Directions:
The previous autumn post has step-by-step directions for positioning the pool noodle on the mantel ◄ click here.
Secure the Pine Garland
Use floral pins to position and secure the pine garland to the pool noodle across the width of the mantel.
The Poinsettias
Begin placing the poinsettias across the mantel and use more floral pins to secure them in place. Tuck the wispy silver stems under the poinsettias and secure them with floral pins.
Add Christmas Signs and Decorative Items
Then, add a festive Christmas sign and a red truck. I needed to place a couple of books under the red truck so that it would be more visible. The poinsettias were blocking the view.
Next, I placed the Santa bust on the opposite side. One 18-inch and one 16.5-inch white bottle brush Christmas trees sit on either side of the signs, Santa, and the little red truck.
Fairy Lights
The finishing detail is a string of fairy lights draped over the poinsettias.
It’s surprising that this beautiful display began with pool noodles, isn’t it?
Wait until you see the Christmas tree this year! A swirl of red Christmas ornaments creates a stunning display. Be sure to sign up below so you don’t miss anything!
