Snowflake and Mercury Glass Christmas Mantel

December 3, 2012 By Shannah 11 Comments

Christmas decorating is in full force here!  We’ve almost completed the outside {one deer left to plug in!} and I worked on the inside over the weekend.

As always, I started with our fireplace mantel in the family room.  I love changing this over to a Christmas mantel.

This year, I went with a combination of mercury glass, pine cones and snowflakes.  I moved my new mirror onto the mantle and used it as a starting point.  Then, I added the pine cone garland.

Mercury glass vases, candle holders and animals were added next. I really love the hive texture on the large vase.

To keep with the natural vibe of the pine cones, I added gilded wood pieces to a small glass vase.

The little clips are actually stocking holders but those haven’t been unpacked quite yet 🙂  The last addition was the little snowflake clings to the mirror for a fun touch.

It is definitely starting to look like Christmas around here!

    The mercury glass against the textures of the cones really makes this mantel special.

    Love the sparkle with the dark of your walls.
