Boo! MantelYou Will Need:
Branch
Black spray paint
Newspaper or cardboard
Orange lights (small LED work great as well as battery operated)
Crows or black birds (a black owl would be great too)
Candle holders
Orange candles
Boo! Optional painted wood saying (or other Halloween sayings)
Black twist ties, zip ties or black floral tape.

Directions:
01. Start by finding a branch. I would look for one that has a top branch extended up for tallest part.

02. Place cardboard or newspaper in a well ventilated area. Spray paint one side at a time, following spray paint instructions. Spray in light coats and be sure to spray both sides. Wait to dry. I would allow 48 hours for paint smell to subside.

03. Add orange Halloween lights to branch. You can secure the lights to the branch with black twist ties, zip ties or black floral tape. Battery operated lights work well as there is no need for a cord.

04. Add crows to various locations on branch. Or secure an owl to the branch.

05. Accent with candle holders/candles as well as Boo! or other Halloween art.

Note in the picture, the hanging spiders (off the candles) can be found at Lillian Vernon.
