Dollar Tree FALL DIYs 🍂 Cheap & Easy Decor You’ll LOVE!

Hey guys and welcome to my channel, I'm Kristen and today we're doing some inexpensive DIYs with dollar store items for fall time. So the first one I'm using this wood round from Dollar Tree and I'm going to go ahead and paint the entire thing orange which honestly in the end it's not really necessary to paint the entire thing because we're going to go ahead and add some fabric to this. Now this fabric I got from Dollar Tree last year so I'm just going to go ahead and unroll it and just add it to the bottom of the sign and of course I just used a good old glue stick to add the fabric. This honestly works really well, you could use Mod Podge if you choose to and if you do want to seal it just throw some Mod Podge on there or I also have used the Elmer's glue stick in the past to go over the top of the fabric and I personally think that it dries the same. I use my Cricut for this one and just cut out this fall with a pumpkin and just adding it to the top of the fabric. I guess when I mean top of the fabric I just mean right above on to the wood sign and then of course when this is finished you can just embellish this however you want. I always like to either add some greenery, some faux pumpkins, a bow, something fun just to finish this off. I used to always buy a ton of these wood pieces or just kind of any sort of wood item from Dollar Tree. Honestly until the prices started going up then you will see less and less of Dollar Tree wood because you really can get it way cheaper pretty much everywhere and anywhere else but I'm just going to use a window cling for this one and some Dollar Tree stickers and then I'm also going to go ahead and use my Cricut for this one as well. You don't have a Cricut you can always just go ahead and use stencils or whatever you had on hand. I'm not picky when it comes to crafting I just like to do it the easy way out so if you have a Cricut this is pretty easy to do if you like using stencils just go ahead and use those. This sign was a fun one this is from last year from Dollar Tree and I just removed that top piece right there and then I really kind of just liked the way it all looked so I didn't do a whole lot to it. I did just grab a napkin and this one was from Hobby Lobby. I go ahead and remove that center piece and it just pops right back on and no problem once I was completely finished with this. I did take the plies off of the napkin and now I'm just going to be cutting it down to size of course using the glue stick and if you're new to my channel I use an Elmer's glue stick on pretty much everything I'll use it on napkins, placemats, I'll use it on fabric everything and anything and it seems to hold up pretty well so when I get my fall things out I'm kind of late to the fall party because I know everyone's already got their decor out I have not yet but I know that this stuff is still going to be intact once I pull it out of my tote and start decorating again this year and of course grabbing a little bit of sandpaper and just sanding down the edges this is just the easiest way to get all of those extra pieces of that napkin away from your project. For this one I'm just going to go ahead and use this hello fall sign I am not sure exactly where this came from I think it possibly came from Michaels honestly I don't know I don't have a clue so I'm not even going to guess I'm going to use my glue stick once again and a napkin and just put this right in the center of the back side of the sign I like to use a lot of the backs of items especially when they do have that wood that kind of pops out you could probably get it off using maybe some sort of a cutter or maybe even like some sort of heat and removing it or putty knife whatever you kind of have on hand I just choose to use the easy way out so I just use the back side so this was kind of complicated but we made it work using that hello fall pumpkin that was from the last project I'm just adding it to the center of this now I could be done but I decided to go a little bit farther with this and just add some pumpkins just to make this stand out just just a little bit more so many of these cutting boards I don't even know what to do with all of them actually I do I think I'm almost done using all of them they were originally a dollar from a dollar general and then you can just grab these after the holiday they seem to always have a lot of great items after the seasons and holidays I think I picked up a ton of items 90% off last year we're gonna go ahead and use this one dollar placemat yes you can still get items for a dollar dollar general it's honestly why I prefer to shop there at the time or at the moment I think a dollar fifty is a little steep on some of the items that Dollar Tree has to offer now and but if you still like shopping at Dollar Tree and it's close to your home and that's what you choose to use then you know so be it you go it doesn't matter where you buy your craft supplies from I'm just gonna add some twine to the top of this and I just decided to go ahead and add some beads just to make this a little more fun I just have a ton of beads I don't even know where they all come from