Valances

I've been wanting some valances for our kitchen, but haven't found any that I love. So after finding some fun fabric, Pants and I made some valances! They took about 20 mins and only cost as much as the yard of fabric since we already had foam board. I used foam board left over from a home improvement project, less than a yard of fabric and straight pins!

First I measured the window, and we added 2 inches. We cut a piece of foam to go across the front of the window, and one inch pieces to box it in. Like in this picture:


Once the pieces were put together we ended up with this:

I then laid these on the fabric and cut it to fit and pinned it to cover the foam. I forgot to take pictures of this step, sorry! Once the fabric was pinned I ended up with this:

It was super easy, took no time at all, and we like how they turned out!
