So I have been trying to get valances up in my windows for quite some time now. I have had the fabric, just needed the time. I finally had the time and got one done...put it up....and it looks pitiful....I think I made it too short- width wise, and I made it so rings would just clip on and it looks weird hanging up there and the rings hang down too low so you can see the blinds behind it at the top...it is just ALL WRONG. So what do I do? I thought about making it into a rod pocket...maybe adding strips of fabric at the end to lengthen it - I have done that before and it turned out okay. It is just so self defeating when you are so excited about something and finally get it done but it ends up being a big disappointment and you feel like you just waisted precious free time. However I am determined to figure something out because my walls and windows are so bare and boring something has to be done!
Any suggestions???
I have no curtain expertise... but hear you on the disappointment of crafting gone wrong! Keep it up... and post pictures when you succeed. :)
