Spring Mantel Decorating Ideas

In the past I only decorated my mantel for Christmas.  But this year I had so much fun changing things up with my winter mantel decor that I couldn’t resist changing it over for spring, too.  I’m excited to share my spring mantel decorating ideas, because you might find some ideas to inspire a spring-themed mantel in your home, too!

I went really green and really simple for my spring mantel, and I think it works!

Spring Mantel Idea No. 1 – Use What You’ve Got

I tried hard to use things I already had, like moss-covered balls, white ceramic decor accents (like a bunny candy dish (here’s a similar one) and bird), a candlestick, and flowering cherry branches . . . and thankfully it all came together.

Spring Mantel Idea No. 2 – Add Greenery and Florals

One new purchase was the long planter box in the middle, which I filled with faux grass that I cut to size, and trimmings from the flowering cherry branches in the large vase.

I also used some of those cherry blossom trimmings and a ribbon scrap to add a pop of spring to a plain candle.

Spring Mantel Idea No. 3 – Use Free Printables in Bare Spots

I think my favorite thing about my spring mantel is the vintage seed packet bunting that I made for over the window mirror.  

I’m going to let you in on a little secret . . . they’re not actually seed packets at all!  They’re just some free printables that I downloaded from Knick of Time (THANK YOU, Angie!), and resized to be smaller like seed packets.  I glued them onto twine and had an adorable and “springy” bunting for my mirror!  

Spring Mantel Idea No. 4 – Throw in a Cute Puppy (ha!)

Now, this has nothing to do with my mantel, but when I was taking pictures I moved my coffee table out of the way . . . and my NEW little puppy decided to plop himself right in the middle of my workspace.   I guess he wants you all to be formally introduced!  So please meet Jasper, my 13 week old Labradoodle!  

Isn’t he a cutie?  

He told me he approves of my spring mantel decorating ideas, so I hope you do, too!
