This is my Modern Rustic Easter Mantel decor that I made for Easter this year.

Modern Rustic Easter Mantel

I like to switch out my decorations and do something unique each holiday. I do make use of what I have, but I often add to it. 

Modern Rustic Easter Mantel

This year, I added a few floral stems that I dried from my yard, Bill button floral stems, vases, candle holders, a carrot banner, carrots and small bunny figurines.

While that sounds like quite a bit to add, I made and/or purchased these items very inexpensively.

I put both the Billy Button stems and dried floral stems in the watering vase for added height and texture at the end of the mantel.

Floral foam 

To make the bunny tails stand up straight out of the Aspen candle stick holders, I stuffed them with a tiny bit of floral foam. I had the foam on hand and just broke off a little from blocks of foam I had and stuffed it in. Then I added the bunny tails. The floral foam held the bunny tails well.

I did this because I just thought the variety of mixing up candles and dried floral in the Aspen vases was a nice touch.

That’s it for the supply list for this Easter mantel.

I found things I already had (Easter basket, DIY Aspen candlestick holders with candles, bunny tails, dried floral, and a clear vase).

How to Put together this Modern Rustic Easter Mantel

Modern Rustic Easter Mantel can be done in 15 minutes

I arranged the items, vases, bunnies, floral stems and candle sticks as I thought looked good, I tried to create different heights, textures and groups of varying items.

To keep it modern looking I used just a few springs of floral stems in the small vases. 

For added interest, I added a statement piece that was to scale (slightly larger than the rest of the items on the mantel) on each end of the mantel. This was the small easter basket on the left and the watering vase on the right.

My daughter and I made a carrot bunting and hung that on the wooden mantel beam.

Modern Rustic Easter Mantel setup in 15 minutes

This mantel came together in about 15 minutes once I had all of the supplies ready and made.

It was really easy to assemble, it just took a little time purchasing everything I wanted to use and the making of the bunting.

That’s how I made it.
