HOW TO STYLE A FALL MANTLE

BAER DESIGN STUDIO - Mantle Makeover

This was the first time that I used a pool noodle to attach the foliage to my mantle. Normally, I decorate my mantle top first and add the foliage at the end. This year, I’m starting with my foliage first, and then I will continue decorating the rest of my mantle next week.

This was unbelievably easy! I just used a serrated knife to cut a slit in the noodle and then just opened up the noodle and it clamped right onto the mantle.

Next, I just took the stems of the dried foliage and stuck them right into the noodle. All the other items, I hot glued down directly onto the noodle.

I used Sola wood flowers I had left over from another project. Lastly, I just tore apart an old fall garland and hot glued the leaves directly onto the noodle. I really didn’t want to spend a lot on my mantle so I just used items I had in my fall storage bins. I just spent $1.25 on the pool noodle.

My goal is to just slide the whole arrangement off at the end of the season and store it as a long tube. Then I will slide it back onto the mantle next year.
