curtians & day night shades

Those darn tie backs on the curtians would always catch the day/night shade when trying to open and close them. I fixed that by replacing the curtians by boxing in the ends using the curtian material as covering. Looks great and really wasn't that expensive.

I would appreciate it if you could explain how you boxed in the ends using the curtain material as covering. I have an idea how you might have done it, but was wondering what other material you need to box in the ends.

I'd also like to see them! I am having a hard time trying to visualize them so I need to see the real thing.

The materials needed are as follows:
1) 4 x 8 sheet of 1/4" plywood
2) batten (sp) to cover plywood
3) 1" x 1" brackets (2 per side of window)
4) #8 x 3/8 long screws (use to screw into plywood)
5) 1/4 inch staples
6) brads & wood glue (for fastening sides and front together)

I started by cutting the plywood into 3-1/2" wide strips x the length of the curtian length (make sure you have enough material to cover)
then cut the side strips (mine were 2-1/2" to 2-7/8, measure yours)the same length as the front strips. Then glue and brad together the front and side strips. Staple the batten to the assembled parts. Take the curtian and remove all the stitching and backing and then staple to the new boxed curtian. You have to remove the boxed item on top of the window to remove the curtian rod and brackets then reinstall the top boxed item. Install one bracket to the top and one to the bottom of the side and your done.

I will try to add pictures.
Good Luck
