Hello! My name is Lindsay on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I’m going to be showing you
how to make a valance. There are three different kinds of valances that you can make, there’s
a basic valance which is straight or short fabric panel that can be stapled to a mountain
board or it can have a rod pocket opening. There’s also a scarf valance that is normally
6 to 8 yards of fabric that is draped over a rod and also you can drape it over wall
sconce. The third one is a called a blouson valance it is similar to the basic valance
except this one is going to have two layers, it is self lined and you sew through both
layers, it is also going to be stuffed with either tissue paper, newspaper, you can even
use plastic bags and it makes it pouf at the bottom. A valance can be pleated, gathered,
have a rod pocket opening or it be mounted to a mountain board. And today I’m going
to show you how to make a blouson valance.
