Add Swag To Your Mantel
Swags are not only for doorways and porches. Craft a classic, decorative swag for your mantel out of surprisingly nontraditional materials. Birch bark is one of a decorator’s favorite natural materials – its flexibility and light, beautiful pattern are perfect for many occasions. In this Christmas swag, thin tree branches and birch bark shavings make up the rustic display for a minimalist living room. Red berries and frosted Christmas trees in varying heights lend holiday touches to the natural arrangement, which could be used throughout the fall and winter seasons.
