For Mac78 who said she was looking in consignment shops for valences.
I was doing that too but couldn't find what I wanted so I used placemats, napkins and fabric glue to make these.

Just trying to pass on ideas.....

I used some old hand kerchiefs for a valance in my kitchen and am quite pleased with the effect. I've seen some examples of placemats, towels, etc used for curtains and they are so cute! :)

adorable and I love seeing things in bloom through the window - lucky you!

Nice job, I like those. The valance I found was white with embroidered edges and was $4. I only have 1 window.

Mine isn't hanging yet. I still have to finish the paint.

Oh, I like those! That's great material!

You can also use hem tape (iron on) for things you don't want to sew. It's very easy to use.
