This is pure genius. I've done foam boards but cutting them creates little foams balls and static. But this is so much easier, more cost effective and overall smarter! BTW, you can go into setting and slow playback speed. I used 0.75 and found that a comfortable setting. Thank you for this great video.
If it's a little fast, watch it a few times. Don't like the music? Put on the cc and read the instructions as it goes along. I watched it a few times because this really is a good idea and worth putting in some extra effort. Thank you for this video! I especially like how you don't cut through to make the sides and square off the corners. It's such a clean angle that way instead of glueing pieces to the sides! That also is a good idea but this creates much cleaner lines. Very nice!
Great project, and simple instruction teaching!
Maybe if she showed how she hung the thing up
This is the third diy valence video I watched and not one of you showed us how to secure it to the wall? Please. ❤
At approximately 9:23 you can see the the existing brackets from the previous window treatments. We simply rested the board on top these. If you don't have existing brackets you could use removable hooks (like command hooks). Depending on the weight of fabric you use, I suspect you could even use picture hooks.
Music gotta go
I actually love this music. Haha! It's the best thing about the video! It's so cute and happy! Haha!
can you tell me which brackets you used to hang them. It LOOKS like you used one for a 3"pocket rod but just rested the board on the bracket?? I did others using insulatin board, which is thicker, so was able to use velcro strips, as they were not at all heavy. But this Readi Board is less and 1/4" so the velcro strips won't work. Advice? Thanks!!
You're exactly right! We just used the existing brackets from the previous window treatments and rested the board on top. If you don't have existing brackets you could use removable hooks (like command hooks). Depending on the weight or fabric you use, I suspect you could even use picture hooks.
What thickness board was used for this, please? ❤
This project uses our standard Readi-Board. The thickness is approximately 3/16".
What are the hardware pieces called?
There are a variety of ways you could hang your cornice board. Simple L brackets are available at most hardware stores in a variety of sizes. In this video we utilized the brackets from a set of curtains that had been hanging in that spot. The final product (depending on the fabric you've chosen) should be light enough to be supported by a few nails. Adhesive backed, removable hooks may also work if you hang them horizontally and choose a size large enough to support the cornice board.
You can also use the entire 2.5" pocket valance rod that came with those valance brackets with the middle support if making a long one like I need to do over a sliding door with vertical blinds. This will support the weight (especially since those longer pocket valance rods come with a center support) and then just place your finished foam board "box" (cornice/valance) right over the rod and brackets to rest lightly and let gravity do the rest (you may also duct tape the extension wall brackets to the inside of the cornice for extra stability. Those pocket valance rod brackets are adjustable up to 6" projection which is what I would need to go over the headrail and louvers of vertical blinds.
Nice...you didn’t show how to attach it
At approximately 9:24 you can see that there are brackets still attached the to wall from the previous curtains. The new cornice board simply sits on top of these brackets. The foam board is very light, so you could use a variety of ways to attach the project to the wall.
Love the video...HATE the music! How irritating😖
too fast. Hard to follow
this is pretty bad. all that and didn't even show us how to hang it. thumbs down.
why do people take a good video example and speed thru the instructions while talking rapidly over annoying unnecessary music? cant mute it because you lose the spoken instructions.
We're sorry you found the music annoying. If you'd like we'd be happy to upload a version with no music.
Annoying music, makes person a nervous wreck.
