Rustic Spring Mantel and a DIY Garland

March 19, 2015  My Projects | Spring

Make this DIY carrot garland - part of this adorable rustic spring mantel kellyelko.com

Spring is in the air …

tomorrow is officially the first day of spring and I’m celebrating the warmer, longer, happier, brighter and all around better days with a fun mantel.

Love this fun spring mantel - see how she used the exact same pieces from winter with just a few minor changes kellyelko.com

Remember my egg garland that I made a few years ago?

DIY Easter Egg Garland - a fun spring craft using plastic Easter eggs! kellyelko.com

This is my 2015 version made from little carrot eggs from the dollar store and some clear fishing twine.

It’s easy – just make sure to get the eggs (carrots) that have little holes on either end then string together with twine and hang.

How ridiculously cute is this spring mantel and carrot garland?  See how to make your own kellyelko.com

Don’t you just want to take a bite …

or plant a garden …

or make a crudite platter with lots of yummy dips?

Repeat after me: we don’t have to go all crazy, spend tons of time and money and stress out when decorating for each season.

Do you remember my winter mantel?  Check it out to see how I used the exact same things …

with a fresh twist.

I love this spring mantel - the toolbox filled with music sheets and the adorable DIY carrot garland! kellyelko.com
