I have been having so much fun decorating my home for Christmas.
Today I am going to share my Winter Wonderland mantel with you.
It all started with these stick stars I made . . . . and I made lot’s of them! I put a few of them on my mantel and the rest on my Christmas tree. I’ll share how to make them with ya soon.
I originally had a bunch more of the stick stars on my mantel, some that were really large, but I just wasn’t feeling it, so I took them all down and started over.
I also made a couple garlands. One with plastic snowflakes and the other with pine cones. I threaded some twine through the snowflakes and tied the pine cones onto the twine on the other.
I love the whimsy look they give.
I have been collecting pine cones all year. Every time we go camping or to anywhere that has a ton of big pine cones, I usually always bring a bag full home. I filled up my crate with them here.
I had a lot of fun with these plastic snowflakes, I have them hanging all over the house.
I brought in a wreath, tied it up with a smaller berry wreath and a plaid bow, then I hung it on an old window.
I brought in some logs to use as candle holders, you may remember I had these on my Christmas mantel last year, I like the added warmth they bring in.
And then I went crazy making Waterless Snow globes. I just took old jars, dollar store tree’s, and a bag of super-fine crystal fake snow and assembled them using hot glue.
I placed them at various heights using some white candle holders.
Then I also sprinkled some fluffy fake snow here and there on my mantel.
Here is a little sneak peak at the rest of the room.
I can’t wait to share that with ya next time.
Enjoy the Season!
