Simple Halloween Mantel

Would you believe that I never had a Halloween mantel before? I am the person that decks out our mantel for every other holiday and season of the year ( you can see all those mantels here) but have yet to decorate one for Halloween. Well, this year I wanted to be the house with the giant blow up pumpkin in my yard, the mom who dresses up in costume for her kids Halloween parade at 12 in the afternoon just to cheer them on, the house where even the dog is in costume. So I started small with a Halloween mantel :).
Because, this is the year 2, (TWO) of my kids have decided not to go trick or treating.   “Mom, we are too old,” they said.  Wait, What?!!!
So... I surprised the kids with a Halloween mantel.  All 4 of them noticed and smiled :).  It even inspired my two littles to make a few SPOOKY bats of their own for their rooms.
The bats made with black construction paper, chalk and scissors.
I went with a white, black and orange color scheme.  Super simple :). To see more pictures of our Halloween mantel as well as lots of Halloween ideas from my friends click on my blog link below.
