Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween Mantel

October 19, 2022 by Kellie

Hello my little Pretties! This post is entirely for fun and really a last minute thing to share. But I’m absolutely in love with my Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween mantel, and I thought it would be fun to share with all of you.

Double DOuble Toil and Trouble Halloween Mantel

I have three favorite things about this Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween Mantel.
1. I love it when my candles are lit and turned on in the evening. It’s so dramatic.
2. The only thing I purchased “new” for it was the vintage witch poster.
3. Everything else (other than the pumpkins) I shopped the house or our yard for. Which totally made it so much better.

Double Toil Witch Halloween Mantel

This poster (which was a digital download from here) of witches cooking was the perfect image to go along with MacBeth’s famous quote of:

“Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.”

Obviously, I shortened the quote for my chalkboard art. But you get the idea!
Doesn’t this quote go perfectly with the witches cooking in the vintage poster?

Double Double Toil and Trouble Mantel for Halloween

I wrote the chalkboard out myself. Not sure if it’s all proportioned out correctly, but hopefully it makes a statement. I’ve always loved Lolly Jane’s printable version of this quote and how they styled it. So basically I mimicked their layout of the words on my chalkboard sign. So head to their blog if you want a printable version of this quote. It’s perfect for Halloween!

As for this Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween Mantel is everything I love into one vignette. Most things on here were thrifted, made by me, or shopped for around my house. That is always a win in my book! Our fireplace for now is a non-working fireplace, so having candles in it is the next best thing to having a fire going inside. Hope you all enjoyed it! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
