Halloween Mantel Ideas

Looking for Halloween mantel ideas? I have you covered thanks to some cool products from Martha Stewart. Did you know Halloween is Martha Stewart’s favorite holiday? That’s probably why her Halloween decor is always some of the coolest at the store. I knew there would be some good stuff in my October 12 Months of Martha box, and it did not disappoint!

I decided decorate my mantel in honor of Martha – incorporating the spooky bats, skulls, and gothic labels that came in my box.

When it comes to Halloween decorations, I ten to lean toward cutesy vs. scary decor. However, these awesome 3D skull silhouettes inspired me to go a little spookier this year.

DIY Paper Skull Art

I framed the paper skulls in some frames I already had, removing the glass and sticking them to a piece of white foam core (card stock would also work). A little spider web stretched across the frame adds a finishing touch.

Vintage Bottles with Halloween Labels

I borrowed these vintage laboratory bottles from Ross’s man cave and gave them a Halloween twist with the Martha Stewart labels. Another 5 minute makeover was adding the bat window clings to the big mirror. I love this simple idea that anyone can do!

While the labels are peel and stick, I left their backing on and instead used removable double sided tape so they could be easily be removed after Halloween (and avoid upsetting the hubby!).

Gray Pumpkins in Urns

I replaced the usual greenery in the black urns I keep on the mantel with a “blue pumpkin” and some faux spider web.

DIY Pipe Cleaner Spider Garland

To finish off the display I mixed in a bunch of little pumpkins and draped my creepy crawly spider garland across the front.

Thank you Martha for inspiring me to come up with a fun mantel this Halloween!
