Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble! Halloween is right around the corner and mantel decoration is a must for any haunted mansion. Our mantel is themed after a wicked witch, and this mantel decoration is our rendition of what you would find in a spooky witch’s lair.
We used our gorgeous Astoria fireplace, which is a traditional style mantel with a Dark Emperador Marble top with matching surround and decorative metal grate. The mantel also features an Empire Cherry finish with a decorative corbel on the center panel and fluted half round columns.
We gathered our supplies at Michael’s craft store and got to work. We stuck with a black, green, orange and purple color palette. We started decorating with our background, which just happens to be two of our magnetic faces for some of our fireplace surrounds. These magnetic fireplace surrounds stick to the front of some of our mantels for a unique and gorgeous addition to your already striking fireplace. The finishes of the mantel surround come in Nickel and Bronze and are sold exclusively at Menard’s and menards.com. Then, we positioned the spider to look like he is coming out of the wall. Muahahahahahaha!
We then started decorating our mantel with all of a witch’s prized possessions. We started with our taller decorations, like our bone-chilling black candelabra and our bronze lantern. We then filled in our mantel with our potion bottles, spell books, “the witch is in” sign, and a silver skull. We wrapped a purple and black boa around the decorations to fill in the top of the mantel, and then added tea light candles throughout the decorations to give that extra spine-chilling look. <
We then hung our witch’s hats from the ceiling to give our decorations depth by tying fishing line and attaching it to the ceiling. We used different sized hats at different depths and levels to make it more visually appealing.
For in front of the mantel, we got a couple of white pumpkins and covered them in the cutest pumpkin covers that are kind of like tights for pumpkins. They have cute designs on them, such as a creepy spider web and a classic diamond pattern. We then added a witch’s hat to the top of one of the pumpkins because, well, that’s where the witch left it.
We also added a caldron and a broom because it’s just not a witch’s mantel without those two staple items. We topped it off with a solid black boa along the base of the mantel to carry the color palette down to the floor.
Last but not least: the dry ice. We got our dry ice from our local Publix grocery store. Now, dealing with dry ice is a little tricky. To handle dry ice, you must use cloth or leather gloves. Oven mitts and towels will work as well. Do not store the dry ice in any airtight container, because it will expand and possibly explode. Try to use the dry ice as close to the time of purchase as possible.
We added a small amount of water to our potion bottles and caldron and then added the dry ice. We had to play with it a bit to make sure it worked properly, but in the end, it gave us the perfect eerie effect we were looking for.
Now let your imagination soar and get to work decorating your fireplace mantels for Halloween! Make sure you share your decorated mantels with us on facebook If you don’t have a mantel already, now is the perfect time! With the freezing cold temperatures right around the corner, nothing sounds better than curling up next to a warm fireplace that is decorated to perfection.

We then filled in our mantel with our potion bottles, spell books, “the witch is in” sign, and a silver skull. We wrapped a purple and black boa around the decorations to fill in the top of the mantel, and then added tea light candles throughout the decorations to give that extra spine-chilling look. <
We then hung our witch’s hats from the ceiling to give our decorations depth by tying fishing line and attaching it to the ceiling. We used different sized hats at different depths and levels to make it more visually appealing.
For in front of the mantel, we got a couple of white pumpkins and covered them in the cutest pumpkin covers that are kind of like tights for pumpkins. They have cute designs on them, such as a creepy spider web and a classic diamond pattern. We then added a witch’s hat to the top of one of the pumpkins because, well, that’s where the witch left it.
We also added a caldron and a broom because it’s just not a witch’s mantel without those two staple items. We topped it off with a solid black boa along the base of the mantel to carry the color palette down to the floor.
Last but not least: the dry ice. We got our dry ice from our local Publix grocery store. Now, dealing with dry ice is a little tricky. To handle dry ice, you must use cloth or leather gloves. Oven mitts and towels will work as well. Do not store the dry ice in any airtight container, because it will expand and possibly explode. Try to use the dry ice as close to the time of purchase as possible.
We added a small amount of water to our potion bottles and caldron and then added the dry ice. We had to play with it a bit to make sure it worked properly, but in the end, it gave us the perfect eerie effect we were looking for.
