sed/awk how to add to the matched strings

I have text file which contains lines as mentioned below

<property>PASSWORD_X_1</property>
<property>PASSWORD_A_2</property>
<property>PASSWORD_B_6</property>

so on so forth..

Now i am looking to change the lines to:

<property>{PASSWORD_X_1}</property>
<property>{PASSWORD_A_2}</property>
<property>{PASSWORD_B_6}</property>

I could change the initial "{" using simple sed expression:

sed -e '/PASSWORD/{PASSWORD/g'

Not able to figure out how do i append the "}" character.

Any suggestions..?
