I put up my Halloween mantel decor recently. I try to change it up every year with something different so it isn't the same old same old year after year. This year I strung the spiderweb material all over the mirror above the mantel to give it height so the rest of the decor didn't feel so small against the large mirror. I hooked in a few of the spiders that came with the webbing. They really do look real if you aren't expecting to see them!
I was snooping around Tuesday Morning this summer and came across a witch's hat in the 80% off section so it came home with me that day. I love that new addition because it has built in lights that have two settings, flashing and not flashing. I really didn't think that would work when I bought it because of it being extremely on sale so when it worked I was pleasantly surprised!
I have 2 metal Halloween houses I put out every year so I built them up with small books so they are little taller. The tree I bought years ago from Hallmark still sits proudly in the middle. I added a few spider and pumpkin candle holders to add lower level detail.
The cat was a gift I was "booed" with at work last year. Frankly I didn't know where else to put him so on the mantel he went.
I draped the whole mantel with some black spiderweb fabric that was meant to be a table runner but I think the width works perfectly on the mantel.
Does anyone else do up a Halloween mantel or any other scary scene in their house?
I would love to see pictures!
