So, I really don’t have a mantel, but we decided to build a shelf on one wall when we did our Board & Batten.
I like to consider it my mantel and want to show you some Fun and Inexpensive Christmas Mantel Decor Ideas…
I made about 75% of the items that are being used on the mantel. The rest of them {the Christmas trees} were all bought after Christmas for 50% -90% off. I’m telling you, that’s the way to do it. It’s sometimes hard to put it away in the bins after just buying it to wait a WHOLE year to use it, but trust me – it’ll be like Christmas Morning when you are taking out the bins next year. 
So, let’s begin…
I have 3 printables up there and a few crafts.
The first craft I made that was the CENTER of the mantel was my Christmas Cabinet Door Sign.
Super cute, and made from supplies I had here at home = FREE!
Then, I put some Printables into some frames.
Starting from the left, the Frame is from Cut It Out, Print is from my cute friend, Lara at Less Cake, More Frosting.
The second print is one of my first ever printables I did last year. You can find it HERE.
Third print is also in a frame from Cut It Out and the print is one I made this year. {Found HERE}.
I also made these JOY Blocks.
They were super simple and also made with supplies I keep on hand, except the letter which means again, they were FREE!
The tutorial can be found HERE.
And last but not least, here is my Christmas Tree:
I LOVE it!
It’s full of glitter, my fav Christmas colors and lots of sentimental ornaments.
The ball ornaments I do have on there were again bought after Christmas for at least 50% off
{I’m a cheap-o, what can I say?!}
Any who, I hope I provided some inspiration and hope that you are able to decorate on a budget as well!
ENJOY!
