Easy Dollar Tree Mantel Decorating!
Looking for an easy and affordable way to decorate this Independence Day?
By using Red, White and Blue items found at the Dollar Tree, you can stretch your dollar and make a nice presentation too!
For our mantel garland:
We used a package of napkins and draped them over a piece of ribbon we already had.
Stars and strips fans and heart sign:
The fans come two per package.
The sign came as is {not extra painting or adding glitter},
and has a string at the top so that can be used as a hanging decoration.
Festive candles:
Using our own mantel candles, we simply tied on patriotic ribbon from the Dollar Tree.
Red, white and blue lanterns:
We picked up two packages {1 per package}.
They actually light up too!
We hope you are inspired to decorate your mantel with some red, white and blue!
Remember, keep it Homespun!
You know my folly, O God;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
Psalm 69:5

The idea to tie ribbons around the candles is creative and fun. It's nice because you are using what you have, but you are able to add a nice touch to spice it up for the 4th. :0)
ReplyDeleteYour mantel is completely charming! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the 4th! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love those fans! I wish I had seen them at our dollar tree :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I would have never known the banner was just paper napkins - very clever. I finished up my mantel not too long ago too.
