Decorating a Mantel with Vintage Halloween Decor

Directions

1. Gather a collection of eerie treasures, such as vintage Halloween pieces and childhood books, to decorate your mantel for Halloween.
2. Arrange everything in layers, moving items around until you're satisfied with the overall look.
3. Set the vintage Halloween postcard featuring the little witch onto the mantel.
4. Place the pair of chain candlesticks and the mantel clock on the surface.
5. Add Halloween door hangers purchased from Etsy or similar shops.
6. Incorporate other antiques, like a second children's Halloween book.
7. Make a vintage Ouija board the focal point of the mantel by leaning it in the hinge of an old book to prevent it from slipping.
8. Put the large black cat door hanger (its height is roughly 22 inches) onto the mantel.
9. Include upcycled serger cone projects (such as candy corn) as well as other strange items.
10. Position the old pharmacy bottle on the far right side of the mantel.
11. Set the bathtub planter holding three black kittens among the decor.
12. Add the third children's book and the tall black cat statue; equip the statue with glass eyes.
13. Place a tall, skinny brass candlestick behind the mantel clock to add height, and use it as a stand for the jack-o-lantern door hanger.
14. Slip the upper right corner of the vintage Halloween postcard behind the clock face's hinge to secure it.
15. Insert a green children's book behind the mantel clock to keep it upright and closed, and use it to support a smaller door hanger.
16. Conceal another book behind 'Two Too Many' to prop up another vintage Halloween postcard.
17. Lean one leg of the candlestick against the wall so it remains stable.
18. Set the metal cast finger oddity (which has 'Andersen' embossed on it) as a final quirky touch.
