Mantels with String Candles from RAZ

This mantel decoration by RAZ is an evergreen garland and Antiqued Lighted Pillar candles. The candle string is made of glass and candles measure 6" x 3 and 7" x 3". They are electric and all connected by a 40" cord. Candle string is from the Welcome Home This arrangement could be done using fresh greenery also. And essentially no heat generated by the candles)) Can't wait for the string candles to arrive! We have several styles coming in and I think they will be a great addition to holiday decorating. They could be used in clusters around an arrangement, placed on top of boxes or risers for more of a staggered height.

The mantel from the Winter Palace collection, uses two strands of candle lights staggered among a frosted garland

The Antiqued Glass strand is used again in this Welcome Home Collection. This mantel is very cheery with old fashioned look paper chain garland (this one is actually plastic). The one is have coming in is actually red, green and gold and will be arriving any day now. If you use an artificial garland, you can always wire in some fresh sprigs of evergreen to give extra bulk and height to your creation. Plus you have the extra touch of the nice cedar or pine smell. I love the old fashioned Santa prints above the mantel. Gives such a homey touch and one that children will love.

Again, the Antique Glass Pillar Candle String is used in the Black and Bling collection. It blends in great with additional glass Halloween candles and the feather collections.

Hope these ideas from RAZ will get you to thinking early about your mantel this year. And, these same creations can be applied to a tabletop, desk, coffee table, dresser.....they're not just for fireplaces))
