I came across this beautiful mantle on Pinterest<\/a> and knew this is what I wanted my new mantle to resemble for this fall season. It worked for October and November and I already had some of the items on-hand, so I set out to recreate something similar, but on a budget.<\/p>\n

Below are the items and descriptions for where I found these items.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Tutorial:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Little white pumpkins are expensive! At Michael’s the little suckers are running around $4 EACH. So, I went on a hunt to make them cheaper. I found a bag of six pumpkins at Ross for $4.99. I used rustoleum spray paint and sprayed away. It took about four coats to cover all the shine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I then simply painted the stems with leftover brown paint I had.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the letters, I used stencils previously purchased from Walmart and first lightly outlined the letters in pencil. I then used a Sharpie to fill them in. Simple as that! And I love how they turned out.<\/p>\n
