The first step in the assembly of your cornice kit is to measure the window to be covered. Measure the actual window size or if it has trim around it measure the width to the outside of the trim. If the window to be covered has vertical blinds mounted on the wall, measure the width of the actual rod the blinds are mounted on.
Once you have determined the width add one-two inches on either side to be sure you will clear the window/rod and that the end caps will be flush against the wall.
Now you are ready to start the assembly process. First lay out the straight pieces provided in your kit. Mark the last piece so that the total length of the cornice board matches the measurement you have determined in the previous step. Now cut the last piece where you have marked it and cut the piece (cutting and sealing the foam will be covered in a future Blog).
Now you are ready to complete the assembly process. Use a full size LOW temperature glue gun (not a mini glue gun or you won’t be able to get enough in time to seal the pieces together) and start gluing the straight pieces together (CAUTION: do not use a hot glue gun or you will melt the foam).
Once the straight piece is glued together re-measure the piece to insure it is the desired length (measure twice).
Now we are ready for the final step. Use you glue gun to attach the two provided end caps…now your cornice board is complete and ready to decorate.
It’s that easy and that fun and you did it yourself.
No wood, no sewing, just be creative.
