Mantles- I love them!

I currently have a mantle and I LOVE decorating it!  Yes, it's always basically the same with the fabulous FREE subway art from Eighteen 25 and a few random do-dads here and there, but it's still fun!  I love the color-your-own-vase idea I got from here. I've done it several times now! It's so great cause you can just choose any color you want and color an old vase you have sitting under your sink or a $0.70 second-hand one.

ST. PATTY'S DAY

 

 

EASTER/SPRING

BIRTHDAY'S

This is the first pennant banner I've made and, man alive, it was easy!

Tutorial for how I made this one here. I was using scrap materials that I had on hand, so mine were about 4 in across the top and 5 1/4 in long.  It really was fast, easy, and fun!

 

As for the mantle, we're moving to a home that doesn't have one.  So, I'm planning on making one similar to my friend Nikki's over here.
