My Winter Wonderland Christmas Mantel

I have been having a lot a laugh redecorating my domestic for Christmas.

Today I am going to proportion my Winter Wonderland mantel with you.

It all started with these stick stars I made . . . . and I made lot's of them! I put a few of them on my mantel and the rest on my Christmas tree. I'll share how to make them with ya soon.

I originally had a bunch more of the stick stars on my mantel, some that were really large, but I just wasn't feeling it, so I took them all down and started over.

I also made a couple garlands. One with plastic snowflakes and the other with pine cones. I threaded some twine through the snowflakes and tied the pine cones onto the twine on the other.

I love the whimsy look they supply.

I have been collecting pine cones all year. Every time we go camping or to anywhere that has a ton of big pine cones, I usually always bring a bag full home. I filled up my crate with them here.

I had a lot of fun with these plastic snowflakes, I have them hanging all over the house.

I added in a wreath, tied it up with a smaller berry wreath and a plaid bow, then I hung it on an old window.

I brought in some logs to use as candle holders, you may remember I had these on my Christmas mantel last year, I like the added warmth they bring in.

And then I went crazy making Waterless Snow globes. I just took old jars, dollar store tree's, and a bag of super-fine crystal fake snow and assembled them using hot glue.
