Someone thinks hang the window scarves is difffcult. But if you know the skill of the hang window scarves, you will fingd it is very easy.
1. Begin with the right fabric, one that has a soft hand and flowing drape. It can be silk or satin or sheer or even a light weight chenille. It is important however that both sides are appealing; in the process of draping both the front and the back of the fabric could end up showing. That is why sheers are often used; both sides of a sheer look the same. If your fabric has a pattern, the direction of the print will change as you drape the scarf. In the case of a stripe or plaid they will appear on an angle on the swag and run vertically on the cascades. If the pattern includes an image like a tree, the tree could end up up-side down in places. It is a good idea to avoid patterns that have a direction.
2. Having the right size scarf is important. If it is too long it can be difficult to manage and end up looking sloppy; not enough fabric and it will look skimpy. To establish the length, first decide how many swags or loops you want to have. This is partially determined by the size of the window; a typical swag is 36 inches wide, however, it can be larger or smaller. Add the windows width plus how much fabric will hang down on each side plus 10 inches for each loop/swag. This will equal the finished length of fabric you need.
3. Use a fabric covered foam rod to simplify making beautiful swags. With a foam rod you can control the shape and size of the swags by pinning the fabric to the rod and securing each fold. Select a foam rod that is covered with a contrasting fabric to add more color or texture to your treatment Put the fabric on the rod, positioning the middle loop first. Place the center of the scarf over the center of the rod. Create soft folds and gently pull the fabric from the bottom of the loop while holding the top of the loop with your other hand.
Pin the scarf fabric to the rod to keep it from shifting as you continue to loop the fabric over the remaining rod . Stop when you get to the markers indicating the length of the cascades, this will ensure both sides are the desired length. Remove the tape markers and use a hand steamer to take out winkles.
If you follow the three tips ,you will hang the window scarves easily.
