"To start our window valance, we're going to start by marking our board where, with the placement of the strands of beads. First, we want to mark the center of the length of the board, and we're using a one and a half inch board so we want to measure three quarter inch in a few spots going down the length of the board, and then just place your ruler or your tape measure on those markings and draw a line down the center of the board. Next, you want to mark the placement of the strands. So the first strand is going to be set about half an inch in and just draw a line there. And then measure your interval. I'm using a three inch interval and I'll just mark every three inch. And then I'll go back and make a line at each marking."
