Our Halloween Fireplace Mantel
October 13, 2015Well, our Halloween fireplace mantel is finally done- and it’s spook-tacular!! I have all the pumpkins and spiders and spooky faces in position! Remember, this is our first Halloween in the new house and our first year having a fireplace mantel to decorate, so I’m learning the ropes of how to decorate this thing! And I think I’m getting better at it!
Decor Ideas: Our Halloween Fireplace Mantel
Our Halloween Fireplace Mantel
I draped some of that dollar store spider webbing all across the top of the mantel. I left it on there pretty thick, so it serves a spooky cloud, upon which all the creatures and crawlers like to nest!

On the right side of the mantel, I placed a grouping of small pumpkins, along with this black owl. The black owl’s eyes actually light up and glow- it’s really spooky! I have a few small black spiders strewn across the spider webbing in various spots, too!

On the left side, I have a few items. My dollar store spooky pumpkin with gold spiderweb sits inside an old white vase. I put it inside the vase to give it a bit of height and drama. That jar with the jack-o-lantern face was a DIY project- I wrote about it here. The small black cauldron was a little item I picked up from Walmart. I also used it in my DIY Haunted House project! And that little white ghost- it’s a tealight candle holder, and when the candle is lit, it’s spook-tacular!! 🙂

I love my fireplace mantel! It was so easy to put this look together and it totally screams “Halloween” to me, but in a child-friendly way! With two young kids in the house, I did not want to create something too frightful! 🙂

Decorating for the holidays are so much fun. What a great Halloween mantle! I really like the black, sparkly owl. I have a thing for owls.
Owls are great! Perfect for Halloween.. but really, they’re a cute addition any time of the year, too!
This is really cute! I especially love the spiderwebs. We hope to put a mantle/fireplace in soon, so this would be perfect for us.
The kids are drawn to the spiderwebs and like to pull them off! Haha!
Cute mantle ideas. I love decorating by using things from the Dollar store too!
Thanks, Carol!
I love your mantel!! It is Halloween in style 🙂 Sadly my 4 and 7 year old insist on corny decor 🙁 so we will have witches, zombies and creepy looking cats all over the house lol
We have some witches and cats, too! 😉
I have a 2 and 4 year old!! 🙂
Thanks for visiting!
It turned out adorably and you can’t beat the price. I love the little owl so much, he is too cute.
Yes, the kids are always asking me to turn on his lights! 🙂
Oh your setup is awesome. We don’t have a fireplace but I would love to set up some cute decorations like these on one of the shelves.
Thanks, Liz!
I absolutely love decorating for the holidays and must admit that I have a hard time letting my boys participate (it is their new favorite thing). Oh well, I guess I should just enjoy it while it lasts!
Let them help – it’s so much fun for the kids! They’ll only be small for a short time! 🙂
Thanks for visiting, Amanda!
Oh, I love that! It is super cute and super spooky! My daughter would love this!
Yes, my kids definitely love looking at all the little spooky faces! 🙂
I absolutely love your Halloween decorations. Your mantle is really cute and attractive. I go all out decorating for Christmas, but not Halloween. I feel inspired to decorate my fireplace after reading this post though!
Awww.. thanks, Michelle! I appreciate your kind words!
Those are all great ideas! I want to get a pumpkin and glitter it up. I don’t really do Halloween decorations, but it looks like so much fun!
It is a lot of fun, Stephanie! 🙂
Your Halloween decorating ideas are perfect. I really like how you set up your fireplace mantel. I also do the same with mine.
It’s our first year with a fireplace, so we are really excited to dress it up for the different seasons and holidays!
Your mantel looks so cool. We have ours decorated too. I love it. Thanks for sharing yours.
Thanks, Bonnie!
