Fake Fireplace Mantel Shelf image and description

Let’s consider our options. For the first DIY fake fireplace mantel project, you should use the MDF, which is quite inexpensive and often comes already prepared for various types of crafts, so it may have different finishes, colors and even patterns of reliefs on it. So, measure the length and possible width of the future mantel Then, search for some fake fireplace mantel ideas and choose one according to your preference, or you may also come up with your own project. Get as much MDF as you need. If I’m not mistaken, you may even ask the shop workers to cut it into the necessary pieces. Decide, if you’re going to paint your MDF or attach some accessories for detailing, and get those things. Instead of MDF you may use foamed plastic tiles or even cardboard. Don’t forget about glue or nails, depending on what you’ve decided to use to secure the pieces of the future mantel.
