Sometimes you find a decoration that you just can't resist. When we spotted these stems of pretty beaded grapes, they seemed destined for a fall mantle.

Setting them at an angle provided the perfect place to highlight one more lovely piece of beaded fruit, elevated on a silver compote.

Grape Cluster
Mantle Decoration
• 2 - 12" stems of beaded grape clusters
• 1 large beaded fruit (apple or pear)
• silver compote, glass vase, or other container
• (optional) topiaries, potted plants, vases, candles

Place one large beaded fruit (elevated in a compote or vase) at the center of the mantle. On either side set grape clusters at an angle.

To decorate each end of the mantle, use matched pairs of topiaries, potted plants, vases, or candles.
