Making Palladian Window Treatments
Palladian windows can offer a unique touch to a space. However, sometimes the window’s arch may be too much for a space. The arch can be softened quickly and easily with some fabric and a couple of other materials. Creating a simple fabric treatment with 3 materials and 4 easy steps can drastically change the look and feel of the window.
Materials and Tools:
5 small cup hooks4 yards fabric5 fabric hair ties (with elastic inside)
Steps:
1. Attach the cup hooks to the trim around the window (one directly in the center at the top, two at the 90-degree angle points and two that split the difference at the 45-degree angle points).
Hem the ends of the fabric.
Gather a small amount of fabric in the center of the four yards and tie it as you would a pony tail. Put the treatment in place by attaching the hair tie to the center cup hook and arrange the pouf of fabric until satisfied.
4. Work on one side at a time and pull the fabric through the next two hair ties as above, and then attach them to the appropriate cup hooks. Arrange the poufs until satisfied.
