Changing window proportions, the whole room can be changed by altering the-windows. Windows can be made wider by placing a block of wood, 3 inches to 4 inches outside the frame at the height by placing a board the height desired above the window. Both the height and width of the window can be changed by placing a board above the window on the wall and out from each side 3 inches to 4 inches.

The draperies should cover the window frame. The balance should be placed above the boar<Land extended to each outer edge of the frame with added width.

To make your own cornice you use a 5 inch thin board that is attached to the top of the window. A rod is provided for each pair of curtains. An extension rod may be used if you prefer. The cornice is made on buckram that is bought 24 inches wide. Usually the width of the cornice is 8 inches or 12 inches. Thus two to three strips of cornice can be made from each width of buckram. Cut the fabric 2 inches wider than the buckram and line it to keep the light from showing through.

When made, the buckram is pushed between the lining and covering and the cornice is pressed with a hot iron over a damp cloth.
