Fun Fall Mantel/ Halloween Mantel

September 30, 2013 by Kayley Leave a Comment

Fall mantel

We just moved and I have to admit that one of the saddest things for me about leaving was having to take down my fall mantel.

I left it until the very last second. I mean, LITERALLY. It was the last thing I packed.

I’ve LOVED having a mantel to decorate and I will just have to do with out one for awhile.

Wreath-  I made the wreath by cutting out leaves from kraft paper and folding them in half.  Then I hot glued them to a foam wreath. Easy Peasy.

Pumpkins-  I bought cheap Walmart plastic pumpkins and spray painted them. Then I hand pained the arrow and herringbone designs on with some acrylic paint.

Bunting-  I followed this tutorial from ellaclaireinspired.com. Isn’t the printed burlap great?(from Joann’s, by the way)

Chalkboard-  I made this super cheap chalkboard(I’m talkin $2 cheap) with leftover plywood that I sanded and sprayed with chalkboard paint. The frame was made with leftover wood shims with a walnut stain. Chalkboard paint pen was used for the text(don’t look TOO closely, calligraphy is not my forte!) originally penned by the lovely Emily Bronte.

Goodbye, fall mantel.

I hope to meet you again next year.

Straight out of @evakosmasflores ‘s new book First We Eat, this is one of the most delicious desserts I have ever eaten(and I’ve eaten a lot of desserts 😳). If you haven’t picked up a copy of her book, you really should get on that. Every recipe is a beautiful combination of ingredients followed by an even more beautiful photo. Utter perfection, I tell you.
