DIY Window Valance

Good morning friends! Today I’m sharing my easy tutorial for our kitchen window valance.

DIY Window Valance
If you follow us on Instagram you’ll know I post a lot of pictures of our kitchen and over the past few weeks I’ve received so many questions about our valance I thought I’d share how I created it (and if you don’t follow us, hop on over to Instagram to follow our day to day life through pretty pictures).

Now, I made this valance before the days of our blog, so this tutorial won’t have step-by-step photos. But I think it’s a simple enough project that they aren’t needed.

I sewed our valance, but you could easily make this a no-sew project by using iron on adhesive instead.

DIY Window Valance

Supplies:

  • Material (I used a curtain panel I purchased from Target)
  • Sewing machine
  • Thread

Instructions:

  1. Measure and cut fabric, leaving enough fabric to make 1/2 inch seam on both sides and the bottom of the valance and a 1-2 inch seam on the top.
  2. Pin 1/2 inch seams on all three sides (sides and bottom), iron and sew.
  3. Pin a 1-2 inch seam on the top of the valance, iron and sew (this will create the pocket for the curtain rod).

That’s all there is to it. I told you it was easy!

We've been making great progress, just yesterday our new sink, faucet, and counters were all installed. It's all of these little changes that are making such a big difference.
