Decorating the Mantel

To put a new twist on a traditional fireplace, loose-weave linen — easily found in places like the African Desert or the Mediterranean Sea — is blended with rich colors, flowing tassels and winter-white accents.

Tasseled Ornaments

Bright, colorful tassels coupled with traditional glass ornaments are an easy, fresh take on a holiday staple. Hang a few over a holiday buffet or on your Christmas tree with an assortment of candy-colored balls to mix up the traditional red and green holiday palette.

Tassel Garland

These easy-to-make multicolored tassels are a simple way to add a global-inspired touch to traditional Christmas wreaths, stockings and ornaments.

Snowy Trees

Create your own winter wonderland with these burlap and fringe-covered trees. On the mantel or a tabletop, they look like a snowy forest; up close they add an unexpected but beautiful texture to your holiday decor. Your guests never have to know how easy they are to create.

Not the Typical Greenery

A simple twine-wrapped wreath is the perfect canvas for displaying colorful tassels. It’s simple to make it a one-of-a-kind wreath by using as many tassels as you like, and incorporating a color palette that matches your ornaments or choosing variations of white and cream for more monochromatic, understated decor.

Textured Stocking

Update the classic stocking by crafting it out of white burlap and adding just a few tassels for a pop of color. Use a template to sew quick and easy stockings for your mantel and, for an added twist on tradition, skip the lining and add stockings to a staircase garland. Get the step-by-step instructions >>
