Love your tutorials, how would I figure out the measurements if I would like to make 3 swags thanks you

[@doablediydecor]

The easiest way is, using some cord, drape it like you would like to drape your swags. Meaeasure how much cord you use in inches, then divide by 36 to get how many yards of fabric to buy.

Hi what if I want to used more than one swag how do I measure that plz

[@doablediydecor]

Thanks for watching! How many swags are you thinking of using? It is usually advisable to use odd numbers. I am thinking I will let your question be my next lesson and let you know when it's up, hopefully within a week. How is that?

[@doablediydecor]

Are you planning on draping the fabric over the rod and anchor with velcro or are you thinking of rod pocket swags, where the rod actually goes through the pocket/tunnel top?
