How to Decorate a Mirror Frame With Branches

Sometimes the most effective types of decor are the simplest. For example, if you have a plain or understated framed mirror, you don't need to go all-out painting, stenciling and gluing rhinestones and other adornments onto the frame to spruce it up. Using simple types of decor, particularly straight from nature, can add an organic quality to the mirror frame and to the entire room as well. You don't need to be a professional carpenter or designer to do so.

     Measure the length and width of the mirror frame. Trim down four branches with a saw to match the dimensions that you wrote down.

     Place a branch on the side of the frame that matches its size. Hammer in the branches in place with a 2 inch nail at the far end of each branch.

     Arrange smaller twigs and sticks around the branches of the frame, adjusting them until they take an arrangement that you like.
