I’m pretty excited to share my Fourth of July Mantel with you today. I’ve clearly become obsessed with folded fan stars, and these ones came from the dollar store. To attach them to the mirror I glued them to a piece of cardboard and attached that to the mirror frame:

The other dollar store finds are the garland (I’ll share a tutorial on that one next week) and the glittered “America” sign:

I reused my painted wooden stars from last year and threw in a vase set I picked up on clearance at Ikea.

I shared my new rug on Instagram a while back, and when you combine that with my red chair, the whole room screams “Fourth of July!”

And if you can’t get enough Red, White and Blue mantels, be sure to browse though the 15 patriotic mantles I shared with you earlier this week.
