Rustic Christmas Mantel

This post is sponsored by Bindle & Brass Trading Company, but all opinions are my own. I’m so excited to be sharing with you my Rustic Christmas Mantel. I love how this year’s Christmas mantel came together. Lots of cinnamon scented pinecones and snowy details turns this Christmas mantel into a rustic, winter wonderland.

Rustic Christmas Mantel

The kind folks at Bindle and Brass Trading Company sent me a variety of their products to decorate with. The top of my mantel is filled with their Classic Cinnamon Pinecones. The scent is amazing as you come through the front door.

I created a couple snowy pinecones using the same method I did with my Snowy Pine Cone Cluster. I just love the sparkle that you get with that twinkly white on the pinecones.

Some small Christmas trees with their bases wrapped in burlap and a cute Christmas ribbon flank either side of the mantel.

In the center I have our furry, white stockings all hung in a row.

Rustic Snowy Branches

I think my favorite part of my Christmas mantel area is the Rustic Snowy Branches! I used Bindle & Brass’ brooms to create these. They sent me the most amazing scented brooms: Apple Splendor Broom, Pumpkin Spice Broom, and Classic Cinnamon Broom. I used one of each to create the snowy branches.

Here’s what I used to create the snowy branches:

Bindle & Brass’ scent brooms in The Maxi and The Broom sizes
white glue
epsom salt
sponge paint brush

I used a sponge paint brush to gently brush white glue onto the brooms. I did one broom at a time. Once the glue was applied I sprinkled the glued area with epsom salt, until the glue area was coated.

Repeat on each broom until you get the desired look you’re after.

On the Maxi brooms, I added some faux berries, which I adhered with a hot glue gun.

The results were beautiful. It gave a frosted, winter look to the amazing, scented brooms.

I placed the snowy brooms into a galvanized bucket to complete that rustic look. I just love how the Bindle & Brass products added that great, rustic look I wanted.
