Simple Spring Mantle

Hey!
  Are you all as excited about spring as I am?  I’ve said it before  and I’ll say it again…
Spring is one of my favorite seasons!  I love all the colors that spring reminds me of!  The bright and pastel colors mixed together …Yummy!
 I did a little spray painting last week when I thought it was warm enough.  I decided to do it in the garage because it was a little windy and I definitely didn’t want it to be blowing my paint everywhere but on the thing I wanted it on.
 Um…lets just say it wasn’t as warm as I thought it was, it took all day for the paint to dry! 
BUT I did get it done!  Take a look at what I came up with!
The “vase”  I got at a thrift store.  Do you recognize what it is?  It’s a IHOP bottle that they serve juice,milk or water in! I got it for $1.00!

 The frame $.75.  L.O.V.E this frame!  It is a beauty!   The glitter stickers to spell out spring

$1.00 at Walmart ( and pretty much the whole alphabet left over)  Paint sample paper from Home Depot= Free.  I used two little pieces of ribbon on the side.  First I glued on the pink and then the thin lime green one to give it a “pop” of color.
 

The cute little bird at Dollar Tree for of course $1.00  I actually picked up two and the other one is at the other end of my mantel by decor balls $1.00. I love the fun detail on this little bird!
Last but not least the  yellow bead necklace is from my Grandma..Free. The Yellow flowers I picked up at Dollar tree after Christmas… five of them and they each had two branches on them for $1.00 each.  I already had the paint and ribbon.

The grand total for this simple mantle is  $9.75!  LOVE IT! 
Both the price and the mantle.

It’s is very simple yet I really like it. Honestly it looks better in person..
I’m thinking the “picture taker” (aka..Kirsten) needs to take a photography class and get a better camera! 
Oh, remember my Spring Decor Balls?  They have a new home! 
In my office/study in this cute wire basket!
You can find the tutorial on these here.
See you all tomorrow for “Tutorial Tuesday!”  It’s a fun one!
Have a super day!

    The bottle color came out beautiful. I found 2 of those bottles at Goodwill the other day for 50 cents each I bought them with no idea what exactly to do with them. They just might get a nice pretty color of paint! Thanks for sharing!
