The materials needed to construct your own window cornice board are quite inexpensive. A lower-quality sheet of plywood is fine since the cornice board will be covered with wallpaper and the finish will not show. Some construction sites might even have scrap plywood available at no cost. Look for sales on wallpaper and paint.

Materials Needed for Cornice Board

• 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick Plywood
• Wood Glue

• Small Finishing Nails
• Sand Paper
• Small Can of Paint, Foam Paintbrush
• 7-inch-wide Roll Wallpaper Border
• "L" Brackets
