Just tuck the tails in artfully? I can understand why you do not want the tails hanging down by the front door window. Maybe a cornice board with the fabric draped over that?
make the scarf/swag yourself. Try using an old sheet to get the right size then just cut and hem the fabric
Most of the patterns I have used the two end pieces are separate from the center swag. Here is a center swag.... http://www.drapesmadeeasy.com/swag-patterns.html
McCall's patterns or Butterick patterns. These are sewing patterns and both have a large variety of home decor patterns.
Try the pattern books at your local fabric shop.
The tails are called jabots or cascades.
I remember using a board a little longer than the window and stapled the fabric around it, like wrapping a present. I did the middle 1/3 , and only 1 or 2 staples for the rest, just to tack it in place. It hung down like a rectangle with sides. Then I gathered each side pleating the fabric one pleat at a time, and stapling it. I remember tweaking the pleats until it sat right. I don't have a picture. It looked a bit like this valance without the jabots.
