I was very inspired by this pelmet box tutorial at Little Green Notebook. I'm impressed with how little effort it took her because it took me from 5:00pm to 1:00am last night to put my own together (but totally worth it!) . So kudos to her!
Here are the BEFORE pictures of my windows.
I was going to use ribbon to accent the box like she did, but I didn't realize (or look at) how much ribbon is actually on a roll. I ended up with 9 feet of ribbon and needed approximately 28 feet. Needless to say, I was a little short!
But necessity is truly the mother of invention, I thought maybe I'd use a marker to outline the pattern I wanted but when I touched the marker to a test piece of fabric it bled all over the place. Till I figured out that black spray paint would work ( have I mentioned how much I love spray paint because I really do!) So I taped out the design I wanted.
Here are the AFTER pictures of my windows. Yes they are night pictures, because it was 1am when I finished!
I love how they turned out, I think they really add to my living room and finish off my windows perfectly!

Wow that looks great!!! What did you use to make your pelmet box?? Where did you buy the material to make it again? You're so creative and it took only a few hours? Amazing look!
