And here’s proof I’m no pro:.

I later learned that this is pretty hard to mess up though!.The cornice kit that I was using had a 9″ drop (height) total, but they also come in chunkier sizes with 12″ and 15″ drops, so you’d cut wider strips for those sizes.. All I had to do was lay my fabric over the cornice and use the tuck tool to push it into the cracks on the front and the back to secure it in place!

I started with the two outer strips and finished off in the middle.I learned that it’s very forgiving and any extra you have peeking out can be tucked away into the cracks, never to be seen again!.I went for this really simple look, but you can also add in cording, or beading or really any kind of trim you like along the two “seams” in the middle to separate the three sections.

Just make sure you get the kind of trim with a tab on it, so you can tuck it in and leave just the cording or trim showing.I’m thinking maybe a little bit of red beading at Christmas time!

It’s so easy, I just may get carried away here.. To hang them, I just had to drill the brackets onto the wall and push the cornice onto the brackets anywhere in the back fabric tucking spot.

Just look at that professionalism!Except the behind the hutch part.

🙂 I did it slowly, bit by bit, 10 minutes at a time, but eventually it got done!What a difference those clean walls made.

It really wasn’t easy-peasy at all with baby Jack around, and I had to be all mentally prepared and stuff, but now I’m so happy I did it.It’s so fresh and clean in there now!.
