Cozy Christmas Vibes: My best Christmas Mantel Decor Yet

Hey there, festive friends! Time to crank up the holiday tunes, sip on some hot cocoa, and, of course, sprinkle a bit of Christmas magic around the house. Today, I’m excited to share my absolute favorite and best Christmas mantel decor yet!

As much as I loved our last year’s Christmas mantel, I am totally obsessed with how this year’s Christmas Mantel turned out!

Normally with home decor, I am a bit like “less is more” type of person, but not when it comes to Christmas… More the merrier!

Christmas time is when I can let loose and create. I wanted to give the mantel a nature inspired vibe this year.

How I created my nature inspired Mantel

We started out with attaching a steel hardware cloth to the mantel. It created the base for all the beautiful nature inspired goodies I wanted to add. First, I cut 1 ft. by 5ft long hardware cloth and secured it to the top of the mantel with screws and fold it over the mantel.

This year I went wild with greenery. I love to combine whimsy and nature to my Christmas decor. I added a Pre-lit 9′ thick garland and doubled it along the steel cloth by attaching it with trim ties. These trim ties are great because they blend in with the greenery. I created an asymmetrical design with the garland to give it a different look.

Then I added all the beautiful stems, pine cones, stray twigs from my real Christmas tree.

After all the greenery was placed, I added few ornament. I found these paper pine cone ornaments at the Dollar Tree. Then added a little owl and beautiful bird perched on top of the mantel. I added the stained glass ornaments I made with Alcohol ink.

Let’s face it, no Christmas setup is complete without a touch of sparkle, so I sprinkled a few small gold ornament and a few pearl sprigs to jazz it up.

Lastly, I hooked our furry grey stocking right onto the mesh to complete the beautiful mantel.

Here’s all the supplies you’ll need for the Christmas Mantel Decor:

-Steel Hardware Cloth or heavy gauge chicken wire

–9 ft. Christmas garland

–Trim ties

–Glass or shatterproof ornaments

-Faux real to touch stems

–Eucalyptus stems

-Gold ornaments

And there you have it – my favorite Christmas mantel decor to date! It’s the kind of cozy that makes you want to hibernate until spring. So, grab a cup of cocoa, put on your favorite Christmas music and let the holiday vibes take over. After all, ’tis the season to be jolly!
