How to Make A Fabric Covered Cornice Board
In this Custom Cornice Board video, I will teach the techniques that I use to build and fabricate two different styles of custom cornice boards.
We will begin by exploring fabric options, then move into how to accurately measure your window to determine the dimensions of your cornice and estimate fabric yardage.
Next, we will visit the workshop to select and cut the wood for the frame. Once this is done, using the proper tools and techniques, we will assemble the frame, making it ready to add the fabric.
Back in the workroom, we will begin planning, cutting, and stitching our fabric. Once the fabric has been cut and sewn, we will begin adding the layers to the frame.
Detailed instructions will be shown on how to pattern-match and join widths of fabric, how to make and join cording to back facing, and the bottom band.
Before sealing the back of the cornice with blackout lining, I will walk you through the steps on how to customize your cornice by adding the detail of a coordinating bottom band encased by cording.
Throughout the video, you will be given close-up views on how to conquer the corners, reduce bulk, and the fine details of finishing the edge of the legs and cording. Plus, you will learn the importance of adding cardboard tack strips to achieve a smooth clean edge.
The techniques taught in this video can be applied to any cornice.
