Halloween Mantel Decorating with Bats and Crows

I always enjoy Halloween mantel decorating each year and this year it’s simple black bats and crows.

Halloween decorating is fun because I get to use black! Decorating my mantel with flying black bats in cloches and feathery crows and a few spooky touches is a classy way of decorating for Halloween and always kid friendly.

Today I’m joining a classy Halloween tour hosted by my friend Kristin of Ella Claire so be sure to visit all the wonderful Halloween tours at the end of this post.

I started my Halloween mantel decorating with the free printable bat that I added to my collection of glass cloches. What I love most about the look is that the bats seem to be flying around in the cloches!

I just shared yesterday this fun feather and crow Halloween wreath that was the easiest DIY project I’ve ever made (and the items can be reused again – bonus!).

I love decorating with impact but on a budget so dollar store items like the spooky tablecloth and crows were the perfect addition.

Cloches:

The spooky black tablecloth was draped along the back wall and hung over a mirror which tilted it slightly and I liked how it looked a bit more spooky like that.

I purchased the canadablra from Antique Farmhouse. They have the white one for sale right now. You have to check back often when items come in stock.

  5. Happy Wednesday Jamie, Like you, Halloween is not “my jam”. That being said, I’m a girl who adores anything under a cloche and the way you have suspended your little bats “under glass” captivated me in an instant! Using all black decorations against stark white is a unique and unexpected color combination for a Halloween display; you have used it artfully with the black spider web lace, feathered wreath and perfectly perched spooky crows. That candelabra is magic and the way you’ve used your mirror as the ” Halloween star on top” is genius! Your creativity is always a surprise and in this case, a welcome Halloween treat. 🙂

    1. Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Judy. Halloween’s not my jam either (hard to believe with these posts, I’m sure) but it’s fun to decorate with black once a year!
      Hugs, Jamie

  12. This is so gorgeous and totally my style! Which dollar store had the crows and tablecloth (I live in the same area as you)?

    1. Hi Brianna,
      There was an independent dollar store in Park Royal years ago where I got the tablecloth & crows. They do have different ones at places like Dollar Tree but I noticed Michael’s has similar.
      Hugs, Jamie
