I love to create seasonal mantels and this years Fall mantel may be one of my favorites. Before I reveal the whole mantel, I want to share how to create this beautiful Fall swag. Come check out how I made it and then stay tuned for the full reveal soon…

This year I decided to make a big wow statement mantel. I borrowed some ideas from how I style my Christmas mantel and love the result.

Supplies:

• 2 Large full leaf stems or branches (all items are linked at the end of the post)
• 1 bunch of seeded eucalyptus
• 2 stems of pods or hops 
• 2 small pumpkin picks
• florists wire

First Step

You will need to create a base with the large stems. Fluff the stems separating the leaves and creating a 3 dimensional look. Then, bend them to the shape that will fit the area where you are hanging it. Next, slide them together with the ends overlapping and secure with the wire.

Second Step

Trim off the eucalyptus and pod stems to create individual picks. Then tuck the stems in to fill gaps where you need color. You can make this as full or sparse as you want. Since the leaves of this base are so large, I decided to only use a few of each to just give a pop of color and texture. You can use wire to secure the stems to the branches.

Third Step

Tuck in the pumpkins and arrange as desired then anchor with wire or hot glue.

Fourth Step

Hang your beautiful new swag with wire. I attached this one to a small nail that is in the trim above the mantel. You may need to adjust or arrange leaves differently once you hang it to create the look/feel you want.

It’s surprisingly quite easy to make and creates such a wow factor over a mirror or doorway.
