On Friday night I FINALLY finished the DIY pelmet project that I had bought fabric for months ago. It was super easy and I'm still not sure why I waited so long to take care of it. I can't thank Jenny from Little Green Notebook enough for this easy tutorial that made the project a snap. I started with a couple of pieces of foam core:
Then taped the pieces together with duct tape:
the Puppy clearly became bored with the whole affair and found something better to do:
Wrapped it with fabric and batting and stapled everything down smoothly then added nail head trim:
And here it is finally installed in the dormer window in the Master bedroom. Now I just need to paint the bookcase below and try to take a better picture so that you can see the whole effect.
Thanks again to Jenny's tutorial from last September for making this so easy.

This looks awesome! I would be so intimidated doing that.
ReplyDeleteJulie, once I finally had all the supplies it was really easy. In Jenny's version she actually did a shape but I'm not sure I would have the patience for that. I decided to get my shape with the nailhead trim.
