We select fabric or desired material. It is preferable to use polyester. Measure the window size. We attach the fabric to the cornice for this we put one side on the other, the width of the cornice. We process the ends. We also make a pocket from below. We make two holes on the pipe.
We insert the pipe into the pocket made in advance. Wrap the fabric on the pipe. In the lower pocket we insert a weighting agent. In special holes on the cornice, we spread the cords.
We fix the cord with a knot. We wrap the cord on the pipe on one side. So that the cord does not fall insert special plugs to the end. In the wall above the window we insert special designs that will hold the cornice. But the pipe should scroll freely.
You can facilitate your task with the help of special finished designs that will raise and lower the fabric.
