Easter Mantel

Easter Mantel - Take Two!  I some how deleted the first post I did - so this is going to read quite different from the original post! 

I went a little Easter Egg Crazy with my mantel this year. 

I made the Egg Garland from a piece of greenery I bought for $6.99, a spring garland I purchased at Joann Fabrics (with coupon I paid about $4.00 for it) some eggs I had with hanging ribbons already attached and some fishing line. 

I cut up the greenery and the garland and used the wire from ends of each piece to wind together until I had one long piece.  I tied the eggs on with fishing line instead of having the ribbon over the top of half the greenery - they just hung nicer this way and used 3M hooks to hang it.

I found these two bunnies at Stein Mart - they spoke to me!!  I had the various sized Easter Eggs to place around and added one of my favorite spring flowers, a hyacinth. 

At the other end I used my church bird house, some potted grass, more eggs and 3 pillar candles.  I wrapped some brown twine around my candles because it reminded me of a crown of thorns.  Topped it all of with my pastel words - EASTER EGGS! and walla!  my Easter Mantel

Wishing you an Eggsellent Easter!  Thanks for hopping by!
