Instructions
Finished Size: 36" wide, 12" tall, 7" deep

(Note: The window shown is 34" across, and the cornice
measures 36" wide and 12" 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.)

instructions:
1. Save one 36" x 12" foam sheet for front of cornice. Measure
two, 12" x 6" pieces on second foam sheet; score lines with
pencil. These will be side pieces. Wax serrated knife with
candle stub, and cut pieces from foam sheet. Or, try dental
floss: stand the sheet on its edge, and hold a 20" length of
dental floss along the scored line, positioning one hand at
the bottom of the board and the other at the top; draw the
dental floss down through the foam sheet along the scored line.

2. Refer to Fig. 1 to join sides to front. Place glue on three
wood picks, and insert into 12" 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 12" piece of batting. Glue to front of cornice.

4. Cut fabric strip measuring 54" x 28". 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. Attach angle brackets to wall; slide cornice over them and pin in place.
