How to make an easy DIY window cornice

diy-cornie-1

Last week when I shared my Ikea farmhouse sink tutorial, I mentioned that I was working on cornice boards for my kitchen windows as part of our DIY kitchen remodel.
There are so many fabulous cornice board tutorials out there! Rhoda at Southern Hospitality has one of the best using foam core board.  In fact my original intention was to copy her tutorial exactly, but then as is often the case, I ran into the usual complications one finds when DIYing a project.  I needed such a long cornice for my window that I had to make it out of two pieces and no matter what I did it buckled in the middle.  Also, I struggled attaching the picture hooks to the board.  It was completely user error as I know many others have had much success.  I on the other hand needed to find another solution for the foundation of my board.
I headed off to Lowe’s…ha! again. They don’t even bother asking if they can help me now.  They know by now that I’m not looking to use anything they have the “normal” way, and at this point I have that crazed never ending DIY project look in my eye.  I think they are given special training on how to deal with people like me.  You know, official “Crazy DIYer Training” that all Lowe’s employees are secretly schooled in.
So off I went to find something that was a little more substantial to make my cornices out of but still light weight and most importantly C.H.E.A.P!  Enter

cheap foam wall panels.  You know, the kind that you put behind you drywall.
DSC_0945_edited-1
Here’s a closer picture so you can see what kind I used.  This pack of 5 or was it 6?! panels cost under $7.00.  I knew I could make them work!
Now, finding the perfect fabric to use in my kitchen and eating area was nerve wracking for me. I knew what colors I wanted to use but I was working with yellow walls that needed to be taken into consideration.  I finally stumbled upon this lovely pattern by Waverly. Paddock Shawl in Mineral.
paddock shawl mineral
but yikes! We’re on a budget here people and I needed lots of this fabric.  I just couldn’t justify $23 a yard. I was sad…until I saw this!
amazon tablecloth
Um hello  60 X 120 inches for $26.00!! That’s $2.60 a yard with free shipping and it’s even wider than decorator fabric! I’ll take it…and I did!
cornice-fabric
Now, I know you’re probably thinking but it’s a tablecloth NOT decorator fabric. But, remember I’m covering window cornices here not covering a sofa. I wasn’t expecting much as far as the weight of the fabric but  I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the fabric was a really nice!  Leave it to Waverly for quality!   
Following the directions of the foam core board tutorials I built my cornices from my foam panels.
First you need to measure the width of your window and decide how deep you need to make your cornice board and how tall you want it.  For my kitchen window I needed a 46”width. I made the depth of my cornice 3” to accommodate the header of my bamboo shade and I liked the height of the panels as they were, so I did not need to cut off any excess for the height.  I measured off 3” for each side.
DSC_0947_edited-1
Next using an X-Acto knife I then followed that line and gently cut through the foam.
DSC_0948_edited-1
I repeated the same step for the header of my cornice board out of an additional piece of foam, making sure to include in it’s length the 1/4” or so on each side for the addition of length the side panels add to the overall length of the cornice. Next, using your hot glue gun quickly attach the side panels to the edge of the front piece holding in place until glue has dried.
2011 08 18-1
I attached the side panels to the outer edge of the front piece for additional stability as well as running the header along the top edge of the front panel instead of inside.
DSC_0954_edited-1
Here is my completed cornice for my kitchen window.  Now, it’s time to cover it.  First, cut your batting to wrap around the entire board, with enough extra fabric to be able to pin your fabric in place.
DSC_0956_edited-1
I found that pining the fabric in place worked best for me.  I tried my staple gun but the staples popped out. I decided that pinning the fabric would be my best option and would also allow me to recover the cornices if I ever decided to change out my fabric down the road.  Here’s the type of pin I used. You can find them at Jo-Ann’s or Hobby Lobby and I’m sure any other sewing supply store.  You will need almost one box for each board depending on the size of your cornice.
pin
I highly suggest ironing your fabric first if there are any creases in it.  Then starting in the top and middle of your board, wrap your batting and fabric around the header and pin into place.  Pulling your fabric tight, pin the bottom edge of the fabric across from the top pin next. Move to each side and repeat this step.  Continue pinning your fabric around your board pulling your fabric tight as you go.  You may need to occasionally re-pin as you work around your board to get your fabric as tight as you desire.  When you get to the corners you may need to cut off excess batting and fabric to wrap the fabric neatly around the corners.
To install the cornices I used two 3 inch brackets for my cornice boards since they were 3 inches deep. 
diy-cornie-3
um…seriously. ignore the dimple in my elbow. dimples on face cute..dimples anywhere else. not.

