I have attached the rod-grabbers to the lining of the valance, and hung it up to see how it looks. I am, at this point, regretting not getting a lining that was more in line with the color of the valance.
But things seem to be fine.
Laying out the official material and positioning the birds.
Then I got distracted by the bonus project, which is to take the additional birds and make decorative diamonds. I had enough material to add a matching diamond to each bird. These will eventually be wall decor.
