How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hi there friends! I hope your week has been going great thus far. This one has been quite productive. I have been tackling things on my to-do list that I can manage at my parents’ house. I updated a few things on my website that were in desperate (and embarrassing) need of updating. So I am really happy that I was able to check those things off my list. 

I also was able to find a spot (on my mom’s floor) to put together a lovely wreath perfect for Fall. 

I thought this would be a great time to share how I put together a wreath in case you have ever had any trouble figuring out how to assemble one. It’s really simple and you don’t need to have an excessive amount of greenery to do so. 

As always you can watch the video version of this tutorial on my YouTube channel. 

The first thing you will need is a wreath form. I like to use the grapevine wreaths at Hobby Lobby. They used to be about $4, now they are running at $6. 

I have seen these on occasion at Dollar Tree but they do run smaller and a bit flimsier.

Next, you will need a filler for the background. I chose these 2 leaf bushes from Walmart. They are $4 each. You can use some from Dollar Tree, but I did find these really large and full of leaves and going the Dollar Tree route would have given me less foliage to work with and I would have spent more money making up for it by buying more. 

2 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

I wanted to include berries and I only bought 2 in the following colors. I also had one white berry bush (not shown) that I had in my stash already. 

 

3 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

Since it was a fall wreath I wanted to be sure I included pumpkins. I found these cute braided raffia pumpkins at Dollar Tree that I wanted to use (a total of 3).

Note: It is always best to go with odd numbers for something like this.

I also had a few more smaller pumpkins to add that I will later show as well. 

4 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

The first thing you need to do is cut the leaf stems down to smaller picks. I cut each stem down to two since there were 2 sets of leafs on each stem.

Since only one of the leaf picks would have the top “stopper” to prevent the leaves from falling off, I added a dollop of hot glue to the tip of the second pick to make sure the leaves did not fall off of it. 


5 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

Next, you want to insert your picks.

I like to apply a bit of hot glue to the ends of the picks and then space them out evenly along the “face” of the wreath. To give the wreath a beautiful cohesive look, I insert all of the picks in the same direction. 

6 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

Once my first line up is done I begin to fill in the remaining gaps with the leaf picks until they are all used up. 

7 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

Next, I like to add the berry picks. I place them throughout the wreath first without hot glue. This “dry run” let’s me place them evenly along the wreath. Once I am happy with their spacing I remove them, add hot glue to the pick tips and then reinsert them. 

RELATED: Kirkland’s Wreath Dupe 


8 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

I do the same thing with the white picks. I only had one white pick bush so I had to space these out farther from each other. 

And as you see, you don’t need a ton of each item. When you start with the larger foliage as a base, you can reduce the amount of items you need as you continue to layer them on. 

9 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

Afterwards, I added the larger pumpkins. I started off by cutting the stems down. Then since the pumpkins were heavier and bulkier than the rest of the pieces I was adding to the wreath I had to make sure that they did not fall off. To do this I added hot glue to both the stem and the bottom of the pumpkin. This was so the stem would adhere to the inside to the wreath when inserted and then the area sitting on top of the wreath would also adhere to the face of it. 

13 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

I had 3 off white sweater pumpkin clips from Dollar Tree which I had to reinforce with hot glue since they were kind of loose. Once that was taken care of, I added hot glue to the “mouths” of the clips so when they clamped down on the grapevines they would adhere onto them as well. 

10 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

I placed these randomly throughout, keeping them similar distances from each other. 

11 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

Next, I had some random greenery  leftover from previous projects that I wanted to use up so I placed them throughout as well. This also added a new texture and a new layer of color. 

If you like creating your own floral pieces for your home, you know you will always have extra pieces so when you have the ability to use some up, definitely do it!

12 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

The final step was to add tiny faux leather pumpkins (also from Dollar Tree) to the wreath. I used some of the stems from the large leaf bushes to create picks for them. I inserted them and adhered them on with hot glue. 

Then I added them throughout the wreath in cute little nooks. 

18 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

And that was it! All this can be done on one hour tops! Even if you’re a beginner. 

I absolutely love all of the layers, colors and textures. 

15 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

I placed this on my mom’s front door to take photos of it and I don’t believe I will be getting it back 😉. 

16 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall WreathI think the green adds something a little unique to the wreath and since not everyone experiences an actual “Fall” where they live it’s a nice compromise when trees outside may be green still. 

Vertical Blog Images 683x1024 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

As you can seen there is enough foliage throughout to cover the grapevine wreath yet still leave enough of it to peek through a few areas. 

14 1 300x225 How To Make a Perfect Fall Wreath

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and if wreath making has ever been a little daunting perhaps now you have a little more confidence to try it out. It’s all about layering, proper spacing and adding different colors and textures as you go.

20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

Hey friends! Fall will be here before we know it and I thought it would be great to share some Fall ideas that would get you inspired and looking forward to the new season. 

I have rounded up my best of the best Fall DIYs. This is a compilation of different Fall styles and colors that will work with a variety of different tastes. Some are really inexpensive and easy to make while others are a little more time consuming and require a few different supplies. Either way, they are all really easy to duplicate if you follow the steps. 

I will include links to original posts or videos so that if you are interested in recreating them you can get the more detailed tutorials. And along with this list I have included the link to the video version of this round up in case watching is more your style (simply scroll to the end).

Each project will have a quick overview of all of the steps that took to make them.

Link to watch the entire video will be at that bottom of the post. Enjoy! 

Here they are in no particular order:

  1. Look for Less Wreath 

This is probably my favorite wreath of all time. It was a wreath that I had recreated (from Kirkland’s) for one of my Look for Less Challenge videos. It’s different in that it doesn’t have all of the traditional colors for Fall, but that’s just what makes me like it even more. 

I used a lot of greenery that was leftover from previous projects and I painted the berries and pumpkins to match my color scheme instead of buying new ones. 

9 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

Another cool fact about this wreath is that it was featured in one of Country Sampler’s Farmhouse Style Magazines last year. 

IMG 4516 1024x1024 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

It was featured in their “Wreaths around the Seasons” article and it was the very first one they shared. I was so honored.

Behind the scenes fun fact: I had painted my door a light blue since making the wreath and I reshot the wreath so that it would look better with the blue background for this feature. 

IMG 4517 300x300 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

Watch the original video here. 

