When my sis moved into her new house I decided to make her something vs. helping her move. Since I myself was moving a few weeks later I didn't want to help her move, so the deal was I don't help her, she doesn't help me. I shot myself in the foot on that one! So this is what I made her: a cornice board for her window. I wanted to try to make one and it was super easy and fun and came out nice. I will make more, I will. The total cost for this was about $30 and they sell on line for hundreds of dollars.
Measure your window and have a piece of wood cut a few inches longer. Depending how far off the window you want it to stick out, have two side pieces of wood cut for the sides. Take some wood glue and glue the two side pieces on then take small L brackets and screw them in to secure the sides to the main panel.
Buy some batting from the craft store and spray adhesive. Spray the crap out of the wood and cover with batting. Pick a pretty fabric and cover your board, pulling it tight and staple gun it all around, making it look neat and tight.
Screw large L brackets above window and hang your cornice! Easy, breezy, beautiful.
