How to decorate a Mantel for Christmas

I am so excited to finally show everyone my Mantel this year. I am loving it soooooo much!! To start I am knew that I wanted a moose from The White Faux Taxidermy They have such amazing stuff at a great price. I also wanting to do something different for my “Christmas Moose.” With that in mind, I painted his antlers red using Krylon Red Spray Paint then I used my Silhouette Machine to cut out these cute dots with white vinyl. The dots are about an inch and a half.

When I decorate my mantel I always like to have a focus point and I knew my moose would be the prefect centerpiece.

Good Garland is always hard to find and I was lucky enough to get this garland from my mom. I got the lights from an antique store in Gilbert. They are the big bulb white lights and I do love them.

This year was the first time that I hung the garland like this. And I really do love it. This garland is really thick and I nailed 4 nails into the mantel. I hung the garland onto the nails.

The stockings are from Ballard Design. I got them a few years ago. I love the classic shape and style. The lit up joy letters are from Home Goods. I also got the cute nutcracker from there and this year I decided that I am going to start collecting nutcrackers. The sled is also from the antique store. I go the Santa bag from H & M last year. The final touch was the amazing lights! I love these soooo much! Guess what?!?!?! They were only $18 They were from Great American Warehouse I could not be more excited about these. After the holidays are over I want to hang the lights in my kitchen.

To continue with the Mantel theme, I joined with 14 top bloggers in the Christmas Mantel Blog Hop!
