56 (62) (84) x 12 polyester fiber fill
8 (12) (14) Decorative Tack pin & pinch back closure
or Covered button
Coordinating trim 56 (62) (84)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. 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, on the bottoms and tops of the side panels of the cornice securing with the remaining friction foam rope pieces.
Step 2: Secure the tassel trim on the front bottom edge of the cornice either with strips of peal and stick velcro, iron on fusion tape, with a glue gun or even hand whip stitched into place.
Step 3: Measure and lightly mark the pattern of the tufts making sure the pattern is even. Start in the center and gently push the decorative tack pin through the fabric, polyester fiber fill and foam board in the center of the cornice secure in the back with the push pin. Continue in this manner until your tuft pattern is complete.
Helpful hint: It is easier to use an ice pick or an awl to puncture through fabric, polyester fiber fill and foam board and then securing the decorative tack pin and pinch clip.You have just created your own beautiful, elegant cornice easily and in less than a half an hour!
If you dont 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.
