Find yourself a lumber store where they will cut it to your specifications. Draw you design with measurements, then make a list of the lengths and width lumber needed.
FYI I am making this up while thinking about your project, so no real experience with this.
I thought about picture frames. I don't know the size of your radiator but can you get a picture frame that is 5" taller and 6" wider than your radiator? Then get two picture frames (or mirror frames) that are 5" taller than the radiator and 3" wider than your radiator's depth. Then get a frame that is the length of the front frame and the depth of the side frames.
Use tiny L brackets to attach pieces to make a sort of box. Put the expanded metal panels in your frames and paint the whole thing.
Hopefully that gives you a more realistic idea that fits your actual radiator and space.

As in "no-sewing "OR "no cutting".?..?
Find an appropriately-sized used? bookcase. Knock off the back. Buy radiator grating, or chicken wire if it suits your decor and nail or staple it on.
Get trim at HD and ask them to cut to size and nail it over your mesh.
Paint to suit.
You could also use “small” square wood lattice for a more formal look. Again, HD or Lowe’s would cut to size.
Measure the space around the rad. Draw out your design on paper, mark the size and number of the wood pieces you will need on your drawing. Have the pieces cut for you at Lowes or Home Depot. After you construct the frame you will need to insert some metal grill (thin, flexible,open screen) it can be costly so plan well. If you don't want to cut that either, then know ahead of the build what sizes are available and build accordingly.