2. Dollar Tree Centerpiece

Sometimes, you just need something simple and inexpensive. I used Dollar Tree jars and a Dollar Tree tray for this. They were originally clear glass, but I thought a solid white would be better. The tray was silver and didn’t go with my color scheme for fall so I used a rose gold spray paint I had on hand to change it up. 

I added some raffia, wooden mini leaves and some florals from Michael’s that I had gotten on sale and I made this cute centerpiece. 

 

18 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

Sometimes, it really doesn’t take much to create something beautiful. Watch how it all came together here. 

3. Raffia Pumpkins

This next one is a great solution for your old and tired pumpkins that you may have lying around (and have probably thought it was time to get rid of them).

Don’t do it! 

Do this instead. 

Take some raffia (I used a hula skirt from Hobby Lobby’s birthday party section) and wrap the raffia around the pumpkins. You can use multi0colored raffia as well for more dimension. Make sure to remove the stems before you do this and you can reuse them once you’re done or make your own with air dry clay. 


10 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

You will be glad you didn’t throw these away! Check out the step-by-step tutorial on how to make them here. 

4. Pumpkin topiary 

Over the years I have enjoyed collaborating with other YouTubers and one of the challenges I like to participate in is the Mystery Box Challenge. The topiary below was a result of one of those challenges. I had to create something with hardware rope, a halfway completed pumpkin DIY and a curtain rod. 

I say this came out pretty good and you would never guess it was made out of random pieces and leftovers from my craft stash. 

2 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

It really goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it and allow yourself to really stretch the abilities of what you have on hand. 

Watch the full process here. 

5. Tablescape 

I don’t know about you, but I love a good tablescape. It can really elevate a meal experience and what better time to do so than during the holidays. Instead of buying a tablecloth, I purchased plaid fabric from Walmart. 

I stacked a DIY stand over a regular white cake stand and I added Dollar Tree pumpkins, candles, and foliage throughout. 

12 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

I was going through a pastel phase here for Fall and I decided to paint some of my existing pumpkins to create my color scheme. I just love how light and airy it feels. 

And to balance out the feminine touches I did use my DIY galvanized chargers. 

Watch how it all came together here. 

6. Large Pumpkin Sign

Sometimes you need a statement piece… a large statement piece… like this pumpkin patch sign. 

I used the Dollar Tree unfinished wood pumpkin plaques and painted them in my color scheme that year. We had some leftover furring strips and panels so I created the large frame. And with the help of my Cricut I made the decals to apply.  

21 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

This sign looks like something you could buy and it really stands out since the pumpkins give it a 3D effect. 

Check out the entire process here. 

7. Harvest Painting 

As most of you know, I like to dabble with hand painting here and there. This sign was just me trying to see if I can pull off some painted pumpkins. I think I did pretty good for the first try. 

Fun fact: This sign is actually double-sided and it has a hand-painted Spring wreath on the other side. You can see it here. 

5 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

Something like this is perfect on a shelf and can be brought out year after year. I added a cute Harvest decal that I made with my Cricut to finish it off and I love how simple yet pretty it turned out. 

Learn how to make it here. 

8. Kirkland’s Dupe

You know I love a good dupe and this one is no exception! I created this piece when I was inspired by one in Kirkland’s and the result was loved by all. Those look like stitches on the leather piece but they are actually burn marks from my wood burning tool!

Turns out you can burn leather beautifully! 

8 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

The best part about this is that other than the leather piece, everything came from Dollar Tree. Check out the step-by-step here. 

9. Stuffed Pumpkins 

If you love to sew (which I do) this one’s for you. I am sure you have some leftover fabric somewhere and that’s really all you need for this one (along with some polyfill or some stuffing from an old pillow). 

All you need to do is cut out some pumpkin patterns on coordinating fabrics. Create some little patches and sew them together leaving a little opening to stuff them to create these mini-stuffed pumpkins. 

1 683x1024 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

I added some yarn to the stems and that was it! 

Bonus: you can totally do this without a sewing machine and hand stitch them too! 

Watch how easy they come together here. 

10. Yarn Pumpkins 

If you liked the raffia pumpkins you will love this idea as well. This is anther way you can update those old pumpkins. Simply use yarn from Dollar Tree! 

I wanted to recreate the look of those knitted pumpkins without the knitting. So I wrapped yarn around this pumpkin.

You will have to make holes at the top and bottom of the pumpkin to tuck the yarn ends in since yarn is thicker than raffia and will bunch up at the top and bottom. You don’t want that to happen because then it won’t look like a pumpkin and it won’t stand upright. 

4 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

You could simply just wrap it in yarn, but the key here is to add braided yarn pieces to give it that extra detail and knitted look. This one is supper easy and you are going to want to make more than one! 

Here is the step-by-step. 

11. Fall Leaf Art 

Are you the “I need something really easy” DIY kind of person? Here is one for you. It won’t get simpler than this. 

You will need Dollar Tree 11 x 14 inch frames for this. I painted them a metallic black to make the frames look better but that is optional. Then take a raffia leaf also from Dollar Tree. You can paint them a metallic bronze or leave as is. Use a thick white matte to frame it out and place the leaf in the center. 

Put the frame back on and viola, instant Fall art. 

15 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

It’s simple and cheap! I created two and stacked them on the wall next to a window. They looked so good. 

Watch the step-by-step here. 

12. Traditional Wreath 

If traditional colors are more your style, you will appreciate this one. I made this from Dollar Tree and Walmart stems. And I even added some Dollar Tree mini pumpkins.

You can always leave it with just the foliage or you can add this little sign that says “hello Fall”. 

6 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

If you want to see how I like to add the pieces of foliage on and in what order, watch here. 

13. Fall Houses 

This one was one of my very first Fall DIYs and still one of my favorites. I made this FALL sign when Dollar Tree first came out with the little shadow box houses. They don’t sell them anymore however, I have a pattern and video that will show you to build your own. 

I created little inserts for the houses with foam board and cardstock and then used berries to spell out the words. 

I decided to cut out a pumpkin for the letter “A” and I added fairy lights behind it so it would light up at night. 

13 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

I thought this was a really unique DIY. Here is the full tutorial if you wish to make them here. 

Bonus: You can even change them out for Christmas and I share that in the video as well. 

14. “Garlic” Fall Pumpkin Sign

Okay, so I call this garlic because after I painted them they looked more like garlic than pumpkins. BUT, they were supposed to be pumpkins. LOL 

This is a great way to use those pumpkins that Dollar Tree sells strung up on ribbon. I think this is more elegant. All you need is 4 of these that you can paint in the color you wish. Glue them onto a piece of wood and add decal letters that spell FALL. 

