DIY Christmas Mantel Decor
What started as a simple knitted snowflake and some tipsy wine pines for hostess gifts, turned into a full blown Christmas Mantel. After knitting the snowflake and tiny pines, I wondered how hard it would be to do an i-cord swag with a little snowflake like embellishments. Not so hard, as it turns out, and sewing beads into the flakes was easy and dramatic.

DIY Christmas Mantel Decor
What started as a simple knitted snowflake and some tipsy wine pines for hostess gifts, turned into a full blown Christmas Mantel. After knitting the snowflake and tiny pines, I wondered how hard it would be to do an i-cord swag with a little snowflake like embellishments.

The Finished Mantel with fresh cut balsam, white pine and cedar.
Swag detail with beads sewn into the stars.
Once the tiny pines were completed I couldn’t help but wonder how they would look in larger sizes and with beads. Here are a few I put together. You can use almost any yarn in any color palette and make a forest of these little cable trees to use in your home decor.
Bigger knit Christmas Tree to show scale. This is really a fun and easy project that mixes natural materials with fun yarns.

this is so simple in concept and so elegant of a finished product . I love it . Very holiday feeling with out the sugary candy-fied commercial look some store bought decorations bring .... Very Classy
