Silver Holly Garland
For some silver pop on my holiday mantle, I've created a modern twist on the green garland. This silver holly garland is the perfect compliment to my antique mercury glass beads and silver glittered pinecones, giving my mantle a reason to shine for the holiday. Make your home shine with a silver holly garland of your own!
Silver is my favorite decor color for Christmas, so I made this garland using thick foil paper to create the holly leaves.
Veins and bends in the leaves allow light to catch the paper, giving the leaves a more realistic look.
To hang the garland, I wrapped it around my cast iron urns on each side of the mantle -- I suspect that that should be sturdy enough :)
Like the garland, my mercury glass strand of beads have been wrapped around two mercury glass candlesticks. This gives the beautiful effect of multiple swags on the mantle.
