Mantels

The generous use of ornaments
and ribbon gives this garland an
opulent feel.

In this brilliant garland, delicate glass ornaments are wired and hot-glued to a felt-backed wire frame. Coordinating ribbons fill in between the ornaments, and oversize bows give the finishing touch. This garland would be equally at home over a door or a window.

The nutcrackers form a "virtual
garland."

A parade of nutcrackers standing guard on a stately library table is assembled into a textural "garland." Display your collections to emphasize style, size, and contrasts by allowing them the space to shine.

The artistic mantel garland is an appropriate counterpoint to the massive and ornate fireplace and framed mirror. Fresh flowers tucked into greenery can be changed during the season. Airy branches add height and flair, leading eyes upward to spaciousness. Coordinate holiday displays with your home's architectural style for stunning results.
