I stole the idea for the sign from YHL back from one of their christmas cards when they were pregnant the first time. </p> <p>My mom made the stockings a couple years ago and also made a "template" so she can make more of the same exact shape for future babies. So excited to have another one up there next year!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-mantle-decorated-for-christmas/page/2#post-1975193 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:59:22 +0000 raspberries 1975193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: Awww, how cute is your little reserved sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-mantle-decorated-for-christmas/page/2#post-1974669 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 21:08:04 +0000 travellingbee 1974669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-mantle-decorated-for-christmas/page/2#post-1974668 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 21:07:36 +0000 travellingbee 1974668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a garland from Michael's today and added it. I like it, even though it isn't lighted.

You get the idea though... </p> [attach=1312/14/ng8025.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-mantle-decorated-for-christmas#post-1974279 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 11:08:21 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1974279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just did ours last night!

So they just kind of fall into place...I wasn't sure if you had to do like 4-5 wires and twist them around each other. Looks gorgeous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-mantle-decorated-for-christmas#post-1964763 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 20:27:09 +0000 kiddosc 1964763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: <a href="http://m.homedepot.com/c/make_ornament_garland_HT_PG_DC?crlt.pid=camp.NgkoLIQK6r38" rel="nofollow">http://m.homedepot.com/c/make_ornament_garland_HT_PG_DC?crlt.pid=camp.NgkoLIQK6r38</a></p> <p>It's simple, attach a washer to floral wire or ribbon (I used wire). String on ornaments. Attach washer at end. I slipped the washers over nails and used some picture hanging wire wrapped around a nail and the garland wire to make the swags. Voila! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-mantle-decorated-for-christmas#post-1964757 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 20:17:30 +0000 babycanuck 1964757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: You now need to post instructions on YOUR pinterest on IG :P that's incredible </p>