You can use pre-made decals or make them yourself on a Cricut. 

16 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

It’s an easy way to make a stand up sign using those pumpkins that you would never hang anyways. 

Tutorial is found here. 

15. Toile Chargers

Okay, so full disclosure… this was a Spring DIY. But in my defense, these would look AMAZING in a Fall tablescape. These were made out of Dollar Tree gold chargers and transfers from Iron Orchid Designs. The toile has that perfect old world charm that elevates anything it’s put on. 

Plus the print is neutral and will go with any color scheme. The key here is to make sure to seal them with a great sealer, this way they will last a long time. 

3 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

These chargers were another fave of mine and totally worth the time and effort it took to make them. They have such a high end look to them too. 

Here is the full tutorial. 

16. Hello Pumpkin Sign

This is another fun fall sign (one that my mom loved so much, she now has it at her house, ha!). 

I created this out of a leftover piece of wood that I had. I stained it to the color of choice and added a few ticking stripes to the left. Then I used some ribbon and a pumpkin that I painted from Dollar Tree to further embellish it. 

After I created this nice “hello pumpkin” decal and added it to the sign. 

7 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

Simple, yet pretty. I love the end result! 

Here is the tutorial for this one. 

17. Harvest Sign

Here is a sign that doesn’t require decals. This one is again made from small pumpkins from Dollar Tree that I painted for my color scheme. The crate board backing can be found in the unfinished wood section at Michael’s. 

For the crate that the pumpkins are “in” I used large popsicles and cut them down to make the crate pattern. I added a raffia bow and the metal “harvest” sign also from Dollar Tree and that was it.

11 20 Inspiring Fall DIYsSuper easy and totally festive for Fall. 

Watch how to make it here. 

18. Pumpkin Candleholder  

You are probably familiar with those not-so-pretty orange foam pumpkins at Dollar Tree. For the longest time they were the only options at Dollar Tree so we had to get really creative with them. 

For this one, I cut out the top, and painted it white. Then with some acrylic paint and some small nozzles that I put on my bottles, I basically piped out some floral patterns (freehand) onto the pumpkin. 

I let it dry and added a glossy topcoat to make it look like ceramic. 

 

17 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

I used the hole to insert a blue candle and that was it! This was the perfect pumpkin candleholder to enjoy those wonderful fall scents. 

Watch how I did it here. 

19. Burlap Box Centerpiece 

A while ago I created box from foam board and I covered it with burlap. This box has been with me for a few years now and I give it makeovers depending on the season. If you have a simple rectangular box, you can do the same. 

Simply add foliage of your choosing and include some Dollar Tree pumpkins. 

14 20 Inspiring Fall DIYs

And if you add potpourri throughout, your arrangement will smell so good for the holidays as well.

Watch how to put it together here.  

20. Succulent Pumpkins 

For the final DIY I am sharing another way to update those old pumpkins. Take an old pumpkin and cut out a hole at the top. You can paint it or leave as is. Next, add some floral foam and insert some succulents. 

Add some moss to cover up any foam showing through and that’s it!

How To Update Old Pumpkins

Update Old Pumpkins How To Update Old Pumpkins

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Every year around this time we take out our fall decor and spruce our homes bringing in change. And all throughout stores there are so many beautiful things we can buy to add on to our current home decor. The thing is that it’s nice to follow new trends and change things up. But it’s also nice to save money. So how can we do both? 

Revamp your outdated decor! 

Yep! Mind-blowing, I know. 🤪

But it really is so easy and even fun, plus you save money so why not?!

Just look at the image below. These are some of the pumpkins I used to decorate this year. They are old and outdated pumpkins that I revamped to bring in a new look for fall this year. And it didn’t cost me more than $5 of supplies I already had in my stash. 

Update Old Pumpkins 16 How To Update Old Pumpkins

So here is what I did… I took out some old pumpkins that I wasn’t using. This one is actually a Halloween one, but I don’t decorate the inside of the house for Halloween. 

Full disclosure, my house is decorated for Christmas in October. #YouTubelife 

You can always visit my channel and subscribe here. 

Update Old Pumpkins 1 How To Update Old Pumpkins

I had some yarn from Dollar Tree. I found these a few weeks ago and I really liked their colors and their quality. The store has really stepped up. 

Update Old Pumpkins 2 How To Update Old Pumpkins

So the first thing I did was remove the stem and make a hole on the top and bottom of the pumpkin.

Then, I began cutting small bunches of yarn and applying them with hot glue. I cut the ends and wrapped them over and into the inside of the pumpkin, tucking the ends away.

Then I just repeated. I kept adding little bunches making sure to keep the yarn straight and covering the parts of the pumpkins that protrude outward. 

Update Old Pumpkins 4 How To Update Old Pumpkins

Once most of the pumpkin was covered and all that was left to cover was the inside creases I began creating braids out of the bunches of yarn.

And then I added them to the areas where the creases were still exposed. 

Update Old Pumpkins 6 How To Update Old Pumpkins

Finally, when the pumpkin was complete, I took the glue gun and inserted it at the top. Most of the yarn had covered the hole and the heat helped open it back up so that I could put the stem back in.

After I put the stem back, I was done!

Perfection! I love the added detail of the braids. And the green color is so pretty and fresh. 

Plus the yarn and braids give it a cozy feel.

As well as the topiary I just created which I shared here.

I tried so many different techniques to update some more of my pumpkins.

Here I used sticky beading from Dollar Tree and raffia from a hula skirt.

I decided to stencil this one. The stencil bled a bit, but it kinda gave it a water color feel. 

Update Old Pumpkins 11 How To Update Old Pumpkins

I used a two-tone yarn for this small pumpkin and a mini gourd for the stem.

And I used chenille yarn for this one and wrapped it horizontally to give it a different look.

DIY Pumpkin Topiary

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY  DIY Pumpkin TopiaryDIY Pumpkin Topiary

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hey friends! Every couple of months my dear friend Courtney at Creative on the Cheap hosts a Mystery Box Challenge on her channel and invites several YouTubers to join in on the fun. 

This is what the challenge entails. We shop for another Youtuber and we are supposed to buy things we can DIY with. Courtney picks the store we shop at and in that box we are supposed to have 8-10 items and 2 “challenge” items. The challenge items are things we wouldn’t normally craft with (nor would want to). 

