No where to hang stockings? Want a focal point in your living room? But don’t want to tackle a huge project or home renovation?
We got you.
For about $50 in lumber, you can build your own faux mantle in an afternoon!
This is an easy beginner project that does not require fancy tools or lots of woodworking experience. Just cut and screw together, nail boards to the front!
Customization Ideas
This is a very easy project to customize. Here’s a few ideas:
- Add an interesting back, pallet wood, shiplap, or a faux stone
- Use reclaimed wood or scrap wood on the front facing pieces for a rustic look that saves money
- Add moulding under the top for a fancier look
- Hooks for stockings across the top to make hanging stockings easy
- Try a rustic stain to add a farmhouse feel to your home