some from Amazon and then anything that I tear apart that has beads I just go ahead and save them because you just never know when you're gonna use them or want them and then I just added a couple stickers from Dollar Tree to this and that was it pumpkin was from Dollar Tree I'm gonna go ahead and paint it in the chalk paint in the color white I don't know why I said it that way but I did now I really like using napkins for a lot of my projects I have so many napkins so I figured I might as well go ahead and just use a bunch of these now you're gonna see that most of these projects are from last year so if you have not seen these since so many people do post videos I'm sure that you don't watch every single one that I post and that's totally okay with me but if you want to check them out here you go so here's some last year inspiration for you but yeah so I used to shop at just a little backstory I guess if you're new or if you're not new and you just want to listen then go ahead and stick around but I used to shop at Dollar Tree a lot I used to have my grocery cart full of items at Dollar Tree and now I just don't see it worth it that I can honestly just redecorate with items that I have or craft with items that I find on clearance from the previous year because there was so many items I picked up for under a dollar and even way less than 50 cents so I always try to shop after and then if there's something that I really must have or need then I would possibly pick it up but I don't ever feel that way when it comes to items so I'm kind of a cheap frugal crafter but at the moment it just seems like I don't feel or I don't think it's necessary to pay for any sort of craft supply or project if it's gonna cost me over five to ten dollars on just a little sign something like this so like right now I would have already been at about four or five dollars just to make this with the napkins and that little bless sign and some ribbon and raffia and the pumpkin sign so I mean I'm really glad that I do have a lot of these leftover from last year and I'm lucky that I do kind of shop after the season so let me know the comments below if you do shop after the seasons and if you think it's a hundred percent worth it at this point I know everything is going up in price and I'm not just hitting up Dollar Tree because I did notice that Dollar General is also raising a lot of their prices so most of that stuff I don't think anyone is going to touch so I will just wait till after the season to buy it. For this one I got to use another wood round this is just another way to use these and I have made so many of these so I just thought I would share a bunch of different ways that I did it so of course I'm painting it orange this time I was smart enough to only paint part of it because we're gonna be adding fabric to the bottom of this one as well so if your Dollar Tree doesn't have fabric Walmart always has good fabric selections and you can get some smaller items or smaller fabric I don't even know what they're called because I don't really use fabric but they're inexpensive you can pick them up for just over a dollar and you can make things just like this. Here is where I actually added that glue stick over the top now it might look a little crazy like why would you do that why would you not just use Mod Podge but I pick up Elmer's glue sticks after when they're clearancing out school supplies which I find it so funny because like Walmart and all of our grocery stores they sell glue sticks year-round but they'll always throw all that school supplies on clearance so I can pick up so many of these for a couple bucks and it is amazing so the gather sign I think that is from I don't even know where it's from now it's either from Dollar General Hobby Lobby or Dollar Tree that's really just where I buy most of the items and then I'm gonna add some greenery this pumpkin some fun embellishments and I just think these are super fun to make. I loved these pumpkins these wooden pumpkins I think they were always fun to make you can just add these to anything you could add a base to them so they could stand on a shelf you could add some twine and you can go ahead and put them on your door so many possibilities I like that I loved using fabric and this was the year that Dollar Tree had some very cute fabric rolls and this one I think happened to be one of my favorites so I'm just going to go ahead and add this to the wooden pumpkin and of course adding that glue stick over the top to seal it down because sometimes they do start to pop up especially when it's fabric around the edges so you always kind of want to seal those down and then of course another one of these thankful grateful gather signs I'm just adding to the center now I really like that wood color so I try not to paint these if I don't have to just because they can be a pain as well trying to get like in the center of the a and the e and the f's and things like that I'm gonna go ahead and add a little leaf to this and a bow and that bow was from Hobby Lobby it came in a pack and they were so cute and then now I'm just adding these wood cubes to the back of this so it will stand on its own now I love getting