Halloween Mantel 2014

 Good morning ! Last night I worked on the mantel for Halloween ..

I made a banner with book pages and letters cut on my Cricut . I just freehanded the banner shapes and cut 3 pages for each pennant, hot glued them together and then used mod podge on the top of them and to hold the silver glitter on the edges. I punched a hole into the top of each pennant then used ribbon to tie it to tulle ribbon .

 I got the crows at the Dollar Tree store, and also that black drapey scary looking cloth under the banner. I used a branch from a tree in our yard to lay across the mantel for a crow to sit on.

 It even looks good in black and white :)

 Some of the crows hanging out ...I used off white sweater pumpkins to place the crows on..

 My daughter had bought this frame at a flea market this summer for $5.00.. She has been working alot and hadn't got a board cut for it so I asked if I could borrow it for my Halloween mantel . It's a big frame.. the opening is 16 x 24..I got a piece of mdf cut at Home Depot for the inside and painted it with chalkboard paint. So its a win win for both of us ! I get to borrow it and she got her chalkboard :)

 I left the leaf garlands from the Fall mantel and there are white lights added in..

 Crows , an owl and sweater pumpkins..The glitter pumpkins are from Walmart ..I used those in the Fall mantel also ..
