Houses with curtains look beautiful, but with valances, a simple, curtained room becomes elegant and classy. Valances are draperies that are used to conceal the top of curtains in a decorative way. If you are a curtain lover, then you must have a large collection of curtains, which are stored up in the attic. Do not buy valances anymore, make them instead. No, you do not need needles and thread for this project because you will not be doing any sewing. You do not even have to cut the curtains into pieces. All you need are old curtains and clip rings.