This month we were to shop at Wal Mart and we were to include 2 challenge items. Plus, this month there was a twist. We were to send them an unfinished DIY project that we never finished ourselves so that they could complete it. 

We are to film ourselves opening the box for the first time so we can capture our reactions as we see the items (they are hysterical). You can watch the entire video unfold below. 

 

 

In today’s post, I will be sharing one of the six DIYs I created from the box, so I hope you enjoy! 

Natalee from Designed to the Nines, sent me my box and among the things in it was a new large pumpkin, a pumpkin she tried to DIY previously (her unfinished item), some rope and a tension rod (one of the challenge items) as well as a greenery bush. I will be using all of these to create my topiary. 

As you can see the unfinished pumpkin had words painted on it which I chose to paint over with one of my favorite chalk paint colors, Sandstone. I used it on these candleholders as well. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 1 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

Afterwards, I added some metallic green paint to the top with a sponge brush. The other new pumpkin that Natalee had sent me also had this detail and I wanted to tie the two together. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 2 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

While that dried, I started working with the rope. I like getting these gift boxes at Dollar Tree often because I am always using them to make planter crates. They are perfect for them. 

I thought I would wrap the rope around it to create a square basket. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 3 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

It took quite a bit of patience and the entire rope, but I wrapped it completely. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 4 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

Next I took apart the tension rod. I only needed one of the pieces. This rod would hold my topiary in place.  I also added some floral foam to the basket and secured with hot glue. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 5 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

Afterwards, I removed the pumpkin stem from the larger pumpkin and then I took my hot glue gun and melted holes on the top and bottom of it. This would help the rod go through easier. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 6 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

I inserted the rod the larger pumpkin and down into the floral foam.

In order to fill in the gaps underneath the pumpkin, I used stems from the greenery bush.

Then I did the same thing with the green pumpkin. 

DIY PUMPKIN TOPIARY 9 DIY Pumpkin Topiary

I used the large pumpkin’s original stem on the green one and that was it! The topiary was complete!

I love how it turned out! Who would have thought that these were random items that were sent to me in a box?!?!?

It looks perfect in front of my fireplace. What do you think?

I will say sometimes this Mystery Box can be extremely challenging and sometimes projects like these make it all worthwhile. This is definitely a keeper! 

As always share with your friends and don’t forget to check out the rest of the video to see what else I got in my box…. one word… animal. 😱

Hello everyone! Happy last day of August! Can you believe that Fall is already around the corner?  Well, I am excited to be back to my regular program and I thought I would share an update to my living space along with some fall decorating. 

What’s even more exciting is that I have a chance for you all to win an amazing Fall Makeover Giveaway  – the details are at the end of this post (giveaway is now closed-thank you to all who entered). 

My living area has been a mash up of random things and frankly I have not shared much of it since I have been a little embarrassed. This is literally my main wall and well… it’s not cute.  

Ever since we moved in I have been grateful for a real wood-burning fireplace, but not at all enchanted by the orange brick and unnecessarily high mantel that makes the ceiling feel a lot closer to the ground. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 15 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

Let’s face it, it was an eye sore and no matter what I did in the space, it always looked awkward. Something else I haven’t liked is having a ridiculously large flat screen.  It sits to the right of the fireplace on top of a low console that just didn’t match the rest of the decor. 

It all just needed to go. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 13 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

So my husband and I gave it an entire makeover! I moved the large flatscreen out, and brought in a smaller one from the basement. Then I sold the console on FB Marketplace, and with the money I purchased paint for the fireplace. 

I share all of the fireplace details here. 

The room looks bigger and taller now. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 14 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

Since everything looked so great I took the opportunity to redecorate for Fall along with the help of Plow & Hearth, an online warehouse that has a variety of decor items for your home. They have everything from seasonal decor, accent furniture, to practical outdoor items that make gardening a breeze.  

They have a mix of both traditional and more modern items that can be enjoyed by everyone. 

*Before I continue, I just want to remind you that you can always view the video version of this post on my channel here. 

 

DECORATE FOR FALL 9 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

I wanted my fall decor this season to not only be beautiful, but practical. Plow & Hearth has this gorgeous new wingback chair this season and I decided to place it by the fireplace. I find it would be a great place to read stories by the fire. 

Next to it, I have this gorgeous galvanized ash bucket in copper. It is currently housing my Fatwood firestarter sticks that smell amazing. 

Behind that is a hand forged iron fireplace tool set that should stand the test of time. The last one we had kind of fell apart (I think it was more for decorative purposes) so I hope to use this one quite a bit this winter. It is conveniently available in a taller size that helps my husband since he’s a pretty tall guy. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 8 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

In front of the chair, and anchoring the space, is the most gorgeous rug! This Wakefield border polyester rug is nice and neutral but it brings in so many warm tones that are perfect for this leaf-changing season. It is so soft and plush and the pattern on it is so lovely. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 10 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

Another addition to the living room is this gorgeous set of nesting tables. Plow & Hearth has a line of reclaimed wood pieces. This wood can range from railroad ties to old buildings so each set is unique.

The tables add warmth and functionality to the space and the metal bases are so sturdy.

DECORATE FOR FALL 11 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

I added these beautiful black LED lanterns to each side of the fireplace. The  maple leaf garland is also LED and what’s so nice about the P&H LED pre-lit greenery and lanterns is that you can set them on a timer. They go on for 6 hours and off for 18 hours, so you can set and forget and they will always come on at the same time.

How cool is that!?!?

DECORATE FOR FALL 4 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

I removed the secretary desk that was in the corner and the space feel so much larger. I swapped the curtains out for a wheat-colored buffalo check. These curtains are lined and meant to keep the cold out and heat in (or vice versa depending on the season). 

I love buffalo check but I didn’t necessarily want the black and white for this room. This is much warmer. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 3 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

These LED (imitation) wax candles are amazing, the feel like the real deal and the hand forged candlesticks look like something from Hocus Pocus! 

 

DECORATE FOR FALL 2 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

I have a beautiful place to stack the wood this winter as well. There is so much joy to be had in this space! 

DECORATE FOR FALL 1 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

I am enjoying the warmer tones and if you know me I am all about the cooler tones, but something is just taking my soul back to the more traditional look these days. The browns and oranges look so beautiful against the white backdrop.

DECORATE FOR FALL 12 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

I sewed a few new cushion covers and added them to my sofa. I decided I would switch out the khaki slipcover for the white one this season. 

DECORATE FOR FALL 16 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

The striped ones are the new ones, and the cushions with the leaves were from a few years past that I made. They are still holding strong! 

