This is a great valance that is so easy to make. It will give your room a more sophisticated and finished look.
I started with one yard of fabric for each window. Hem the sides and bottom of the fabric and make a 1 1/2" pocket along the top of the fabric (allowing enough room for the valance rod). Can't sew? No problem! Just use stitch witch and a hot iron, or like me - use a hot glue gun. That's it. The valance rod is very inexpensive (around $2 each at Target) and the fabric can be too. I spent $10 a yard on mine. Use ribbon sold by the spool to tie up the sides, only a few dollars for several yards. The knots can be hidden in the back or covered with shells, buttons, etc. to dress up the front. Have fun and be creative.
I added a couple of pictures from the valances I've made for my home. I hope they help to give you ideas for your own home.
