Conclusion

A valance is another favorite among window treatments and generally used for purely decorative purposes. You require a piece of fabric approximately twice as wide as your window and about sixteen inches long. Start by hemming the sides and bottom to generate smooth edges. Next, fold the top edge over about four inches, toward the backside of the fabric. Sew a straight line at the two-inch mark, to generate a ruffle, and then sew just above the four-inch mark, to attach the bottom edge. This will generate a rod pocket. Slide the valance onto the curtain rod, and scrunch and fluff as required. Even if you don't have a lot of decorating or sewing experience, you can create your own window treatments. They are easy and fun to make, and when your guests compliment the look, you have the added bonus of saying you made the treatments yourself.
