I love using Dollar Tree supplies to DIY and decorate my home. The Dollar Tree is the only store where you don’t have to check the price tag when you like something! I’ve found that is not the case when shopping at Home Goods, Target, and other home decor stores. Many of the below DIY projects were inspired by items I saw at other stores. One question I’m frequently asked is how I come up with my DIY ideas. Well, shopping at expensive stores and realizing I can make it for much less is one way!

2. Dollar Tree Mini Signs with Fall Cardstock

 

I wasn’t planning on posting a DIY video with how I made these signs but this was too easy not to share! I’ve seen others replace the background on these small Dollar Tree signs and Target happens to carry scrap paper in the perfect size for these frames. This little booklet of paper (with bonus Fall stencils) is $3 in the Target One Spot section! The patterns and colors complement traditional or neutral Fall decor.

This is a wooden chalkboard banner I made using Dollar Tree supplies… When I shared the wooden pumpkin banner (below), I woke up the next morning with the idea to use chalkboard paint… and this is the result!

 

 

Best of all…these leaf banners can be used as place cards too!

 

 

How cute would these be for a Fall/Thanksgiving table setting?

4. Double-sided Wooden Pumpkin Banner (Fall & Halloween Banner)

 

I was trying to think of something to do with these Dollar Tree wooden pumpkins and I saw a similar wood pumpkin banner at Hobby Lobby so this banner is Hobby Lobby inspired… although I decided to make mine double-sided for Fall & Halloween!

 

 

Dollar Tree sells orange and yellow wooden beads so you can skip painting some if you have those.

 

Supplies:

• Wooden Craft Pumpkins (8 total)
• Alphabet Stickers
• Twine
• Tacky Glue
• Craft Paint
• Chalked Paint 
• Wooden Beads

Directions:

1. Gather Supplies. Please watch the video below with instructions and pictures!
2. Place the pumpkins double-sided against each other so you have an idea which side to paint.
3. Paint the front pumpkin red and the back pumpkin orange and let dry.
4. Gather beads and paint orange and yellow and let dry (skip this step if you found orange and yellow beads at Dollar Tree).
5. Place Alphabet stickers on the painted pumpkins to spell “FALL” on the front pumpkins and “BOO!” on the back pumpkins.
6. Paint over the stickers with white paint and remove the stickers immediately.
7. Touch up any areas on the pumpkins and let dry.
8. String the beads on the twine and place the front and back of the pumpkin so the twine goes through the middle of the pumpkins.
