This year my Fall Mantel is SUPER SIMPLE.  By far my favorite part is the ruffle banner that I made.

Simply buy 1-2 yards of orange felt.  Cut it into 2-3 inch wide strips.  The goal is to be consistent.  If you choose to cut the strips 3 inches wide, cut them all at 3 inches wide.

Use a simple needle and any kind of thread to create a ruffle.  (see how I ran the string through the middle of each ruffle?) I didn’t measure or anything, just eyeballed it.  I love the way it turned out!  Make your own before Thanksgiving!Have a great Thursday!
