Christmas Mantel

Hi Everyone!  We hope everyone is having a great week! 

Today we wanted to share one of Denise's Christmas Mantels.   She came up with some great ideas this year.  She used some different picture frames to create a very different and unique look.

 

 

 

You can see that she put a wreath on one of the frames, a deer in one, and a swag on the last.  She added burlap bows to two of them and a green satin bow to break up the colors.

 

 

I love this swag.  She used different cedar and put a berry pic in the middle to add some color.

 

 

She tied a bow around a battery operated candle, and made a small center piece for the candle.  She started with a cedar candle ring and added some pine pics around it to make it fuller and cascade down the mantel.

 

 

I thought putting the deer in the picture frame was such a good idea!  I love how it turned out and I think I will steal this idea sometime soon! :)

 

 

I also love how the deer matches the picture frame! (she says this is just luck!)

 

 

Here she wrapped burlap ribbon around a small tree.

 

 

On the bottom of the mantel she added some tall sticks and wrapped it in a piece of burlap and added a bow.  She used a lot of natural cedar and pine.  She decorated the lantern simply by placing a piece of natural cedar on top.

 

 

 

 

  She used a moss sheet under the burlap baskets, deer, and lanterns to create a natural look.

 

 

 Putting a burlap bow with a piece of pine on the deer make them show up nicely.

 

Thanks everyone for stopping by!  We still have more to show.  Hopefully we will get most of it on before it is all over! :)
