I started getting ideas for this mantel right after I was done with the fall one. I didn't put anything that had to do with Christmas on it so I could keep it around until the end of January or so (besides the stockings.) I knew I wanted everything to be mainly white so I started with a bottle of spray paint and went from there. I found branches at the park, saved some soup cans and reused the pine cones from fall. We had a gift card to Hobby Lobby so we got a canvas, some sparkly branches and the spray paint at no cost.
The only thing I had to buy was the glue and glitter for the deer silhouette and then the snowflake picture holder that I used to hang the stockings. So over all this was done for less than $12! Another successful mantel, and my favorite yet. I'm sure I'll be switching somethings up after Christmas though.

| When stocking holders aren't cheap you figure out what else will work. This is a picture holder but for $6 is will hold our stockings. |

| The final product. I took down the painting and put a sparkly deer in it's place. It seemed more fitting for the season. |
