    Graphic that says christmas mantel with ornament garland

    I hope you enjoy my Christmas mantel with an ornament garland as part of my Christmas Ideas Tour. Not only will you see our mantel with the ornament garland today, but you'll get more mantel ideas as part of the Christmas Ideas Tour.

    Christmas mantel with an ornament garland

    Here it is! Our Christmas mantel with an ornament garland. I have been thinking about making an ornament garland to use on our mantel for a while, and I'll have to say that the garland makes the mantel.

    That and the matching topiaries on top! 

    The garland was not hard at all to make, and I recently posted about how to make one. In case you missed that post, you can check out the DIY Christmas ornament garland.

    The mantel is decorated with shades of soft blue and green along with lots of white.

    I've been using the blue shutters and the planters around the mantel for a while now. Inexpensive lighted garland surrounds the mantel and became a base for me to add faux white hydrangea blossoms and white ribbon.

    I decided to put some lighted trees in the blue planters, and I just love the glow that they and the lighted garland around the mantel give off at night.

    But without a doubt, the ornament garland is the star! I had no idea that it would turn out so well.

    The matching topiaries were easy to make, and I'll put up a post soon on how to make those.

      Jane, I absolutely love this garland and matching trees. Your whole space for that matter. I've often admired the ornament wreaths that are similar but now that you have created a garland with them you've got me thinking about all kinds of different possibilities. So fun and so inspiring.

      Well Jane the garland really has made the mantel gorgeous. The blog you did a week ago was a teaser but boy the real thing is spectacular. I think this mantel decor is the best for that white mantel that you have done. The colors are just perfect together and I love the look. Congratulations. Jean
