Quick and easy SPRING MANTLE
Has your mantle been taken over by a big screen tv – like mine? I was given the challenge to come up with a clever way to decorate our “spring time” mantle & Command brand products were the perfect solution. I am working with Command during 2014, to show you clever ways to use their products. Continue reading, to learn how you can decorate your mantle for any holiday, using Command products (even with an unsightly flat screen tv). They are damage free and are easily removable to make room for the next season.
Here is a before shot of my mantle. It’s in desperate need of some color and style.
There are only a few simple steps to creating a spring time mantle with Command products.
1. Gather your supplies.
2. Decide which damage free Command products you will be using. For our mantle, I chose the Clear Decorating Clips. They are small and barely noticeable.
3. Prepare your surface. To use Command Decorating Clips, you must wipe the area with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. This ensures a tight bond with the clips and the surface.
4. Apply the Command Decorating Clips according the package instructions. (Remove blue liner. Press adhesive to clip. Make sure tab is accessible for future removal. Then remove black liner. Press clip firmly for 30 seconds & wait one hour before hanging decorations on the clips).
5. Now you’re ready to hang the decorations on the clips. Command has different types of hooks for wreaths. If your wreath is heavy, you can use a stronger hook.
6. Finally, add your spring decorations, to fill in the remaining space on the mantle.

Toni, I love all your organizing tips…love them, but I adore your new home. Thanks for letting us peek in and see part of your family room.
Love it! My TV isn’t on the mantle but I have a large black and white picture there- the pink blooms are so pretty- where did you find the urns for the sides?
Love it! I have the same banner and have it on my mantle also. Unfortunately, it’s held up by tape right now and little girl keeps pulling it down. I forget about these Command hooks, will have to pick some up today!
This is really a great idea. I am going to try it.
that’s beautiful….and so simple! thanks for sharing!
Oh, to have a mantle. This is darling!
This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love how your mantle turned out, especially that banner!
Happy Easter! Love your beautiful mantel! I especially like the sweet banner.
This is great! I bought some of these strips but I was nervous to use them before I had a first hand account of them! I will dive in now and start using them!
ABSOLUTELY DARLING!!! Great ideas using smart products!
WOW — just — WOW !!!! Amazing difference — thank you for the “reveal”….
Very pretty! I haven’t even brought out one Easter decoration yet and Easter’s on it’s way!
Gorgeous! Just a few simple decorations completely transformed your mantle into such a happy zone!
I don’t have a fireplace but I love to decorate all over my house. If I had a fireplace it would be my favorite thing to decorate. Yours looks lovely!
I would love to know where you got all your decorations! Beautiful!
They come from stores like Target, World Market, Home Goods and Marshall’s.
Boy I wish I had a mantel !!! Great job !!!

This is beautiful and so cheerful! I used those same Command hooks for our Christmas garland. Creating a reusable chalkboard banner like this one – http://www.preciouslypreserved.com/diy-burlap-chalkboard-banner/ – is on my list of DIY projects. One thing, though…I was wondering about the spelling of mantle. I believe “mantle” refers to a cloak or shawl and “mantel” is a beam or shelf above the fireplace.
