Find of the Week
Dollarama has these beautiful wood trays for fall in a variety of patterns. The inside of the tray measures 15 by 11 inches, a decent size for something you can get at a dollar store for five bucks. I believe Dollar Tree has something very similar in their Plus section.
You could refinish this tray for any occasion you cared to once the fall season has passed.
Quick Tip
You can add some fall flair to an upholstered chair effortlessly by draping the back of it with a pretty dollar store kitchen towel in a coordinating colour.

When making a trivet for your kitchen, all you need are a few basic and inexpensive supplies. Most of them can be found at Dollar Tree or another dollar store. When considering a pattern for your trivet, don’t discount peel-and-stick paper or Dollar Tree wallpaper sheets. Almost any pattern that pleases you can be employed by using a printer.

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year for crafting. That’s mainly because the colours of the season are my absolute favourites. This fall decor inspiration is courtesy of a piece I found at Dollarama that features 3 four inch wood leaves in autumn colours.

I always find such pretty napkins at the dollar store, no matter what the season, and it’s hard for me to resist buying new ones even when I already have plenty at home. Apart from coming in handy when you have company, they are also great for decoupaging. Since I haven’t done any decoupage for a long while, I thought I’d try my hand at making a set of coasters using some plain wood squares I found in my stash.
I think my efforts paid off nicely. Pick up some dollar store cocktail napkins in a pattern you love, and decoupage a set of wood coasters for fall.