I installed them so that my cornice would fit tightly up to the ceiling when I slid the header over the brackets.  This makes them easy to remove. You just slip them off!
diy-cornie-5
Here is my finished cornice board for my kitchen window! LOVE! I installed three more over my bay windows.  This involved a few different steps.
diy-cornie-4
I wanted this cornice to look like one big cornice.  To do this I created the middle cornice just like above.  But, for the side pieces I added only one “side panel” to the outside edge of the board.  Then, I held up the cornices and measured off the length to be an exact fit to butt up against the middle panel.  I added the headers and finished off the panels with the above instructions still minus the inside side panel.
diy-cornie-6
Because of measuring exactly, once installed the panels appear to connect to each other. Due to the panels being so light weight they are perfectly stable without the inside side panel.
diy-cornie-7
Here’s the completed bay window cornice.  I apologize for the brightness.  It was definitely a nice sunny day! I am so pleased with my cornice boards! I love my fabric and it’s fun to finally have my window treatments up. I estimate that each cornice cost approximately $5.00-$6.00 to make including cost of fabric. I’d call that a frugal window treatment!

diy-cornie-8
This week we are completing the installation of the backsplash in the kitchen, I’ll be sharing that with you soon as well as my drop cloth cushion for my window seat! Until then…
thank you for joining me at the picket fence!

    Hi I’ve been researching a lot about how to make cornices boards, and this is a great idea at a very economical price.
    I was just wondering about the brackets being that it’s a Styrofoam board how well did the brackets secure to and into the Styrofoam. Did the Styrofoam board break up or crack as you the drilling into it. Any info will help I’m looking to do this with in this next week, thanks for posting. S. Gby

      Hi Sabrina, actually the lip of the styrofoam topper part rests on the brackets so you never have to actually “attach” the brackets to the cornice. It just rests on them. Hope that made sense!

    I used your tutorial and had pretty nice results, well I’m happy with them anyway. I will say finding a way to fix the fabric and batting to the foam was a nightmare. I could not find the exact pins you suggested at our local JoAnn, but what I had very close and they would not stay in. I ended up dipping sequin pins (1/4 long) in foam specific glue, called Foam Fusion and pushing them through the layers, then leaving it to dry. I also used this product instead of hot glue to build the cornices.

    Thank you for warning your readers that the staple gun wouldn’t work. That was no lie!

    A big thanks for the tutorial, my bedroom windows look fab 😀

    My aunt made a cornice for my big bedroom window using the long side/corner of a refrigerator box which happened to be just the right length. We bought a sheet that matched the bedding too. We used one of the cheap white metal curtain rods and just set it on top over the curtains. It worked great!

Yesterday on the way home from school I had the ra Yesterday on the way home from school I had the radio tuned to my daughter's favorite station and a song that was playing had a line in it that really stood out to me. It made reference to a 'season of the sticks' which I think its safe to say must mean winter. I thought that was such an accurate, albeiet kind of depressing, picture of this time of the year.

While we definitely have more than our fair share of evergreen trees here in Oregon, we also have plenty of trees and bushes that are reduced to sticks during the cold months. But, this morning as I looked out my kitchen window, greedily sipping from my mug of coffee, I marveled at the beauty of the winter sunrise. The sky was all pinks and oranges with frost on the rooftops and a little bit of fog. And, I realized that part of why it was so amazing is because I could see it more clearly through the sticks. The bare branches allowed me a view that I wouldn't be able to see if those same branches were covered in leaves. Being stripped down to almost nothing revealed something magnificent.

We have seasons of the sticks in our lives too, don't we? Times when we feel as though we've been stripped bare and left exposed. It's easy to think that this is a place where all is ugly and dark. And yet, just like the winter sunrise was more visible because of the bare branches, the vulnerability we feel in the winter season of our souls allows us to get a glimpse of beauty that we wouldn't see otherwise. In the lush, warm seasons it's so easy to become comfortable. But in the bare, cold seasons we recognize just how much we need to rely on the One who placed the stars in the heavens and is sovereign over all.

If you feel like your soul has been stripped bare and you've been left exposed and vulnerable, may I encourage you today to ask the Lord to help you to see the beauty in this 'season of the sticks'.

“Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:7
I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
