Thanks for Giving me these Mantel Ideas

I was looking for some Thanksgiving mantels ideas

and found these gems!

I love making things with paper!

So, this is the perfect craft for me!

This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate.

All you need is a few cylinder vases and

rice paper or vellum.

Use double stick tape and instantly you have a new look!

You could exchange the paper later for Christmas vellum!
