Petal Valance

Posted in valances


petal valance

A petal valance is a series of flaps overlapping each other to create a unique look.  By using two coordinating fabrics you enhance the uniqueness.  Piping along the top edge and covered buttons add a finishing touch.  This petal valance is mounted on a board many inches above the window frame adding visual height to the room.

    Hi
    I was wondering if you sell this valance that Lydia chose or if you have the pattern to make them or if you know where I can purchase them.
    Thanks

    I love this valance. Do you offer instructions? Give any advice?

    Thanks!

    This valance is also known as a “Petal Valance”. Each petal is made individually, then overlapped together on a mounting board. and embellished with covered buttons. I’ll be posting a HOW TO blog post in the near future but feel free to contact me with your dimensions and I’ll walk you through it.

    what is this valance hung from? rod or wood? It is a great idea.

  • Susan DorbeckOctober 19, 2012 - 8:46 am

    Hi Doris, Thanks for your kind remarks. This “petal valance is hung on a piece of wood. I have used hook and loop tape to attach it to the wood for easy installation and cleaning but it can also be stapled on.

    Hi Susan,

    I am just finishing a major remodel of my kitchen and am ready for valances. I love this petal valance! are you going to be posting instructions for this soon. I am sure I can make this (with the help of my girlfriend). The fabric I have chosen has a floral and a cordinating stripe pattern that I think will work just fine.

    Thank you for sharing you ideas with us.

  • Susan DorbeckNovember 1, 2012 - 12:03 pm

    Hi Patty, Thanks for your kind remarks, I will be in touch via email.

    Hi Susan,
    I too love this valance and would love to buy the pattern to make it and also directions for hanging.
    I have two windows – 72″ and 52″ wide including molding. You mentioned you hung the valance on wood. What are the dimensions, including thickness, of the wood and how is it attached to the wall? Are there wood blocks on each end of the wood to attach it?
    Thank you so much for sharing this.

    I just discovered your petal valance. Would it be possible for you to email me instructions on how to sew them. They would look great in my breakfast room. The length of my existing valance is 73 inches.
    Thank you so much!

  • Norma HoneyMarch 5, 2013 - 1:47 pm

    Love this! Gonna do it in my master bedroom. Just curious, are the coordinating underneath petals the same size the the top petals? Since I don’t have a pattern, think I’ll take an oval kitchen platter and improvise.
    Thanks for sharing:)

    Your unique petal valance with covered buttons is perfect for my bathroom. I want to embroider seashells on the top three or four petals with coordinating fabric on the bottom petals. My wood valance is 29″ across with a 4″ side (sticks out from the wall 4″) I do sew quie a bit but am hesitant to tackle this without instructions. Can you share instructions or guide me to a website with directions?

    Thanks! You have some lovely designs!

    I want to make the petal valance but am considering attaching a rod pocket to the top and using a flat 2 1/2″ rod. Where would I find your blog on how to make these? I am going to use the darker color for the back petals and the rod pocket. What do you think?

  • Brenda BaroneApril 14, 2014 - 11:22 am

    Hi Susan,
    Your valance is perfect for my family room. Can you share you pattern or give me guidance on where to find a similar pattern? My windows are 72″ and 42 1/2″ wide. I already have the valance boards. Thanks for the design!

    Thanks so much. I know this will look amazing.

  • CalaApril 28, 2014 - 9:30 am

    I would like the instructions for your petal valance. My window treatment is 80″ wide and I would like it 18″ long. Would this pattern work well with a large floral print with a horizontal repeat of 27.25?

    I have looked at this petal valance with buttons for 2 years. I have tried to find a valance for our kitchen but I keep going back to this. Kitchen is yellows and blues. Would appreciate instructions on how to make this. If you have a pattern I would like to purchase.
    thanks

  • Dania PowersNovember 14, 2015 - 2:40 pm

    If I gave you measurements would you be able to make panel valence for me? What would you charge?
    Thanks
    Dania Powers

  • lynneNovember 27, 2015 - 2:52 pm

    On the petal valence, did you lay the fabric over the covered board? Did you attach piping along the top? I love it and can’t wait to create.

  • Susan DorbeckNovember 27, 2015 - 5:30 pm

    I pinned and sewed all the petals together then sewed on the piping. Once this was done I sewed loop tape to the seam allowance of the piping and stapled hook tape onto my board making it easy to install and/or remove the valance. You could also staple it directly onto the board.

  • Susan DorbeckNovember 27, 2015 - 5:31 pm

    By all means, please send me your measurements along with a picture of your window and we’ll go from there. Costs depend on size of window, fabric, install etc.

  • Betty SellsDecember 14, 2015 - 6:23 pm

    I would love to receive the pattern to make this valance. I have a double window over the kitchen sink (72″ wide) and two separate windows (36″ wide) in our bathroom.

    I have been staring at these windows since we purchased this home two years ago and believe this style would be perfect!

  • Kris ANSTANDIGFebruary 3, 2016 - 6:29 pm

    I love the petal window treatment! Could you please send me directions? I it is for a large window, about 9′ long.