DECORATE FOR FALL 7 Decorating for Fall   Living Room

After adding a few pumpkins, my space was complete. The tray lays on top of a 40 year old table that used to belong to my parents before I was born. It’s pretty banged up but I thought I would give it a nice home since it was literally in my father’s shed for the last 13 years. I hope to pass it along to one of my kids one day.

3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

Hey there! The air is crisp in the mornings and I am loving every minute of it! How is the weather in your area?

I am so ready for sweater weather! 

I recently made 3 farmhouse signs in a partnership with Cricut for my Youtube channel. Since the partnership did not include a blog post, I had not created a a detailed tutorial for it here, however, I did want to share them with you since I think they came out really nice. 

I have wanted a huge Pumpkin Patch sign for a while now and I just had been putting off buying one since I figured one day I would make one. I was then approached by Cricut to try out the Cricut Maker and see what I could come up with, so I thought it was now or never. 

I looked online for inspiration and the one below is what I came up with. 

High End Fall Farmhouse Signs 1 3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

I think the best part about this sign (besides the fact that it has my color scheme) is that I made it with a scrap piece of particle board, a couple of furring strips and 3 Dollar Tree pumpkins! 

It came together beautifully! 

And I proudly display it on my mantle. 

I was so excited that I decided to take another scrap piece of wood that I had lying around – I have a lot of those – and make another sign. 

I always thought the “hello pumpkin” signs were cute so I decided to make one too! 

High End Fall Farmhouse Signs 2 3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

Another success using scrap wood, poplar wood, paint, ribbon and another pumpkin from Dollar Tree! 

My mother has her eyes on this one, I might lose it just like I lost that cute teapot. 

But of course, I couldn’t stop there. My subscribers love Dollar Tree DIYs so I made sure to give them that option as well. And that one is just darling! 

High End Fall Farmhouse Signs 3 3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

I used wooden beads, scrap paper, a Dollar Tree frame, Dollar Tree pumpkins and some scrapbook paper and voila! Another cute sign. 

And the fact that I can add whatever lettering I want to my signs was the icing on the cake. I want to customize all.the.things! And that Cricut Maker is a beast! It can cut so many different types of material, I cannot wait to see what else it does. 

Ahem… I have this one DIY for Christmas that I hope to make…??

So, if any of these signs strike your fancy ? check out the video on how they came together below!

Hello friends! The weather has been slowly changing here in Georgia. And while the days are still hot, the evening  climate has gotten quite comfortable. And because of this, I have been inspired to start creating for Fall. 

There are several DIY’s I wish to share, however for this post, I will be sharing how to make this cute pumpkin “grateful” sign inspired by one I saw at Kirklands. 

This was super inexpensive since I had everything on hand with the exception of the wood square sign that I had just purchased at Dollar Tree. 

For this you will need a square sign, pumpkin form and a leather strap to start. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 1 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

The first thing you need to do is sand the glitter from the words on both the sign and pumpkin form. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 2 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

You can paint these any colors you want to suit your decor. I used Nantucket Blue for the pumpkin and Vintage white acrylic paint for the square sign.

Next, cut a rectangle out of your leather strap. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 3 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

With some scissors cut off all 4 corners as shown. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 4 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

 

Then, with a wood burning tool. I used this one… make stitch marks along the border. And then write whatever word you choose for the front of the leather piece. I kept the word the same as my inspiration piece. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 5 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

Next, I hot glued the leather piece to the pumpkin.

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 6 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

Afterwards, I used some gold thumb tacks from Dollar Tree, cut off about half of the pin to make it shorter, added some hot glue to the tip and attached it to the leather strap and pumpkin. I used a small hammer and covered the pin with a towel so that whenever I hammered it down, it did not damage the gold finish.

As for the square plaque. I added some horizontal lines and used a combination of colors to add paint onto it. I used a spatula to scrape the paint across the “planks” in an attempt to give it an old painted barn wood effect. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 14 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

The pumpkin will go in the center so you don’t need much detail there. To attach the pumpkin, I used hot glue as well. And that was it!

I am loving that Nantucket blue. It goes so well with my previous DIY raffia pumpkins as well.

The rest of the items you see here are more new DIY’s.

That tray is an updated version of my last Dollar Tree raised tray. When I shared it last year many people couldn’t find the legs I had used for it, so this time I used items from Hobby Lobby that are found all year long.

7 High End Dollar Tree Fall DIYs

Hey there friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your September. I have been thinking about the Fall DIY’s that I wish to share with you all for this season and I thought it would be fun to share some of my previous DIY’s that I have made in case you haven’t seen one or two. 

Some of these are either a favorite of mine or a popular DIY among readers. These are all Dollar Tree DIY’s, but you might not have thought so at first glance. I really tried to make these so much more than just a DIY so I hope you enjoy. 


As always you can find all of the tutorials for the following Fall DIY’s in this compilation video on my Youtube channel.


  1.  Succulent Dollar Tree Pumpkins

These were made out of Dollar Tree foam pumpkins and succulents. I painted them neutral colors and added moss. You can find the full tutorial here.

2. Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tree

While you can use this tray anytime of year, the color combination is perfect for Fall. In this tutorial I share how to paint Buffalo Check backwards on glass. You can find the tutorial here.

3. Dollar Tree Fall Houses 

These were one of my favorite of all time and I actually have 4 different DIYs with these houses, both for Fall and Christmas. They really are so versatile. You can find the tutorial here.

4. Dollar Tree Blue & White Pumpkin Candleholder 

This one was made from another foam pumpkin. I love blue & white together and I decided to create a “faux” ceramic pumpkin that I could add a candle too and I was really happy with the result. Great thing about this is you can make the pattern any color you want to match your decor! Full tutorial (along with 3 other versions) here.

Blue & White Fall Wreath

Look for Less Fall Wreath Blue & White Fall Wreath

Blue & White Fall Wreath

*Some of the links below are affiliate links for your convenience. For full disclosure please click here*

Hey everyone! Hope you are doing great. Digital learning has started and I can already tell you we cannot wait until we start going back to school. My kids miss their teachers and their teachers miss them.

We just want things back the way they used to be! ?

Okay, so enough about that… let’s talk about something we can change…. our decor. 

I already have apple cinnamon all over the house (it’s my favorite holiday scent… so much so it’s all I burn straight through the New Year) so naturally I have to start thinking about my fall decor and I am going to change it a little bit from last year’s color scheme. 

