Now I have a perfect pair of slightly-Summery, but really actually good for any season, snazzy little pillows!.

Then it was time to decorate!This style of cornice needs three strips of fabric.

They give you suggestions for how wide you should cut your strips, depending on the weight of your fabric.I was using a medium weight cotton drapery fabric and I cut all three strips to 9″ wide, with plenty of length just in case I messed up.I later learned that this is pretty hard to mess up though!.

The cornice kit that I was using had a 9″ drop (height) total, but they also come in chunkier sizes with 12″ and 15″ drops, so you’d cut wider strips for those sizes.. All I had to do was lay my fabric over the cornice and use the tuck tool to push it into the cracks on the front and the back to secure it in place!I started with the two outer strips and finished off in the middle.

I learned that it’s very forgiving and any extra you have peeking out can be tucked away into the cracks, never to be seen again!.

I went for this really simple look, but you can also add in cording, or beading or really any kind of trim you like along the two “seams” in the middle to separate the three sections.on hand for another project that I’ve been trying to do for about 8 months or so and I thought I’d experiment with it a bit and see what happened.. Rust-Oleum 267727 Specialty Mirror Spray, 6-Ounce.

It’s totally not meant for this at all.You’re supposed to spray it on the back side of clear glass to create a mirror-like finish, but I thought the worst that could happen is that it would look terrible and then I would just spray some glossy white over top and everything would be fine.

It didn’t look terrible though!It looked amazing!
