I am so excited to share a fun farmhouse-inspired DIY today. This spring mantel garland took no time at all to make (like seriously 10 minutes) and looks so perfect hanging on my mantle.

As you know, last week I completed decorating our farmhouse summer mantle. It was such a fun challenge and I love how it turned out. I was so scared to decorate with bright colors!!!

DIY farmhouse-inspired lace + burlap + peach blossom garland. Easy DIY craft to bring farmhouse style and fixer upper style to your home decor!

The rustic banner was one of the first ideas I had in mind when I was asked to participate in the challenge. You see, I have a giant TV mounted right in the middle of my mantle. Great for watching TV, but not so great stylistically.

I needed something that would tie either side of the TV together so that it looked like one cohesive and styled mantle.

That’s where the garland banner comes in!

Step 1. Cut garland supplies to equal length

After I pulled some of the peach stems off of the garland, I started cutting my lace and ribbon to an equal length.

This is going to be highly variable depending on how long you want the banner to be and how long your selected floral stems are. I cut mine to about 12 inches each.

Step 2. Pick an order for the spring mantel garland

Once everything was cut, I arranged a set of all my supplies in the order I wanted them to hang on the banner. You don’t technically have to arrange everything in a repeating pattern, but, I thought this would look best.

I tried to keep everything equally spaced. So, not having 2 lace pieces not to each other, 2 burlap pieces together, etc. I also tried to keep varying widths of lace/burlap so that there weren’t two chunky burlap pieces together or two tiny lace pieces either.

Here’s the pattern I decided looked best:

Step 3. Cut twine to length

Once I was satisfied with my layout, I cut a piece of twine that fit the width of my mantle. This again will be different for you depending on where you want to hang it.

Step 4. Decorate the spring mantel garland

I started towards the middle of the twine.

First, fold your lace/burlap in half and place it over the twine, having about an inch hanging over the top of the twine.

Then, loop the longer ends under the twine.

Finally, string the longer ends through the loop and pull tightly to complete the knot! Keep in mind, if you don’t pull too tightly the lace/burlap can still be moved. {Hint hint, do that, I learned the hard way!!!}

Step 5. Attach floral stems to the garland twine

I used floral wire to attach the peach stems then cut off about 3 inches of thin floral wire and used a completely haphazard wrapping method to attach them.

Using floral wire is great way to secure flowers to pretty much everything for this spring mantel garland

I wrapped the floral wire around and around and around. How’s that for a precise method?? haha

I repeated the pattern 5 times total then hung it up on the mantle!!

I simply used tape to attach the banner. It’s not very heavy so I only needed two pieces per side. I made sure to center the banner on the mantle, too.

When hanging this spring garland mantel get it centered and then trim the lengths to create a uniform look

It looks like a hot mess in that picture, huh?

Step 6. Trim up spring garland on the mantle

Last step: trim all the ribbons to an equal length. I used the length of the peach blossom stems as a guide.

Ahhh, much much better!

Any spring garland works well with flowers to ring in the new season and is a good contrast with burlap

I am completely loving the final result. The banner accomplished my goal of creating a unified mantle and looks rustic and vintage at the same time. Plus, who doesn’t love a craft that takes 10 minutes!?

peach blossoms are a great flower to use for nearly any DIY that brings that farmhouse look

I hope you love this easy farmhouse-inspired DIY. Where do you think you could use it in your space? Think it could be updated to fit into fall or winter decor??

Wishing you a joyful day!
