The frames of these rectangular mirrors are smartly outfitted in midnight-blue velvet ribbon. Lined up next to one another and hung above a buffet, they add sophistication and catch the light in the room.
Velvet Ribbon How-To
Use a wooden frame and velvet ribbon a bit wider than the frame's width.
1. Make a paper template of one of the frame's sides, mimicking the mitered corners.
2. Paint frame's inner and outer edges in a color similar to that of the ribbon. Cut ribbon slightly longer than the template, and then iron on strips of fusing to the back of the ribbon.
3. With a pencil, trace template onto fusing. Cut out. Repeat for other three sides. Place each ribbon, fusing side down, on frame; with a towel on top, iron on a low setting to adhere.
thank you so much Danou for the tip about zooming in and out. Like that a lot.

Fabulous idea, and yet another time I've wished the site provided much larger photos -- I have to imagine it looks lovely, because the pics provide no detail!
very pretty! great way to vamp up old frames or mirrors too.
