Single swag across 72" window. The swag is two widths of fabric, railroaded. The seam is folded to the back of the pleats.

Panels are pre-folded and attached to the board with velcro.

Decorative cording completes the ensemble. Scroll down for detail on the corded rosettes.

This picture shows the fullness of the swag.

The rosettes were simple to fashion. Cut three one-yard pieces of cording and braid them into one cord. Use hot glue at each end to hold the braid together and prevent fraying.

I considered many ways to hold the braid in the circular shape, while still having the flexibility to mold it on-site into a perfect circle which has a bit of a dome on the front for a three-dimensional look. Hand stitching or hot glue may have been too stiff or would have broken.

I opted to use one inch safety pins to hold the braid in the circular shape. As I shaped the circle, I used the pins to hold the layers together. It took onl;y a handful of pins for each rosette. The end result was a stable, but flexible accessory which could easily be attached to the treatment.
