bedroom window treatments ideas please

[Ninip]

Hi Everyone
Need ideas please. I am redoing my master bedroom. Painting and new bedding.
A totally new look. Our house is about 30 yrs old and has a large window
approx. 8' wide by about 4' tall. There is a wall to wall drywall (painted
same color as walls) valance. underneath the valance is a drapery track for
pinch pleated drapes. I hope you all know what I am talking about(old style
house). My problem is Pinch Pleated drapes are hard to find now adays. I
want new window treatments for my room but not to the floor because of hot
water heat radiator running along on that wall. I also have white mini
blinds on the windows. But I want curtains too because I like my room dark
at night. Is there any way to decorate my window if I can't find pinch
pleated drapes? Please help, I am not very creative. Thanks in advance

I saw on HGTV, I think, an easy way to make pinch pleated drapes
WITHOUT sewing. I wonder if they would have it on their site.

I can't get it to come up right now, but I did a google search
with "Make pinch pleat drapes without sewing"

and "No sew Pinch Pleat drapes"

It's a shame I can't get this up at the moment, either. It's
worth a try later, though.
