style editor Lauren Petroff shares exactly how to transform a mirror with a Georgian-inspired wreath overlay. 
’Tis the season to add holiday style to your home. I like embellishing with wreaths indoors, as well as this is elegant sufficient to be hung anywhere from the front hall to the dining room. My take breaks away from the generic circular shape as well as riffs on Georgian-style mirrors with broken-scroll pediments for a stately, old world look. It’s the perfect method to welcome visiting household as well as friends.

This wire-framed wreath attaches to a rectangular mirror with temporary hooks as well as is simple to eliminate when the holidays are over.

You’ll requirement a mirror, pliable metal fit together (I utilized 1⁄4″-wide mesh), security gloves, cable cutters, cedar as well as bay branches, floral wire, 3M Command hooks, ruler, indelible marker, garden pruners, orchids as well as berries.

Measure your mirror’s height and width, including frame. add 4″ to the width so you’ll have a 2″ allowance on each side (so cable fit together can wrap around edges of mirror). add a 2″ allowance at the bottom, as well as a 10″ allowance to the top for the decorative shape. Sketch these measurements onto the fit together with an indelible marker as well as free-hand the broken-scroll pediment shape at the top. cut out the shape with cable cutters.

Cut the center section from the fit together so that the mirror itself is not covered in mesh. when the fit together has been cut, put on security gloves, as well as curl the fit together inward. This way, it will hug the edges as well as look three-dimensional without scratching the mirror frame.

Make two loops out of floral cable as well as connect them to the back side of the fit together frame in each of the top corners. These will be utilized to hook the wreath onto the frame of the mirror.

Form little bunches of cedar as well as bay leaves, as well as tie them together utilizing floral wire. Make sufficient to cover the cable mesh. This is time-consuming however will accomplish more fullness. For a shortcut, try wrapping a cedar garland around the fit together instead.

Using the ends of the cable utilized to produce the greenery bunches, fasten each lot onto the fit together frame, building up thickness as you go. For a neat look, make sure all bunches deal with the exact same direction. Repeat up until the cable fit together is covered as well as the wreath looks nice as well as full.

Attach a 3M Command hook to every upper corner of the mirror frame to ensure that they will line up with the places of the cable loops from step 3. Hook the completed wreath frame onto the mirror utilizing the cable loops. connect floral embellishments like orchids as well as berries with floral cable for a seasonal touch as well as enjoy!
