How to Decorate Your Mantel for Spring
I have been looking forward to this post on our spring mantel. With each passing season, I enjoy changing out my mantel. It gets me in the mood for the new season and becomes a focal point in our home. This season was no exception. I used my Spring Bird's Nest Wreath as inspiration for a “themed” mantel this time around. Here is the tutorial on how I put together this easy spring wreath, here.
Using birds as my inspiration, I gathered two antique prints that I bought last year at an antique store, a bird's nest from Michaels with speckled eggs, and my favorite little birdies which were a long ago purchase at Home Goods. These paired with my layered mirrors, wreath and candlesticks created a very light and mantel scape; perfect for spring.
HOW TO DECORATE YOUR MANTEL FOR SPRING
The EASTER garland was a project I put together last year using my Silhouette machine. I used book pages {one of my favorite decor go-to's!} from a thrift store book to layer with vinyl circles and a bunny cut out. I strung the circles along a piece of twine and attached it to my mantel. You can see last year's spring mantel, here. I love that the garland adds just a touch of Easter and blends well with my current theme and color scheme. When Easter has passed, I can just take it down and I don't have to redo the whole mantel.
What ideas are you using for your spring mantel?
