This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. We are almost finished with our valance project. The front portion of the valance is finished. The button covers has been completed and sewn on to the front of the valance. The valance board is completed. It has a predrilled holes on the bottom where we would hook them to the L brackets that already have been fixed to the wall. So it is time to staple the valance to the board. I have a center mark marked on the board here so that would be easy to line up right along where my pleat is. So I would go ahead and start stapling all the back and the front of the center. To make sure it is stable in the center and it would not be drippy once we install it. Then I can do along the back here. I would do the same thing on this end. Then I would turn the board up on the side to do the ends and in the next clip we would be installing the board on the wall. We would be tucking this end around but we would be installing the board on the wall where the L brackets are already fasten to the wall. So that would be the next clip.