my grapevine wreath forms from yard sales I can always find them super inexpensive and you can pull off any of the leaves a lot of times I do find them new because people just seem to buy them and just never use them I'm using boxwood greenery from Walmart here and then a ton of eucalyptus florals from Dollar Tree these are some of my favorites last year and so I did pick up quite a few of them and this just made the cutest wreath and what I love about these the most if you don't use hot glue you can just reuse the wreath form for different holidays or different seasons and you can also take the eucalyptus off and use it for a different project now right here I decided to go ahead and use some hot glue but honestly I don't really think that it ruins the wreath in any sort of way because I'm kind of putting it on some of the greenery and eucalyptus so I was able to eventually reuse this for something different every time I make a wreath I get really excited to hang it up and then by the end of the season the wind has really gotten to it or I have some missing pieces so then I just kind of tear them apart and reuse them for something different and then these little corn pieces I think these are from Hobby Lobby I don't know if they have them this year I really haven't looked as much as I normally do I was kind of like intrigued by all the Hobby Lobby blankets because they were really soft for fall rather than craft supplies I guess but I love how this one turned out I love using the pumpkins and the corn it kind of just breaks everything up from the florals and I just think I just think this one is really pretty this is a yard sale find now I love yard sales I love garage sales whatever you choose to call them I usually call them garage sales but I know yard sales is kind of a a better term that most people call them usually they're in the garages where I live and that's why I guess we call them that but I love thrifting so any chance I get any time I can find a good deal I like to thrift items I was getting so many items I want to say within the past month I was getting so many great deals that were absolutely insane as far as craft supplies and different things I could repurpose I'm really excited to use those I am going to be doing maybe a couple more fall videos maybe a Halloween video I do plan on doing at least one of those I may not though I kind of just want to redo some fun like furniture pieces and thrift some things and do like some home decorating um if you guys are this far let me know in comments below like if I switch up my channel just a little bit I am going on nine years on YouTube and sometimes we just need a fresh start like just not a complete switch or not a complete transformation but just kind of I'd like to do like more decorating and like home projects and maybe get into like cleaning videos more or I may just use my other channel for that um and if you guys don't follow that I will link it down below I have not posted in a year but I kind of started doing YouTube shorts over there so if you do like those I will link it down below anyways I painted this little wheelbarrow in the hazelnut color by Waverly and then I'm just going to be adding a bunch of different florals I think all of these actually came from Dollar Tree this is a change up so we had some two by fours left over from when we redid our fence for our goats and of course I don't feel like we need to waste any sort of wood because it costs so much money and we had so much leftover so I did cut them down to size I'm going to go ahead and paint them in this hazelnut color because we're going to be making some scarecrow with these I always think that like when you have wood pieces you can honestly make anything and everything with wood you could glue them together and you could make a shelf you could make some scarecrow like I'm going to here I use my Cricut to make the faces you could paint these on I am not very good at free handing faces so this is the easiest way to go for me but short story long I love using wood I don't use it nearly as much as I would like to uh so if you guys like doing wood projects let me know in the comments below I do have a miter saw that we cut with um but you can always use like a hacksaw I do see people actually use those like inside their craft room which is always like mind-blowing to me I always think that that's like a garage tool like it should not be inside a house um but anyways we're gonna be making scarecrow I liked using wood don't have enough blah blah blah blah blah uh so I don't know why I chat it's been a minute since I've honestly like more chit-chatted through videos because I really did enjoy it and then some people are just like stop talking uh but yeah adding the scarecrow wood faces and then I'm going to be using some burlap to make some fun hats and some raffia for the hair now I don't know if I did this wrong or if I should have added the raffia to this it beforehand I did not glue any of the hair so it was kind of falling out uh but I mean it ended up working out pretty good I did just make sure that the burlap was secured and good to go and then I did just kind of fold these hats in and tie it with