Diy Ideas For Realistic Spooky Halloween Mantel Decor
Add some spookiness to your home this Halloween with these DIY ideas for creating a realistic and eerie Halloween mantel decor!
Supplies:
- faux spider web
- cheese cloth to create creepy cloth
- pillow stuffing to create magic potion steam
- black candles
- iron candlesticks
- an old window
- real creepy branches
- old bottles
- black rubber rat
- real dried leaves from outdoors
- an old book with a creepy title
- old eyeglasses
Instructions:
- Gather up items from your own home with muted tones. Wood, black, metal, etc.
- Start your mantel by placing your largest object on the mantel first. In my case, it was an old window.
- Place two candle sticks on both sides of the mantel.
- Now fill all the other areas with accessories by bouncing the sizes, colours, solid vs. transparent, etc. You just want to disperse the visual weight to feel good.
- Add a dash of traditional fall with a small faded orange pumpkin.
- To create creepy cloth, pull sections of cheesecloth so it looks uneven. Then arrange as desired.
- To create foaming magic potion, place some pillow batting into glass bottles, then pull some up and out the top so it resembles steam.
- For the very last step, spread out some faux spider web very thinly over various objects and features. The thinner it is, the more realistic it will look!
- Light the candles, then enjoy your creepy ambiance!
