008 10:29 pm

Just call me Martha Stewart. I finally got around to making three simple fabric-covered window cornices for our reading room, using all scrap wood and about 1.5 yards of fabric that my wife picked out for about $12. 1/4" plywood was sufficient. The hardest part was actually installing them. (What a pain the in the you-know-what!)

I was shocked to find that these can actually cost US$200-300 EACH if you have someone do them for you! I found shape ideas (and really high prices) here: http://www.fabricworkroom.com/store/Cor ... c-697.html

I got oriented by reading through this Lowes tutorial: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=h ... rnice.html

If you really want to have a good result in repairing and remodeling your window is better to consult for an expert.
