How Do You Make A Pole Swag Valance?
A pole swag valance refers to a long scarf-like piece of material that is artistically draped over a decorative pole to make a window treatment. You can get very creative with both the length and style of pole swag valance depending on the look you want for your room as well as the placement and size of the window. As long as you choose a material that drapes well and will not fray with sewing, a swag valance is simple enough for even a beginning sewer to make. Step 1 Measure the length and width of the window and double the amount to determine the length of the material you will need. (The extra material will allow for draping, looping and tying the finished swag.) Step 2 Determine approximately how you will be draping the swag onto the pole. If you would like to make large loops over the pole, you should keep the width of the swag approximately 12 inches. If you would like a valance with a long center panel, you should allot 24 inches for the width. Step 3 Choose a flowing, light mat
