Hey there, festive friends! It’s 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 obsessed with this year’s Christmas Mantel. It turned out amazing!
I have joined a fabulous group of ladies from Amazing Creators “Merry & Bright” Christmas blog hop to give us wonderful Christmas inspirations! I hope you follow the links at the bottom of this page.
Normally with home decor, I prefer a “less is more” approach. However, this changes 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
–Glass or shatterproof 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!

absolutely beautiful. I’ve seen using chicken wire as well for a mantel. Wish I had known this back when I had a mantel. Your decorating is stunning.

Thank you! It is a great way to create a full look on the mantel… You just have to protect your hands with gloves.
