I “Fell into Fall” Mantel

October 11, 2012 By Meegan 10 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′]

We don’t have many little kiddos nearby who come over, so I wasn’t sure if I was even going to do any decorating for Halloween. With seeing all the cute and fun ideas around, I hopped on the bandwagon.   After gathering my Fall accessories I put together my: I “Fell into Fall” Mantel

Some of the items have sentimental value.  The “Happy Halloween” can was made our youngest son when he was in Cub Scouts.  Now he will be married in just a few weeks.

Isn’t the pumpkin so awesome????  I made it last year after a visit to Pottery Barn.  I KNEW I needed one!  I found a fake pumpkin (of course).  Painted it white.  Let that dry, then mod podged old book pages to it.  After 3 coats of mod podge, I let her dry for a few days.  I then sprayed silver glitter all over for a more expensive, stylish look.  The “trunk” is just stick I found outside.  I added a little green moss around the top, for a finished look.

Here is a closer look of this beauty!!

I also made the BOO sign last year.  I copied it, cut it out, then glued it onto black ribbon.  With glitter puffy paints, I outlined the letters.  So fun!!  The owl is from Target in the dollar section-score!

My hubby bought me the candy corn wreath, because I LOVE candy corn SO much!  I think the bat is cute, too.  The bear was a gift from a friend.  Don’t you just think she looks cute with her witch hat and collar??

This is a view along with my Fall Paper Decor.  Yep, I finally decorated my “Fell into Fall” Mantel.

Make it a wonderful Thursday!!
