Idea 16: String a Pumpkin Garland Across the Mantel
If you have a mantel, a simple garland of small faux pumpkins (or felt pumpkin shapes) strung on twine is the easiest fall mantel ever. Drape it in a gentle swag — higher at the ends, dipping in the middle — and let a few pieces hang slightly lower for movement. Felt ball-and-pumpkin garlands on Etsy run $15–25 and look handmade in the best way. No mantel? The same garland works draped over a large mirror, along a bookshelf, or across the top of a window. One garland, endless spots.
