Dollar Store Decorating

I love the dollar store! You can find some great items for just $1. I love to get toys, party favors, coloring books, and little things for around the house. This year, I decided to try decorating using some items from the dollar store. I love to decorate my house but let's face it...it can get expensive! Here are a few pictures of some fall decorations I made this year using some things I already owned, dollar store purchases, and a bit of some craftiness!

Fall Wreath: made with a wicker wreath form, glitter tulle, fake pumpkins and gourds, and some glittered leaves. I purchased everything I needed to make this wreath from the dollar store except for the tulle which I already had on hand.

Fall Candle Scene: I used marbles/rocks, a mini pumpkin with a battery operated tealight, tall pillar candles, ribbon, and glittered leaves. I simply tied some ribbon around the candles and then arranged everything on a glass plate. I made this mostly from items are already owned and used the leftover leaves from my wreath.

Fall Table Decor: Here I displayed some fall subway art in picture frames with a stuffed pumpkin. I downloaded free subway art online and printed it at home. I customized and printed the pumpkin silhouette and glued it to some patterned paper. Then, I displayed the art in frames I purchased for the dollar store.
