Day 7: Halloween Mantle (Mantel?)

I’ve been promising my big spooky mantel reveal all week long – and today is finally the big day! We started with the elements on Monday…

Ghostly Gallery DIY and Crooked Frames Halloween Mantle And here’s all of it put together!

Halloween Decor I added in a couple of Dollar Tree black birds & some gauzy cloth (2 of each). Someone asked where I get my candles – Big Lots has the 4 inch in a four pack for $6 – but I know they have larger ones, too. They’re the best color and shape I’ve found (I’m not a big fan of Dollar Tree candles).

Halloween Decorating Ideas And some curly moss for a little more spookiness!

Halloween Mantel I think this may be my favorite mantle yet! The best part was the grand total - $15 ($2 for birds, $2 for gauzy cloth, $1 for book, $10 frames – everything else was on hand). Gotta keep the costs down, ya know!