This year I am incorporating blue no matter what anyone says! LOL! 

And since the Look for Less Challenge was up for August, I though I would do a Fall DIY. 

I originally saw this gorgeous wreath on Kirkland’s website. 

It is gorgeous and while $65 is pretty normal for wreaths these days, I still wasn’t going to put that kinda money into a wreath for the Fall season, especially when I have a ton of supplies left over from last year that I never got to use.  

Screen Shot 2020 08 10 at 11.05.17 PM 1 Blue & White Fall Wreath

The only items I purchased were:

  • a grapevine wreath  form from Hobby Lobby
  • ribbon
  • pumpkin picks from Dollar Tree

Everything else, I already had…

First, I started by painting some pumpkins picks I already had and the new ones from Dollar Tree. I wanted to keep it as close to the original wreath so I painted 3 white and 3 in Nantucket Blue Chalk Paint.

Look for Less Fall Wreath 1 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Next, I used some of Folkart’s brushed bronze metallic paint for the pumpkin stems. 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 2 Blue & White Fall Wreath

I set those to dry and started painting some berries. The original wreath had  a couple of different berries on it and I happened to have a couple of different berries from Dollar Tree as well. 

I painted the ones below in French Blue acrylic paint (it complemented the pumpkins perfectly). 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 3 Blue & White Fall Wreath

While everything dried, I started gathering all of my leftover greenery pieces from previous projects and began cutting them down to smaller pieces. I wanted to use light and muted greenery to keep with the Fall theme and I wanted soft textures like lamb’s ear and eucalyptus. I think those go very well with Fall.

Look for Less Fall Wreath 4 Blue & White Fall Wreath 

Next, I began to assemble the wreath, making sure to cover up as much as possible on the wreath form. I didn’t have a ton of greenery so I had to make sure I covered everything well. And, I even found some potpourri (that no longer smelled) and added it in a few sparse areas.

You need to really get crafty sometimes, LOL! 

RELATED: July’s Look for Less

Look for Less Fall Wreath 5 Blue & White Fall Wreath

I made sure to add the pumpkins in the same areas as the originals. And even though the berries weren’t exactly the same they still worked out great. 

In order to keep them in place, I would hot glue the end of the pick that I inserted into the wreath and then I would hot glue the other end to the wreath as well (that way it wouldn’t hang all over the place). 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 6 Blue & White Fall Wreath

The pinecones I had were a little heavy so I had to make sure I added enough hot glue to keep them secure. 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 7 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Finally, it was time for the bow. 

I planned on using a burlap ribbon I had to make my wreath look closer to the original, but it was not wired and it wouldn’t keep it’s shape. So I used another ribbon I had that had a gorgeous blue stripe that went well with the color scheme. 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 8 Blue & White Fall Wreath

I am not the best bow maker, but I do share the steps for this one in my Youtube tutorial (it’s easier to explain when speaking). 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 9 Blue & White Fall Wreath

The last step was to adhere it to the wreath form and that was it! 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 13 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Perfect for the front door! 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 14 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Look for Less Fall Wreath 15 Blue & White Fall Wreath

I’m not gonna lie, I like my bow better. That stripe! 

Look for Less Fall Wreath 12 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Look for Less Fall Wreath 16 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Look for Less Fall Wreath 11 Blue & White Fall Wreath

Here is a side by side of the wreaths. Not too shabby I think, plus for only $8 out of pocket, it’s a pretty good deal!

So instead of going out and buying a brand new wreath this year, check out what you have that you can reuse, repurpose and repaint. You can change up your color scheme this year with what you already have on hand!

Plus, your wallet will thank you… and I love the sound of that! 

Look for Less August 2020 Wreath Blue & White Fall Wreath

Let me know what you think of this Look for Less!

Also, don’t forget to check out the video tutorial on my channel if you would rather follow via video, plus there are so many other submissions each month, you are bound to find a Look for Less you love!

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Happy Friday!

We are already about to enter the first weekend of September – this is just crazy right?!

Today my kiddos had picture day at school and I sent them off dressed up as cute as can be… let’s just hope they choose not to fake smile today… or spill food on themselves before they take them. ??

Either way, it’s another great day for a DIY… a Dollar Tree DIY, that is!

And this one is super simple.

*Some of the links below are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for me information*

All you need are the following:

  • Dollar Tree pumpkins
  • Raffia
  • Glue gun

You can choose any size or shape you want for this.

Video tutorial is on my Youtube channel as well as at the end of this post for your convenience.

Then, you are going to remove the stem from the pumpkin and unravel the raffia bundle.

RELATED: Fall Farmhouse Tablescape 

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins 2 Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Take your glue gun and glue one end of the raffia pieces to the center top.

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins 3 Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Then begin wrapping it around the pumpkin covering up all the creases of the pumpkin adding a dab of glue here and there to hold it together.

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins 4 Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Continue the process until you have done all the creases. Get more raffia pieces as you need them.

RELATED: Dollar Tree Succulent Pumpkin Planters

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins 5 Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Then after all of the  creases are done. Cut smaller pieces of raffia and bundle them together. Begin to glue them down to fill in the areas in between the creases.

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins 6 Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

Continue to do this until you have covered the entire pumpkin.

Then finally glue the stem back on. You will have to cut the little piece of plastic that juts out underneath the stem because it won’t penetrate the raffia, however the hot glue gun will hold it just fine.

Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins 9 Dollar Tree DIY Farmhouse Fall Pumpkins

And there you have it! Some really cute farmhouse inspired pumpkins from the Dollar Tree!

The great thing about these is that they are neutral and will go with any color scheme you choose for this season.

And if you don’t want to use the original pumpkin stems you can use branches or make your own out of air clay like the large one below.

Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape


Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape Pin Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape

Happy Tuesday! Today I am excited that I get to join in on another amazing blog hop with 24 other talented bloggers. As you may already know, my first time joining was this summer when Kendra over at Joy In Our Home invited me for the Summer Blog Hop. I decorated and shared my coastal mantle decor for it at the time.

This time we have another great line-up and today I am sharing my Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape… with some seriously inexpensive items and some fun DIY’s.

But before I start, below is an overview of what is being shared this week.

Don’t forget to head to the end of my post so you know which blog to head over to next and see the rest of the line-up for this week!

Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape

As for my table…  I always remembered my mom having our dinner table set up perfectly for each season and I always wondered why. Now that I have my own home I can tell you it is so much fun to put these together and when I am done, a huge sense of satisfaction fills me and I feel so proud that I was able to create something so beautiful for such a fun occasion.

