Iris Tie-Up Valance
- The Tie-Up Valance is styled flat with ribbon-ties. To create the look simply cinch-up the bottom edge of the valance, tie the ribbons into bows at your desired length, and pouf the center section (100” will have 2 center sections).
- Suggested length when tied-up: 22” sides | 17” center
- Widths: 50” | 75” | 100” (50” and 75” have 2 ties, 100” has 3 ties)
- Rod Pocket: 3”
- Trim Style: Grosgrain ribbon-ties in colors shown
- Lined (lining is cream)
- Fabric Content: 100% Cotton
- Rod Options: Decorative pole | Continental rod | Lockseam rod
- Size Calculations: (Refer to the Diagrams tab for complete instructions on How to Measure a Window.) If using a Continental or Lockseam rod, add a total of 7” to the width to allow for the sides of the curtain rod (3-1/2” each side). If using a Decorative pole with finials, do not include 7” for the sides. For all rod types, add up to an additional 10” to allow for poufing.
How to Measure a Window
Measure windows with a steel measuring tape. Measure all windows in the room, even if they appear to be the same size.
Determine rod placement (options):
- Distance out past window -- 4” each side is a good rule of thumb
- Distance out past window -- abut against outside edges of window frame
- Top of window frame -- corner to corner
- Wall to wall
Determine drapery hardware to be used:
- Determine how far above window to place hardware -- 4” above frame is a good rule of thumb
- Determine return size needed (the distance that the rod projects from the wall/window frame
Measure for drapery length:
- Apron length
- Floor length
- Ceiling to floor
- Allow for floor clearance -- floor length draperies should end 1/2” above floor or just short of the carpet
- Hint: Place a thin piece of cardboard on top of the carpet to help measure evenly.