some twine I think these are the cutest things I think I've honestly ever made I don't do scarecrow very often or like scarecrow themed crafts so these definitely are some of my favorites that I've made and it was just with a block of wood and even if you don't have access to a saw they do sell items like this at the hardware stores or at I'm in Michigan so we have a Menards but if like a Lowe's or a Home Depot you can get pieces like this this next DIY is also with the same wood I'm just going to go ahead and use some black chalk paint to cover the tops and the backs and the sides and all around these wood pieces because this is actually going to be the bottom or you're not actually going to see this part except through the cracks like let's just say that so I'll be using this crackle paint or this crackle it's just crackle it's by Dixie Bell and you have to make sure that you follow directions on this I recently did a video using this and I'll link it down below if you guys if you missed it but you really want to make sure that you are painting one way not back and forth not all around and I kind of did mess up a little bit on some of these it just makes the crackle look weird so you want to make sure that you follow the directions so once it was all done and dry and I was like oh my gosh like the cardboard got stuck to this I was getting kind of frustrated so I'm like okay use the back side honestly it didn't matter once I painted so I don't know why I was getting so frustrated over something so silly. To make this go faster of course I'm going to use a hairdryer I have this little Conair hairdryer I use in my craft room all the time I think I picked it up for 12 or 13 dollars from Walmart and I've had it for a few years actually so you know you can buy the most inexpensive hairdryer and it does seem to last and work so you can see on this one the crackle didn't work as good on the bottom part that's because I kind of didn't paint the way I was supposed to you can't really tell but I can I'm using these little wood stems from Dollar Tree and if you don't can't find the wood stems you could probably just go outside cut a piece of your tree down and cut a bunch of little wood stems using some that was from Walmart some greenery some flowers are from Hobby Lobby and or Dollar Tree they did have those but Hobby Lobby does have them this year again and then I'm just kind of decorating them to however I'd like and I think these are so cute I think they turn out so good and that crackle is super fun to use it is kind of messy if you do get it all over it is very sticky but in the long run it is 100% worth it and these look so cute. Window clings are so fun to use especially when you have glass jars like this one this was a pickle jar and I am just adding a window cling to this not gluing it nothing and then we're just going to go ahead and add some eucalyptus to this these eucalyptus leaves were from Dollar Tree a couple years ago and that's honestly all I had to do with this and then I can just peel off that window cling and use it for a different craft. I think window clings are the easiest to use on glass obviously because they are meant to throw on windows so if you do pick up any sort of glass jar or vase or the next DIY I'm using is with these candlesticks from Dollar Tree now these I don't even know how much these cost anymore they were a dollar when I bought them once upon a time and I'm just adding some small window clings to this and then I can decorate it for different holidays and honestly personally these were some of my favorites that I did these little fall ones I don't like them because these candles smell like nothing uh but they do look really cute sitting on a shelf one I'm using two of these wooden what are these pens I think they were pencil holders from Dollar Tree I'm using Mod Podge for these window clings and I think that these look really good on this wood color I also like to paint the backgrounds white I also think that looks good with window clings and I'm just using two of these smaller pumpkins and I'm gonna add some greenery to these and you have some really cute fall decor. Next up this is an older DIY and I'm honestly kind of sad by it because these were some of like these were really fun signs to use I'm gluing these two together but I used to actually rip them apart and use that gingham or that checkered pattern as some sort of border along signs I used to grab two of these and make some really cute like square signs they were just it was just like the it brings back the old Dollar Tree in the old YouTube days of crafting of course adding some window clings to the side once everything was painted adding some moss adding some little pumpkins and I don't know why I thought that I needed to glue these pumpkins in because well I mean the moss really wasn't securing them and they were just kind of sticking out regardless uh greenery and this is this is super cute you guys that is it for the video I hope you enjoyed these cheap and simple DIYs for fall if you like this video give it a thumbs up and if you are new to my channel I would love you stick around and subscribe till then I will see in the next one bye!
