I thought it would be helpful to make a video on how I made the tailored valance along with the step by step instructions I did. It is really hard for me not to gush about this video that Brady {my nephew and assistant} did because I am his Aunt. But I think he did a pretty awesome job! It was our first video, and it was a learning process for both of us. {after watching it, I think I need to get some botox injected into my wrinkly hands, or use one of my daughters for the video}
We used my Nikon camera to do the stills and the video. It was so convenient and easy to toggle back and forth from still to video with a push of a button. We didn’t have to set up two different cameras, which makes it so much easier and faster. Hopefully with the step by step tutorial along with this video, I have covered all bases for anyone to make their own tailored valance.
Step by step directions found here. I used Calico Corners Plataue fabric for the valance, found here
I would love to know what you think of the video. Is the step by step tutorial and video helpful, or should I just give up my acting career and stick to written instructions only?
Wow, great job! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I loved how it was silent with titles and fast. I think it’s always great to have both – so you can see and read what to do. Loved it. And, congrats on the Calico Corners feature!!
I loved it!! Great job to you both. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into that… I’ve tried only one, and couldn’t stop laughing! (It’s currently tucked away in the “bloopers” file!)
great video Stephanie! I am so visual, so I think the video is the way to go for sure! (rather have YOU narrate it) hahahah
congrats on the calico corners thingy! wooohooo!

WOA–way to go Brady and Aunt Steph! I am such a visual person, so I really prefer video over step by step written instructions. Very professional and you made this look easy enough where I may even try to attempt this 🙂
This is fantastic!!! I’m going to attempt it!
Just put up blinds in my kitchen, and was hoping to soften the look with a fabric valance. Read your tutorial first, but still had questions especially regarding the fold. Then watched the video & my questions were answered. Thank you.
Oh thank you Terry, it isn’t easy to make those tutorials, so I SOOOO appreciate the positive feedback!
