Halloween Mantle... Over My Huge Fireplace!

I was a little overwhelmed with how to decorate this huge fireplace!
It is so large in scale I had to start from scratch and just go big!
I share my whole process on my blog.
Here it is! I started over the mantle with the need of a large focal point.


This spider is the biggest I have, but alone would not have impact.


I used an empty frame and some cardboard, that I painted and striped, to give him a backdrop.
The cardboard was a lightweight, easy, temporary solution.
I got these trees on Christmas clearance last year... they are now officially my Halloween trees!
I layered ribbon mesh, leaf garland, pumpkins, sprigs and crows to create this mantle.
And here is a close up of that spider!


I'd love you to stop by and visit... get the full effect!


I certainly have more confidence that I can enjoy decorating my new mantle!
