Well it’s taken me a couple of tries but I’ve finally finished my fall mantel.
In my case, I really wanted the woody elements of the birch logs and candle holders so that’s what I started with and since it’s fall the pumpkins were a must have as well.
I wanted to mix some color in so I added the dried blue hydrangeas.
I also added my little decoupaged pumpkin to break up the whiteness of all the pumpkins.
Adding candle light to anything brings a lovely glow and a festive touch.
(The tutorial for the birch log is here and it’s probably best to use those little battery operated tea lights instead of the ones I have here, much safer!)
