I spent a ridiculous amount of time working on my mantel Sunday. I don't know what the problem was but I couldn't get it right. I gave up & went back to it later. I finished it today. This is how it ended up.
It's just garland, poinsettia's, gold netting & a few ornaments. I really wanted a couple of big gold reindeer that I saw at Michael's but when I went yesterday they were sold out. That was a bummer. You'd think I would've learned by now when I see something to buy it. I needed something tall so I ended up with these gold thingys.
This is what they looked like when I bought them. They're over 4 ft. tall.
I attached some berries & greenery & some other gold thingys. Here's another picture.
I see now that the bead garland I have doesn't show up well in the picture. I used a strand of gold & a strand of burgundy & gold. Like I said, it's not what I wanted but considering what I went through to get it done I think it turned out ok.
