I loved challenging myself this season to come up with something unique for a fall mantel.
Though to be honest, I tried a bunch of odd ideas before I came up with this!
Simplicity with open frames, a clock, my fall wreath, and some pumpkins and wheat.
Here's my little fall wreath tied to an open frame. The tutorial is {HERE}.
All the frames were either from garage sales this summer, thrifted or from Hobby Lobby.
I added an old mirror inside of one to add a little light/reflection to the arrangement.
I just used an assorted bag of white and orange pumpkins from Lowes. I just pressed the white one down on the stem of the orange one underneath to stack them.
Very pleased indeed with my blue pumpkin I actually spotted at walmart.
The little doilie is held up with sticky tack - just right for a little open space.
