Scalloped Cornice With Ruffled Bands
Making a Scalloped Ruffled Cornice
Here is are some pictures of a cornice that I recently finished. The first picture is the drawing the decorator gave me, and the last picture is the finished cornice. The decorator supplied me with a paper pattern, shown in the slide show (see below link):
On this cornice I also took some pictures of how I made it. The pictures are kind of hit and miss, with some gaps in the process. But the main thing I show with the pictures is how I made the curve and how I staple on the curved runners at the bottom front.
After making using the decorator's pattern to cut the front cornice board, I then used the bottom of the same pattern to make the scalloped runners. After tracing the pattern onto the cornice facing board, I stapled cardboard strips about 1/8" above the lines. As I put the polyester and the cover on the front, I could feel the edge of the cardboard strip and it served as a guide of where to staple the face fabric on, and where to put the top of each runner. This is shown in the slide show.