Thanks mom. I understand.

Now, I will say one thing I was never really into (unlike mom) was tablecloths. I find them to be unnecessary, too long and just outdated. However, there is something nice about going to an expensive restaurant with white linens on the tables.

So I decided to try my own hand at making one (that I would like of course). And I came up with this sweet version below.

It’s short and fits my table perfectly. And the cute ruffles give it that sweet country/farmhouse style.

Like it?

No worries! I will be sharing how you can make for yourself soon!

As for the place setting…. I have 2 words…. Dollar Tree.

Yup!

Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape 1 Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape

The white charger, the gray plate and the pumpkin were all from Dollar Tree. I actually used those chargers in my rustic glam Christmas table setting from last year.

The plates are new at Dollar Tree right now. That pumpkin was not so pretty. They used to look like this:

IMG 8308 Neutral Farmhouse Fall Tablescape

So I spray painted them in the same color I spray-painted my DIY Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray…. Rustoleum’s Metallic Series spray paint in Vintage Copper.

The napkins were from my mom (thanks mom!) and the striped fabric charger underneath the white charger I sewed just like the ones I did in this tutorial.

The water glasses were also from Dollar Tree, gosh I love that store!

Tip: If you like any of these Dollar Tree products, but haven’t seen them in your store, you can order them online and have them shipped to your store for FREE!

Recognize that little stand the white center pumpkin is on?

Yep, that was another one of my DIY’s. You can make one yourself here.

The candles and candlesticks were again from Dollar Tree. I got really lucky with those candles, they are the perfect color to match my pumpkins.

The greenery was a mix from Wal Mart and Dollar Tree and the pumpkins were accumulated over the years.

I am totally loving the grey and copper colors I picked this year. It seemed like a crazy color combo, but I think it totally works!

Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray


Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray

 

Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray

I don’t think I have ever made so many Fall DIY’s in one season… and here’s another one!

I showed a sneak peak of this tray in my last post when I shared my Dollar Tree succulent pumpkin planters.  I decided to continue a neutral color scheme for Fall this year, but at the same time I wanted to add a pop of copper which I find so elegant and really works well with the season.

Never did I imagine it would go so well with grey buffalo check! I mean, look how cute everything looks and how well my buffalo check mini stand goes with it!

Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray 2 Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray

And just like that little stand, I painted the buffalo check onto the glass of an 11 x 14 inch picture frame I got at the Dollar Tree. The only difference is that this time, I had to work backwards. Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray 1 Dollar Tree Buffalo Check Tray

*Some links below are affiliate links* 

And those little handles… they were made with some dowels I had leftover from my Pottery Barn Mirror Dupe. 

The spray paint I used was Rustoleum’s Metallic Series spray paint in Vintage Copper.

And since I already shared the step by step for a traditional buffalo check paint I thought it would be best to share a video of this process since we do have to work backwards and it might get a little confusing…

So grab yourself a cup of coffee, tea, glass of wine (I won’t judge) and enjoy my video below!

DIY Dollar Tree Fall Succulent Pumpkin Planter

*Some of the following links are affiliate links, go here for full disclosure*

Happy weekend everyone! I have another fall DIY for you all and I am really excited about this one. I made these DIY Dollar Tree Fall Succulent Pumpkin Planters and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

Okay, so what better way to add some greenery to Fall than to add it to some Dollar Tree pumpkins… super inexpensive and easy to make… 2 things I love the most!

The main items you will need are:

  • Dollar Tree Carvable Pumpkins (they are out in stores right now, but you can always order them online and get them shipped to your local store for FREE)
  • Dollar Tree Succulents
  • A carving tool (but you can also use the little carving kits at Dollar Tree)
  • Paint of your choice – I used Rustoleum’s Chalked Paint in Linen White and Aged Gray (I use those a lot… like in my Pottery Barn mirror dupe and my Dollar Tree Pumpkin Topiaries 
  • Floral Foam 
  • Floral Moss 
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue 

So the first thing you want to do is get a carvable pumpkin from Dollar Tree.

Oh and as always you can view the video tutorial here, if videos are your jam! ?

I happened to have an unfinished one from last year that I had already started painting so I decided to use that one. I went ahead and carved out the top.

Then I painted it with my favorite white chalk paint  and added floral foam to the inside. I made sure to secure it with hot glue.

I then added the floral moss, adhering it with hot glue as well.

Finally you just add your Dollar Tree succulents and arrange them whichever way you like! I used several I had from Dollar Tree and a few other from Michael’s that I was able to purchase during their 80% off end of summer floral sale. I even got some for only 80 cents!

Also, if you don’t have these carvable pumpkins you can also use regular foam ones and not even carve them.

Just paint them or leave them as is.

Glue the floral moss on the top and make a hole for your succulent picks (if the hole of the stem you removed is not large enough).

Then add your succulent picks!

DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

IY Buffalo Check Mini Stand Pin DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

 

Hello friends! Can you believe it is September already!??!? Holy moly! Before you know it we will be trick-or-treating and then saying “Thanks” and then opening presents….. Okay, I need to pace myself.  Ha!

But you get the drift, time is flying!

And with that we need to start changing things up at home… and by that I mean we need to start our Fall decorating.

And what better way to display your Fall decor than on a cute buffalo check mini stand….

You know I love buffalo check, right? I mean I re-did my littlest’s bedroom and I painted one entire wall in buffalo check!If you haven’t seen that transformation you definitely must, cause you will be in buffalo check heaven, just sayin’!

Okay, this tutorial is much smaller in scale so I thought I would walk you through it again in case you have been dying to learn how to paint buffalo check…

Here goes!

DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

So, for this mini stand I got an unfinished candlestick from Michael’s and an unfinished wood round from Hobby Lobby. DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

I glued them together with wood glue. I made sure to hold the candlestick in place with painters tape to ensure it would stay put and in the center.

IY Buffalo Check Mini Stand 1 2 DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

Once it was dry I painted the top with Rustoleum Chalked paint in White Linen (the same one I used for my Pottery Barn Mirror Dupe) and the base with Chalked paint in Aged Gray.

Once I did that I used painters tape to tape out the stripes.

For my daughter’s room I started from the middle and worked my way out with the stripes, but since this was so small and simple, I just placed a piece of tape at the end and with my fabric tape measure I measured the width of the tape and spaced out the rest of the stripes so they were all the same size.

DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand 1 DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for Fall

Once all of the tape was on I painted the stripes with the Aged Gray.

I gave it 2 coats and removed the tape.

Once the paint was dry, I added painters tape in a perpendicular direction to the stripes already in place.

 

***Also, if at any point this seems a little confusing, you can always check out my video tutorial below…***



Once they were secure, I painted those stripes with the same gray paint.

This time you keep that tape in place. DO NOT remove it!

You will now place painters tape to the original vertical lines from before, but ON TOP of the existing tape. This will isolate the intersections (or squares) of both of the lines.

Then you will paint it a darker gray (or color of choice).

Once you are done, simply remove the tape one layer at a time and touch up any areas necessary. I like to use a small square artist brush.

IY Buffalo Check Mini Stand 8 DIY Buffalo Check Mini Stand for FallAnd that’s it!

You now have a cute & neutral, DIY buffalo check mini stand for Fall! You can put pumpkins on it or any other Fall decor piece. If you don’t prefer gray, that’s okay, you can totally customize it to suit your decor color scheme.

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

*Some of the links below are affiliate links, for full disclosure please go here*

Yesterday morning I woke up to a little bit cooler weather and I cannot say how excited I was… I’m sure it will go back up to hot summer temps in a couple of days, but the cooler morning breeze was so nice to get out to.

With that we are all getting ready to decorate for fall and enjoy those long awaited holidays we all love to celebrate.

I decided to get a head start and start creating some neutral fall decor for the house…. of course, sticking to a tight budget.

You know I love Dollar Tree (and even decorated an entire Thanksgiving tablescape last year with their items), so I was so excited because their decor just keeps getting better and better every year. I decided to create these cute little neutral DIY farmhouse pumpkin topiaries with some of their new fall decor and some items I had left over in my craft room.

Each one cost me less than $3 to make and they were so easy…

Here is what you will need:

  • Dollar Tree pumpkins in 3 different sizes
  • Dollar Tree terra-cotta pots
  • Paint of choice, I love this chalk paint for projects like this
  • Twine
  • Moss
  • Glue gun

 

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries 1 DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

 

I had this chalk paint leftover from my Look for Less DIY Pottery Barn mirror DUPE and a sample I purchased months ago.

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries 2 DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

 

As always you can view the tutorial below:



 

I painted the pots in the white chalk paint, making sure to paint the rims and then hot-glued the moss on the edges.

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries 5 DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

I removed the stems and tags from the 2 larger pumpkins.

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries 3 DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

I didn’t like the yellow tone of the white pumpkins so I painted them with the same white chalk paint and then I painted the small pumpkins as well. I made sure to apply at least 2 coats.

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries 4 DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

When all were dry I was ready to assemble my topiary. I started with the largest pumpkin…

Then before adding the white pumpkin I added some twine to give it more texture.

I then hot-glued it to the large pumpkin.

After that I glued the smallest pumpkin.

And then I added more moss to cover the gap between the white and blue pumpkin and also to tie it all together.

DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries 10 DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Topiaries

And that was it! I decided to create 2 topiaries since they were so inexpensive and I just love how they turned out.

They are about 10.5″ in height so they are perfect for placing on an entry table of coffee table or even on some shelves. Plus, the best thing about them is that you can make them in any color?

Which colors do you prefer for Fall? Are you going traditional or changing it up this year?

I would love to hear what you think about these little topiaries!

Dollar Tree Fall Decor

DIY Fall Decor Dollar Tree Fall Decor

*This post may contain some affiliate links for your convenience. For full disclosure you may go here.*

I totally meant to get this out sooner, however, all 3 of my kids have been battling Hand Foot & Mouth disease that my oldest contracted from school and my week was a hot mess.

So now that fall is in full swing in our house and I have my table setting all ready to go for Thanksgiving, I figure I would go ahead and share a couple of other simple and inexpensive décor pieces that can be made in less than a couple of hours (that you can do with those leftover Dollar Tree pumpkins you may have lying around).

I will be creating 2 small fall decor pieces that can be used as either centerpieces or accent pieces throughout your home.

Dollar Tree Fall Decor Product list…

1st arrangement:

  • A carvable pumpkin
  • Candle holder – I used this tea light mason jar 
  • Craft paint
  • A bundle of artificial flowers
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Paintbrush

Check out the video tutorial below!

Instructions:

For the first piece you will need to use the candleholder and trace the bottom of it to the top of the pumpkin. Carve it out. You want the candleholder (in this case I used a mason jar) to fit snuggly inside.

Tip: If you cut the hole too large and the candleholder sits too low, you can take the piece of pumpkin you removed and hot glue it to the inside bottom of the pumpkin. It will elevate the candleholder and keep it in place.

Next you want to paint the pumpkin. I used acrylic paint. It adhered well and dried fast, plus if you don’t have any on hand they are super inexpensive.

1 Dollar Tree Fall Decor

I used a blue-green on the bottom 2 layers, then added white chalk paint to give it a more neutral weathered look. Make sure to keep the strokes long and vertical.

2 Dollar Tree Fall Decor

Then once it was dry I cut the flowers from the fall bush and inserted that along the top edge of the pumpkin, spacing them out evenly along the open boarder.

4 Dollar Tree Fall Decor

Once all were in I added the candleholder and candle and I was done!

2nd piece:

  • A carvable pumpkin
  • Floral foam
  • Paint
  • A bundle of fall artificial flowers
  • Pine cones
  • Small twigs
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Paintbrush

 

For this piece, I started the same way… cutting out the top and painting.

Then I cut down some floral foam and hot glued it to the bottom inside of the pumpkin.

3 Dollar Tree Fall Decor

I gathered some twigs from the yard and painted them with white chalk paint. Once they were dry I added them along with some pinecones, flowers and a small white pumpkin from my last project I did. Whatever I could not insert into the foam I adhered with hot glue.

5 Dollar Tree Fall Decor

And that was basically all there was to it.

6 Dollar Tree Fall Decor

The good thing about this one is that you can arrange the flowers and twigs any way you want. You can make the fall arrangement tall or short, make it extra blingy or use vibrant colors or keep them neutral.

Either way you have another unique and really simple and inexpensive project for fall!

And since I already had the paint and brushes, both projects on cost me about $4 each!

Plus, who would even think there were Dollar Tree fall decor pieces anyway?

Watch the video below and stay tuned for my Xmas DIY’s coming your way!
