Whimsical Budget-Friendly Spring Mantel Decor

Are you looking for some spring mantel ideas? This whimsical budget-friendly spring mantel decor is just so fun and full of springtime goodness.

You can’t go wrong when you start with a strand of budget-friendly eucalyptus as your spring mantel garland. I happen to have some in stock from Annie’s Backyard Wedding.

Whimsical Budget-Friendly Spring Mantel Decor

After starting with the eucalyptus spring mantel garland, then you will begin layering. A second garland that had a few dainty flowers was my next layer, again this was something we had in stock and I just weaved it into the other garland. Simple sprays of ferns are inexpensive and you can cut them apart and tuck them into the bottom of the garlands to give them more depth and interest. You can also add other green faux stems you have available.

Now it’s time to start tucking in the whimsy! Using real birds nests really adds another level of fun to this mantel. (Below you will find how to preserve a real bird’s nest) Every bird’s nest needs someone to occupy it so what could be better than sweet little blue eggs in one and a ceramic bird in the other.

Everything you Need to Recreate the Mantel

All of these items are available at Walmart

You might have much of this on hand, especially if you’re a gardener. The only thing that I had to buy were new gardening gloves and only because all of mine were so dirty. They will serve double duty and go out into the greenhouse when I switch out my spring mantel to summer.

You will notice that the Frame TV in the background has a picture of a vintage garden scene. The fact that you can switch out the artwork to match the season or your decor is the most amazing feature. You can get the Frame TV HERE

Regina from Saved from Salvage created the most amazing vintage frame wreath. It is such an easy DIY and you can recreate it in just a few minutes.

The spring DIY wreath that I made a few years ago turned out really well at a fraction of the price of the inspiration wreath that I was working with. You can find that post HERE
