This mantel feels a bit more earthy than my Batty Turquoise mantel from last week. The free eye chart printable from Jen at Tatertots & Jello had to make a return because I love it so! I'm not really into "gory" Halloween, hence the pumpkins and "candy corn" vase, but I did add a touch of fright with the skeleton banner. Just a tiny, baby fright, really.

The pumpkin art tutorial is here. The candy corn inspired vase is a yellow vase I already had, which I covered with a strip of orange burlap and a strip of cream burlap. The strips are held in place with thick twine.

The banner is made from my Fall banner, which I turned around so the word "Fall" wasn't visible. I picked up the skeletons at the dollar store and stuck them in the banner with cardstock letters spelling "EEK".

My vase is filled with sticks I found in our yard. They add the perfect amount of height and contribute to the earthy vibes going on with this mantel!
