DIY Fall Pillow from Dollar Tree Towels

Nothing says “fall is here!” quite like brand new throw pillows! That is why I lovethis beautiful embroidered fall pillow made from Dollar Tree towels. This is an easy and inexpensive craft that’s so perfect for your autumn decor. I started with some $1.25 plaid towels from Dollar Tree, added some simple embroidery, sewed them together and popped a pillow form inside. In the world of DIY projects, it doesn’t get much easier than that.

Make a DIY Boho Throw Pillow from Dollar Tree Bath Mats

Textured, boho style throw pillows are perfect for fall, and you canmake one for hardly any money at all with Dollar Tree bath mats and macrame cord!I saw a beautiful, textured, neutral coloured pillow I loved at HomeSense, but it was $40. When I found some bath mats at Dollar Tree in the perfect colour, I was pretty sure I could make something similar on a budget. And I was right!

Fall DIY Dollar Tree Wreath with Fairy Lights

I love a fall wreath, and I love it more when I can make it myself from dollar store supplies!This gorgeous little wreath is unmistakably fall, with a burlap pumpkin, white rose stem, wheat stem, hydrangea stem, burlap oak leaves (or burlap ribbon with a bow, if you would rather) and a simple grapevine wreath form. All you need is a little hot glue to make it happen. Plus, wrap it all in copper wire lights for a beautiful and cozy touch! This would look beautiful on your mantel above the fireplace or on your front door too.

5 Rustic Decor Dollar Store DIYs for Fall

I recently raided my localDollar Treeto see what sorts of crafty decorating supplies I could find to make a few new items for my fall decor this year. I was pleasantly surprised with all of the items I found for only $1.25 each! I’ve got instructions for making a candle & fairy lights luminary, a simple leafy banner, a cute little fall table setting, and more!See which of these five ideas you want to make first, and then give them all a try!

Spooky Glam Halloween Dollar Store Wreath

Do you like Halloween decor that is not TOO spooky? Then you will love this wreath! It’s spooky and Halloween-esque, but it’s not gory or icky. It’s also just a little bit glamorous with its black and gold colour scheme. The best part? It only costs a few dollars to make, with items all found at the Dollar Tree! Grab a simple wreath frame, some fake spiders, black roses and pumpkins and hot glue sticks, andfollow along with my spooky glam wreath tutorial.

DIY Halloween Ideas to Make with Your Cricut

I love a little bit of spooky and a whole lot of glam for my Halloween DIY and decor. I made some fun Halloween themed DIYs with some of my favourite dollar store items and myCricut Explore Air 2. It’s amazing what you can do with a Cricut, some vinyl, and a whole lot of creativity! I can’t decide whether I love my “Trick” and “Treat” mugs or my DIY spiderweb candle best.Check out these ideas and more, right here!

DIY Dollar Store Halloween Decor Ideas

No Cricut? No problem! You can still enjoy some fabulous ideas for DIY Halloween home decor, all purchased at the dollar store. To prove that I’m right,I put together the perfect Halloween dollar store mantel idea. A DIY ghost banner, some creepy DIY bug art, plus crows, ribbon, and faux spiders all came together to make this perfectly creepy (but not too creepy) display.

Colourful Fall Tablescape Idea on a Budget

You don’t have to spend a lot of money tocreate a beautiful tablescape for your fall celebrations! Use a faux floral centerpiece filled with stems from Dollar Tree to set the mood. A garland of fake leaves in fall colours would be gorgeous too! Thrifted and inexpensive items from IKEA and Amazon can be used to fill it whatever you can’t find at the dollar store. I thrifted my gorgeous amber glasses and layered some simple white plates over IKEA rattan place mats, for example. I purchased some simple gold flatware from Amazon and finished off the look with a single glass pumpkin from Dollar Tree on top of each plate! I’m so happy with how this tablescape looks and you would never guess how inexpensive this fall table makeover really was.

Easy Crochet Potholder Pattern

When I saw a thick crochet potholder for $20 at an online boutique, I knew I couldmake something similar with dollar store supplies! Not only is this pot holder functional, but it would look adorable hanging on a hook on your wall as “organic modern” kitchen decor. Or, you can make it bigger to suit any vignette you have in mind! This is an easy, Etsy-worthy crochet project that doesn’t require any special stitching. I’m even giving you the free pattern. The perfect easy fall craft!

Cozy Plaid Fall Pillow from a Dollar Store Scarf

It’s scarf season, and that includes at Dollar Tree! Find a scarf with a pretty plaid pattern that is at least as wide and twice as long as the throw pillow you have in mind, and you have the perfect affordable fabric for your next fall sewing project. All you need is your dollar store scarf, a pillow insert, andmy step-by-step-instructions! Make this cozy pillow to give your living room or porch the perfect fall feel.

DIY Upcycled Candle with a Dollar Store Ramekin

Fall is the perfect time to take advantage of soft & cozy candlelight. If you have an old candle you never use, you canrecycle it into a beautiful DIY upcycled candlethat makes a lovely home decor accent this season! All you need is your old candle, a heat-resistant Dollar Tree ramekin (or any Dollar Tree storage jars you like the look of), your stove, and a few minutes of hands-on craft time. Pair them with some dollar store pumpkins and wooden beads to create a beautiful little cottage-vibe vignette!

Stunning Faux Succulent Pumpkin DIY Centerpiece

If you’re a fan of succulents and pumpkins,this DIY project combines the two in a beautiful way! I don’t think succulents are often seen as a fall season decor item, but why not? Paired with some inexpensive dollar store Spanish moss (or regular moss!) and beautiful pumpkins from our local pumpkin farm, I think they are the perfect touch of green for my Thanksgiving table. You could make this craft last even longer using faux pumpkins instead of real ones.

So, there you go. 12 ideas for stunning fall decor that no one will know came from the dollar store! I hope you make at least one of them and tag me @thediymommy with your pictures. I would love to see how they turn out!
