You will need: Vinyl Fabric “leather” 56”  (62”)  (84”) x 18”
                                    56”  (62”)  (84”) x 12” polyester fiber fill
                                    Decorative furniture tacks 96 (128) (172)

To Assemble:

Step 1:  Lay material face down, center the polyester fiber fill starting at the top pull fabric over edge and over the channel, tuck the fabric in the channel using the long friction foam rope to secure. Turn cornice around and do the other long side using the same method.

Step 2:  Tuck in the short ends of the cornice using the shorter friction foam rope pieces in the same manner.  Neatly fold the corners in, as you would do wrapping a package.

Step 3:  Lay covered cornice face up, with a No. 2 pencil measure 1 ½” from the top edge, mark in three or four places and lightly draw a straight line. Continue this procedure until you have drawn a frame 1 ½” from the edge on all sides.

Step 4:  Starting from the corner of your “penciled” frame place your first decorative furniture tack. You will place one tack every inch until you end up back at your starting corner. Be sure to stay on your lightly penciled line to insure straight even rows.

Helpful hint: You should be able to just push the decorative furniture tacks in by hand, but a small tack hammer may be helpful.

You have just created your own beautiful, elegant cornice easily and in less than a half an hour!

 

If you don’t think the edges of the fabric covering the cornice are tight enough, just gently pull a section of the friction foam rope out, pull fabric a little tighter and replace the friction foam rope. You can change the whole look of your room by using different fabrics, adornments, trims or a create whole different style and all using the same cornice over again.
