Recreate this simply beautiful mantel on the cheap.
You will need:
Fresh cut greenery
Wreath
2 inch wide red ribbon
Fresh cranberries
Fresh cranberries
3 glass containers
3 white small pillar candles
Ornaments
Using clippings from your tree and/or from trees and bushes around your yard you can craft your own wreath following Martha’s Fresh Wreath Tutorials. These are also items that can be purchased fairly inexpensively at places like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Wrap the wreath with the ribbon.
Place the candles in the glass containers and fill a third of the way with the cranberries. Arrange the containers in a row, tuck extra pieces of greenery around the containers and scatter ornaments to complete the look.
This is also a lovely inspiration for a gorgeous Christmas centerpiece. using the hurricanes, greenery, cranberries and candles.
