I need to trim out an archway like this–would love the step-by-step directions.
You are inspiring!

While I don’t have the diy photos any longer for this archway (the tragic MAC hard drive crash of 2005), I do have other instructions that are similar.
If you poke around our DIY Molding Projects enough you’ll find all the basics for making this archway — it really is pretty simple once you are familiar with the concept of creating an mdf core and then wrapping it in moldings.
The fireplace mantel tutorial I’m going to start tomorrow has pilasters that are made in a similar fashion to these. The arch moldings are made by combining two pieces of Flex Trim, and the keystone I made from scraps.
