I've been busy and completely uninspired....I have no other excuses. I didn't want
to spend money (my normal mantra!) and I just couldn't motivate myself to take
down the sweater vases....I really liked them!
But alas....seasons must change and so must mantles! So here's my spring version....
It was really quite simple and inexpensive!
I made the spring banner from brown paper grocery bags and some acrylic paint
that I had on hand.....I had my artistic husband draw the letters and then I colored
them in with Crayola markers!
I had spraypaint leftover from my tiered rack so I just sprayed some Mason
jars that I grabbed at our local thrift shop for $0.40 each!
I stuffed some Dollar Tree flowers in the jar and voila.....
....a spring mantle for under $5.00!

You're not behind, spring hasn't even sprung yet here in Minnesota. It looks great, but do tell where did you put the sweater vases?

That is so so cute!! Love it
I think this looks great (and you still have plenty of time to have a "SPRING" mantle up! I love the cheery yellow jars you created and the banner from paper bags -- VERY cute!
That is so cute, Nicole! I love the old window -- what a wonderful backdrop for just about anything!
Happy Easter!

That is so cute! I like the idea of using an old window above the mantle.
I love your banner! The soft yellow color is beautiful
Thanks for showing the steps and items.
I love it, so simple, so sweet. Did you notice it matches your blog?
I love that it cost practically nothing too.
Happy Easter Nicole!
