How to make wooden valances. If you want a scalloped edge or any. Trim fabric to vertical and horizontal lengths, leaving one extra inch on the top, bottom and sides. To make this you’ll need to start out with a long piece of mdf wood.

If you want to go ahead and create a green. I suggest going a few inches taller and wider than your window frame. Measure from top of window frame down to where you want the valance to hang.

Made from wood, and trim. Decide how long you want it and how wide. It is super simple to make and no power tools are.

The first thing you want to do is attach each of your 2 corner ends to the wall. It will be covered with batting and fabric which hides any unevenness. Dress up your windows with these easy wood shop created valances.

Then, we cut the oak pieces of wood to measure the length of each window minus the 2 inches of the ripped wood above. Now, depending on how much depth you want to give the valance measure and attach two sideboards to the sides with the help of l brackets. Use your window’s edge as a guide to align.

Use your 2 1/2 inch screws to attach the wood corners. Measure and mark for the returns (sides of the valance). Low cost pine and a little patience with simple power tools will provide some great result.
