Whimsical Neon Halloween Mantel

3 · Sep 17, 2018 · 1 Comment

When it comes to my typical style choices I typically stick with classic and timeless. However, I also have a real love of fun and whimsey that sneaks out every once in a while.  This year I’ve created a whimsical mantel using all kinds of fun finds from DecoArt, Target & Refined Design for my whimsical NEON Halloween mantel!

• This post brought to you by DecoArt •When it comes to my typical style choices I typically stick with classic and timeless. However, I also have a real love of fun and whimsey that sneaks out every once in a while.  This year I've created a whimsical mantel using all kinds of fun finds from DecoArt, Target & Refined Design for my whimsical NEON Halloween mantel!

You may not be able to tell by looking at me but, I tend like walking the line sometimes when it comes to following the rules. Nothing that would involve a felony conviction or anything, more like… When my daughter was born, I felt like she looked better in blue. She had beautiful blueberry eyes and I loved highlighting that. To this day she still is weirded out by the fact that I dressed her in blue instead of pink.

The same holds true when I decorate for holidays, sometimes I don’t really want to stick with the normally prescribed color palette. For example, we don’t really have to decorate with black and orange for Halloween, we can decorate in NEON and create a really fun, whimsical Halloween display.

Neon Halloween Mantel Supplies

With a mission in mind, I grabbed my DecoArt Americana Neon Light paints and headed to the Target Bullseye’s Playground (the former dollar spot) and grabbed some inexpensive Halloween trinkets to add to my mantel and got to work. Here’s my supply list…

    • Americana Neon Lights 2oz – Pink Explosion
    • Americana Neon Lights 2oz – Peach Punch
    • Americana Neon Lights 2oz – Green Energy
    • Americana Neon Lights 2oz – Knockout Blue
    • Americana Neon Lights 2oz – Radiant Yellow
    • foam paint brushes
    • small witches broom
  • various fabric pumpkins
  • tiny witches hat (it was a headband originally)
  • mascarade mask
  • wood beads in various sizes
  • cotton bakers twine
  • an upholstery needle
  • a set of Letters and Ledges
  • scissors
  • command stips

Instructions

With this project, I wanted to add touches of color to typical Halloween objects. Kind of like color blocking in some cases without the hard lines. I wanted it to have a free spirit air about the mantle. Remember, we are going for whimsical.

I started by painting the stems of the pumpkins green.

While those were drying, I painted the edge of the masquerade mask with the neon pink.

I have a quirky llama picture that I found at Target that sits on my mantle. Her name is Poppy and I adore her!

I thought it would be fun to get her in on the action, so Poppy will be wearing the mask for Halloween.

Then I added the color block on the bottom of the pumpkins, the broom & the little witches hat.

While I was waiting for them to dry, I starting to string my wood beads to create a garland. I was inspired by this tutorial from Design Love Fest…

You have to vist Design Love Fest to learn how to make fun bead garlands like this. Click on the link above.

I decided that since I didn’t want to paint the entire bead, it would be easier to string the garlands, hang them on the fireplace and then paint them.

Worked like a charm and saved a ton of time!

Once all of the paint was dry, it was time to dress the mantel.

With the addition of the Ledges & Letters and the bats the mantel was complete!

Now, every few days we can change-up the Halloween quote and tickle our funny bone all over again!

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry
