Dazzling DIY: Disco Ball-themed Christmas Mantel Tutorial
The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to spread some festive cheer than by turning your mantel into a dazzling disco ball wonderland? Last year, my DIY journey began with a show-stopping Disco Ball Wreath, and this year, I’m taking it a step further with a complete Disco Ball-themed Christmas Mantel. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through creating a stunning mantel that combines the timeless charm of Christmas with the glitz and glamour of disco balls.
Materials Needed:
- Pine and Eucalyptus Garland
- Pine and Pinecone Garland
- Small Nails
- Bright Bottle Brush Trees
- Twinkle Lights (Battery-operated with remotes)
- Disco Ball Collection
- Ornament Holders
- Scroll Mirror
- Black Command Strip Metal Hook
Step 1: Create a Lush Base with Layered Garlands
Start by laying the foundation for your mantel. Take the Pine and Eucalyptus Garland and layer it across the mantel top. The eucalyptus adds a touch of freshness and elegance to the overall look. Next, lay the Pine and Pinecone Garland over the eucalyptus garland. This combination creates a fuller and more textured appearance, resembling a winter wonderland.
Secure the ends of the garlands with small nails at either end of the mantel. This not only keeps everything in place but also allows for easy adjustments.
Step 2: Add Some Greenery with Bottle Brush Trees
Sprinkle some holiday magic by strategically placing bright bottle brush trees along the entire length of the mantel. Vary the sizes and colors to create visual interest and depth. These miniature trees will complement the garlands, adding a touch of nature to your disco ball-themed display.
Step 3: Illuminate the Night with Twinkle Lights
Transform your mantel into a sparkling masterpiece by weaving battery-operated twinkle lights through the garlands. Choose lights with a remote control, providing you with eight different settings to set the perfect ambiance. Conceal the battery packs at either end of the mantel, tucking them under the branches to maintain a seamless and enchanting look.
Step 4: Disco Fever – Introduce the Disco Ball Collection
Now, for the pièce de résistance – the disco balls! Enhance the festive vibe by hanging disco balls from the garlands using ornament holders. Space them out evenly, ensuring a balanced and harmonious appearance. The reflective surfaces of the disco balls will catch the twinkling lights, creating a dazzling display that’s sure to captivate everyone.
Step 5: Reflect Beauty with a Scroll Mirror
Above the mantel, add a touch of sophistication with a beautiful scroll mirror. This not only amplifies the light in the room but also reflects the festive decor, creating a sense of depth and grandeur. The mirror acts as a stunning backdrop for the disco ball collection, elevating the overall aesthetic of your mantel.
Step 6: Hang the Disco Ball Wreath with Style
Remember that stunning Disco Ball Wreath from last year? It’s time to bring it back into the spotlight. Using a sleek black Command Strip Metal Hook, hang the wreath on the scroll mirror. The contrast of the black hook against the mirror adds a touch of modern elegance, showcasing your DIY wreath as a focal point of the mantel.
Congratulations, you’ve just transformed your mantel into a disco ball-themed Christmas masterpiece! The combination of natural elements, twinkling lights, and reflective disco balls creates a festive and glamorous ambiance that will leave your guests in awe.

Step 7: Elevate the Base with a Festive Touch
Don’t forget about the base of your mantel! Enhance the overall charm by placing a small tree at the center. Wrap a cozy white blanket around the base, giving it a winter-ready look, and nestle it within a stylish basket. To tie it all together, strategically position larger disco balls around the basket. This not only adds a finishing touch to the mantel but also creates a cohesive and well-balanced display.
