Chanukah Mantelpiece Designs

Our family made a controversial change from celebrating Christmas to celebrating Chanukah about 12 year ago. To be truthful, I have missed the design joy in decorating a Christmas tree. So I channeled that creativity in a new direction. My home has two mantelpieces, and both are decorated for Chanukah. The front room stays the same to keep family traditions going, but the family room changes depending on my whim!
Enjoyed the project?

Trina H on Dec 06, 2012Just a tip if you are recreating a similar look that involves candles.... I protect the material draped on the mantel with clear glass tiles that can be purchased at Big Lots in the candle section. They come in 8" and 12" sizes and are only about $2 or $3 each. Choose the size depending on the depth of the mantel, and buy enough according to the width of the mantel to lay them end to end with no gaps. The beauty of the fabric shows through, but the fabric is protected from wax drips and the fire hazard is reduced.
