Halloween Mantel Decor

Halloween Mantel Decor: a moon shaped wreath, and flying black butterflies with lots of pumpkins and lanterns are perfect for Halloween.

This Halloween I thought it would be fun to add some Halloween mantel decor.  It’s perfect for Halloween movie watching.  And even though it’s perfect for Halloween and a little spooky, it’s also really beautiful too.  If you’re looking for that balance, here’s some inspiration for you.

I’m joining in with some of my favourite bloggers today as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series.  Be sure to check out lots more Halloween decorating inspiration at the end of the end of this post and follow the links to all the other posts.

Moon Wreath

The wreath is a fun DIY.  You can read all about how I made it from a dollar store round wreath form, and transformed it into this fun moon wreath for Halloween.  Check out the full tutorial to make the Halloween moon wreath here.

The wreath set the colour scheme for the mantel.  I used black, with some pink, peach, and white.

When I made the wreath, I added some black paper butterflies, and decided to cut out some extra ones with my Cricut, to decorate the mantel with.  You can find my free black butterfly cut file for cricut here.  I attached the butterflies to the mirror using some scotch tape.

To create the garland, I hung a few different pieces of yarn, fringe, pom poms, and felt ball garland in black and white, with one strand of pink pom pom yarn.  It was really simple to hang them with a couple command hooks.

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and More Pumpkins

The rest of the mantel is decorated with pumpkins.  There’s a mixture of real and faux ones.  I also added in a couple black lanterns -because they seemed perfect for Halloween.

I also added a simple letter board saying “making magic” and a disco ball to match the ones in the wreath.

It’s really pretty simple, but I love how it turned out.  And it looks so beautiful and spooky at night with the candles lit.

With this Halloween mantel decor, life really is a party!
