Home Decor Dollar Tree Favorites For Fall

So you want to decorate your home for fall, but don't want to spend a lot?

Head to Dollar Tree. They have the decor and the crafty supplies to make your home look like a million bucks.

Here are my picks.


Years ago, a new store came to town and everything was a dollar.

Unbelievable right?

Like most people, I was eager to see what I could get for a buck.

Turns out, in the very beginning, not much.

Oh sure, I was able to pick up a few supplies for my kindergarten classroom, but other than that, I was unimpressed.

Of course, over the past several decades, things have changed. Dramatically.

Now I'm a regular Dollar Tree creator and shopper.

Not only do the stores have a larger inventory, now some of their items rival things I've seen in much more expensive stores.

As a matter of fact, I've found a few things there that I would put on par with items I've bought at high end retailers. 

For example, I spent a small fortune on these pretty pumpkin plates from Pottery Barn.

It's crazy that this fall I could get the very same look with Dollar Tree plates for $5.


Mind blowing.

That's why the store has become my go to, not only for craft supplies, but for home decor, as well.

If you peek at some of the menu tabs above, you'll see the proof. There's a long list of projects featuring their stock.

However, I've never shared my favorites for fall. Until now.

So without further ado, here's my list. Enjoy!

My Favorite Home Decor Dollar Tree Items

Seasonal Items

Ok, so this is the one most people head to Dollar Tree for...seasonal decor. It greets you as soon as you walk in the door and follows you for aisles.

Much of it is ready to go.

No crafting necessary, just drop it in your cart, bring it home and set it out. There are so many adorable door hangers and tabletop accessories, it's hard not to get carried away.

My weakness though, is grabbing things off the shelf to either embellish or use as a basis for crafty DIYs.

Like my latest, Boo-tiful pumpkin!

If you think outside the box a little, the possibilities are endless.

Exhibit A...and B, C and D.

White Painted Pumpkins

I used Carvable Foam Pumpkins


A little bit of orange is very festive in fall, but generally, I stick to more muted tones. I love the way white pumpkins just add a bit of elegance to the season.

However, real ones can be expensive and don't always last inside...plus the moisture they emit can stain my wood furniture. So I opt for faux.

For about a dollar each, I can afford a bushel in each room. I grab a bunch of foam ones from Dollar Tree and I paint them up. 

Insider tip, I order them online and pick them up in the store for free, since they sell out in the stores fast.

Treat Bag Banners


Halloween isn't my favorite holiday to decorate for...but I have kids who love it. So, again, I opt for a more polished look.

Lots of white painted pumpkins and a banner to adorn my fireplace made from treat bags is all I need to set the mood. 

There are tons of them in all different patterns, so whether you're an understated holiday decorator or jump in with both feet, there's bound to be something that catches your eye.



This was a very out of the box kind of craft for me, but I had seen a few splatter screen wreath ideas online and decided to challenge myself to come up with one that would fit my aesthetic. 

And for a two dollar investment, I was ok with rolling the dice. I'm thrilled with the way it turned out and can't wait to hang it up again this year. 

Puzzle Piece Place Card

I always have a few old puzzles on hand.


Puzzle pieces are very versatile little craft items. Add some paint, draw out a pattern and glue them together and you've got a place card, picture frame, banner, ornament, gift tag...

Well, you get the idea. Doesn't matter what pattern you use, I just like smaller pieces for a more formal - less preschool - look.

Which, by the way, is where this idea came from...you can take the teacher out of the classroom, but...

Wall Stickers

Wall decals are the reason that most of my lettered DIYs look so good. I don't have to stencil or paint anything.

So there's no actual lettering involved.


It's a quick and easy way to cheat when you need to put words on something and for one dollar, you can't go wrong.

There are tons of decals to choose from and whether you place them on wood or glass, they're guaranteed to take your project up a notch.

For a buck.

Amazing.

Thanksgiving Table Riser or Wooden Sign

I used Dollar Tree Wall Stickers 



When I wanted to doll up a couple of thrift store cutting boards for Thanksgiving, I grabbed a wall sticker. 

I knew that my handwriting wasn't going to cut it, I don't have a fancy machine. This Dollar Tree grateful sign was the ideal solution.

Just stick, decoupage and go. That's my kind of craft.

Flowers

Ordinarily, I'm not a huge fan of faux flowers, but when it comes to crafting, let's be honest, there is no substitute.

They have staying power, they're easy to work with and if you grab them at the Dollar Tree, they're cheap.


I've used these products for years and side by side, it's difficult, if not impossible, to tell them apart from the ones I've purchased at craft stores.

I love the way they always have a great variety that changes with the seasons, so I can keep my looks current and that I can buy foam supplies, wreath forms, ribbon and picks there too.

One stop shopping is the name of my game.

Hello Fan Blade Sign

I have a habit of pulling old ceiling fans out of the trash. I paint them and decorate them for every season. 

This was the first time I embellished them with flowers and I have to say, it just might be my favorite. 

Clean, sweet, cheerful and welcoming. And so easy.


Apple Candle Ring

Nothing's warmer than candlelight on a chilly fall evening. So I decided to embellish my old hurricane with a homemade apple ring.

Grab a few picks, glue them to a wreath frame and place your glass and candle inside. 

Very cozy and budget friendly. I love that. 

Plates

Every year there is some variation of the Royal Norfolk Fall Themed Plates.

They have an entire selection including blows, mugs and platters.

So now we're back to those plates again. You know the ones I mentioned before?

The are part of the Royal Norfolk Fall Themed Pumpkin collection.
Plates, bowls, mugs...they even have coordinating orange pieces to spice it up a bit. Get it...spice? Sorry.

I mean seriously how pretty would your fall or Thanksgiving table look with these pretties peppered about??

And when you consider the price of an entire service for twelve that can be delivered to your store or your house? Like I said before.

Mind blowing.

But wait, it's not just these lovely fall plates that I consider must haves, it's the rest of their Norfolk collection.

I have several friends who use the plain white or red dishes as their main set and adore them. The next time I'm in the market, these babies have my name written all over them.


I know you're shocked.

Red and about a dollar each?

I mean come on.

They practically have my name printed on them.

😉

What's got your name on it?

Happy Fall Decorating, Friends!
