Happy Halloween


I thought I would share my Halloween decorated mantle in our family room.  I used a few things I have made over the last few years and a collection of old books and candles.  It came together quick and easy.  

I started with a black and burgundy feather wreath which I purchased several years ago from Target.  I layered a rosette wreath that I made that year from 2010 Stampin' Up! DSP which I can't remember the name.

I continued with the small vintage books, a few candlesticks, and then cheapy Dollar Tree glitter skulls.  I rummaged through my cupboard for any green, purple, and orange pillar candles for pops of color to frame out my black crow on a skull.  

To finish it all off I draped clunky chains, which I also found at the Dollar Tree, a couple garlands, and purple miniature lights.  The "boo" garland is one I made three years, maybe four years ago with Stampin' Up! products.


I truly love dreaming up and crafting Halloween decorations.  I have lots of them and it's so much fun to change it up each year and mix and match.  Truth be told I was looking for all the cool things I made last year because they would blend perfectly with all the Howlstooth and Scaringbone creations I made this year, but could not find them.  I'll find them next year and will have fun mixing it up a bit from this year.

  3. Fabulous, Elizabeth! I wish I had a mantle to decorate like this. I love all of the elements. I have the most fun decorating. This year at home I'm focusing on two vignettes, so there's a great concentration of decoration in those areas and not all over. It makes it easier to change decorations too.

    Hugs,
