Over the weekend I finally finished my Fall “Mantel!” Now I use the term “mantel” loosely as the area I am referring to is the half-wall between the family room and playroom but “mantel” is just easier!
So here it is!!!
I wanted to do some more but I also need to start working on Halloween so that I can have all that done and ready to go by the end of September. So for this year this is all the Fall but this is a start! I am excited to have pretties sitting on the flat surface instead of stacks like usual. I truly hope this will keep me from stacking on this space, we will see.
Here is a break down of what is up and links to the projects either here on my blog or a link to the blog where I found the idea.
1. A FALL sign I made last year. Super easy just mod podge and leftover scrapbook paper.
4. Fall Frame
5. Fall Subway Art - Free download! (this is the only money I spent on the mantel, I paid for the printing, everything else was done from what I had on hand!)
6. Felt Leaves – I found these on Made, Dana has a great tutorial and they were super easy! I strung together 6 leaves to make a garland across the top. These will be on the only pretty “falling” leaves we will see here!
So there you go Fall Mantel is done! Thank you for this blog cause with the blog I actually followed through on the project and finished! Enjoy the pictures and I hope this inspires you to get some Fall into your home!
Comment, follow, find me on twitter or facebook! I love to meet y’all!
