Shaped pelmets

I was having a browse through the M'Fay site last night. Has anyone made a pelmet like this?

I think it's fantastic.

What do you think?

Hi Jules,

This facinated me when I first saw it last year. I haven't made one like this yet, but I'm working on it. It's made with a special bendy ply available in America, and I think it only comes in short depths. I think maybe the ply could be swapped with the mdf that can be bought over here which has grooves cut in it, making it bendable!

Thanks Bev,

I did wonder about using the MDF. I've seen it in B&Q and it fascinated me. Knew it might come in for something one day.

Maybe I could push someone to have one so I could practise on them!

Re: Shaped pelmets

Could u not make same using buckram on a shaped pelmet board?

Hi Maira,

I would imagine you could use buckram, but I would use something more solid to get a better finish.
