My poor mantel needed some love! All I had on it was my Dollar Store vignette.
I decided I needed a fun Halloween garland. While out shopping I got the idea to take 2 pieces of dollar store garland and spray paint it black. I would use that as my base of my garland. I got so excited to do it, I forgot to take pictures. Whoops!
For my garland I used scrapbooking paper and some embellishments I found in the dollar section of Target and JoAnn Fabrics.
Cut your scrapbooking into the shape you want your garland to be. I chose triangles. After they are cut decide which embellishments you want on your paper.
Add your trim and then you embellishments.
I then took mini clothes pins and pinned them on to my black garland.
I will show you how to create this Halloween candle next week.
Nice and easy and colorful.
