Covering Your
Cornice...
The Gathered Tube Method
Complete instructions on how much and what to buy are
included with the Kit
 Fold
the Fabric in half with the right sides together.
Sew the Fabric together into a long Tube, wrong side out,
using a 1/2 inch seam allowance.
There is no need to sew either end of the Tube closed.
Remove the loose End from the Cornice Frame.
Turn the Fabric Tube right side out.
Feed the entire Fabric Tube onto the Cornice Frame.
Position the seam of the Fabric Tube along the back of the Cornice
Frame, about 1 inch from the top edge of the Cornice.
Attach the loose End to the Cornice Frame with glue and the provided screws.
Pull The Fabric Tube over the Cornice End. Turn the Raw edges of the
Fabric under approximately one inch. Staple the edge of the fabric to
the Cornice End. Repeat at the other End of the Cornice.
To Hang the Cornice, follow the instructions in the Kit or in the Video.
In addition when you attach the Hanging Brackets to the
Cornice, place a few staples around the Bracket.
This will help to keep the fabric from catching on the brackets when
the Cornice is slide on and off the wall.
Now Just
adjust the Gathers along the front of the Cornice, to achieve the look that
you want. And Hang Your Finished on the Wall!
It's as Easy as that!
The Only Limitation is Your Imagination
