{DIY} Adding Pom Pom Fringe

April 2, 2013 by Amber Filed Under: DIY, Featured, foyer, personal design style, project 6 Comments

When I {or I should say my husband) installed a curtain rod above our front door, I chose the same drapery panels that are in our kitchen and family room. I wanted to do a little something more to them, so I decided to add black pom pom fringe to the edges of the panels. I am happy to report that this was super easy to do! It took about 20 minutes one night to get both panels finished!

After

Here’s a little step by step if you are thinking of adding a little pizazz to store bought drapery panels…

The Materials

You Will Need

1. Black Pom Pom Fringe cut to size
2. Aleene’s Fabric Fusion
3. Drapery Panels
4. Scissors

I had the lady at Jo Ann Fabrics cut the pom pom fringe to size for each panel. She was great and added an extra few inches, which I cut off after the project was complete. It was nice to have that extra bit of fringe in case one side had an unfinished edge.

First, I layed the fringe in place to make sure I liked the way it looked. When I knew I had enough and it was just the way I wanted, I moved the fringe to the side and started to add fabric fusion to the panels. I love this stuff! I have used it to attach trim to lamp shades and now this! The fabric is washable after 24 hours and can also be dry cleaned! I don’t have a picture of this step, since I was using both hands, but I applied the fusion about 1/4 ” from the edge of each panel.

I started this project on the carpet, and then realized I might be getting permanent glue on the carpet! Not good. Luckily, I didn’t… but I came up with another way to do this project just to be sure-

I decided to place an old sheet under the panel where I was working. Both are terribly wrinkly, but nothing is perfect during the process, is it??

I waited about an hour to make sure the glue was secure to the panels. This stuff is amazing. It adhered so well and I could tell it wasn’t going anywhere. I decided to add a little fabric fusion to the top and bottom of the fringe, to prevent fraying. The lady at the store said I could stictch the edges to prevent fraying, but this girl doesn’t sew! So, the fusion will also work like a charm. I was too excited to wait until the next day to attach the panels to the curtain rings, so I went for it!

Next up, is painting the stair railing black! One of these days!  🙂 Oh, and of course adding drapery tie backs and steaming those panels. Is it ever done???

I kept putting off getting our chair slip cover dr I kept putting off getting our chair slip cover dry cleaned. A white slip cover shows everything and from daily use, it needed a refresh. I am so glad I finally did… it looks brand new. 😍 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #bhghome #hgtv #howyouhome
I need your vote! This beautiful bench recently ar I need your vote! This beautiful bench recently arrived. And while it was worth the wait, I’m wondering if this natural rattan colorway is right for the space. It might compete with the table top stain a bit too much. I am waiting on a different rattan swatch that has more of a driftwood gray color to it. We’ll see if that is a better match. What do you think of this one so far?! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful
