Halloween Mantle 2011 – TN Mantle Hop!

October 7, 2011 By: Michele McDonald6 Comments

Welcome to the first ever Tennessee Mantle Hop!
We Tennessee bloggers love to decorate our mantles for the various seasons and holidays so we’ve decided to have a little blog hop to show them off to you.
If you’re just now joining in the hop, be sure you visit Gina’s blog, The Shabby Creek Cottage, for her fun Halloween mantle.
And if you’re new to The Scrap Shoppe, welcome and I would love to have you stay a bit and have a look around before moving on with the hop!
I decided to go with a purple/black/silver/with a hint of orange color scheme for my Halloween mantle this year.
A majority of the items on my mantle are new projects that I made this year.
I’ll give you a break down of them soon as well as show you where you can find tutorials for the projects.
Let’s zoom in a little bit to see a close up of the 3 sections of the mantle.
I got a little sneaky in my decor by using some nontraditional items to aid in my decorating.
On the left side of the mantle, I used a glass candlestick to raise my hurricane glass and provide some height (the candlestick and hurricane are not attached to one another, but I made sure the setup was plenty stable). I also used a small pillar candle for my black cat to stand on.
In the center of the mantle I actually set up two black kitchen trivets behind my silver pumpkin.
On the right side of the mantle, I used a mercury glass votive holder to raise my witch candleholder up so she would be able to be seen above the leaf garland.
List of projects and items on the mantle:
1. Spooky candelabra plaque
2. Hurricane glass: the witch is a candle that actually has sentimental value. I inherited her from my mom’s Halloween stash. We’ve been together for every Halloween for as long as I can remember! I propped her up on an orange glittery pumpkin. I also cut vinyl bats with my Silhouette and stuck them all around the hurricane.
3. Spooky Spider Web Pumpkin
(you won’t believe what this is made from!)
4. Framed skull
5. Silver pumpkin and candlestick
6. I found the glass bottle for my potions at the flea market. I didn’t even bother to clean them up! I love the old dirty look they have. I found some great potion printables here and attached them to the glass with Mod Podge.
7. One Hour Broom Parking Plaque
Printable found here.
8. Witchy Silhouette Plaque
9. Chalkboard Pumpkin Topiary
10. Spider Web Doily Bunting
11. Halloween/Fall Reversible Garland
I really love how it all came together!
The different banners with the leaves… just so much texture! Which is always good to have in my opinion.
Maybe next year I can figure out a way to disguise that television…
And lastly, I leave you with a little spooky mood lighting for the Halloween mantle.
This string of lights actually has a greenish-yellow tint to them. Very eerie! 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by for the Mantle Hop!
