These simple ideas are diy projects anyone can make for the fall season. Make an easy centrepiece for the dining table and fall crafts for every area in your home. For me, this season calls for the bold and vibrant colors of orange, red and gold, but you can incorporate whatever fall colors you love.
Here’s inspiration for 7 inexpensive fall decor ideas. They are all budget-friendly ideas using traditional fall colors and are easy to make. Everything you need can be found at Dollar Tree or another dollar store. A few craft supplies are all you need to complete your fall decorating.
Thanksgiving Treat Bags
Party favours, such as Thanksgiving treat bags, placed by each plate on a holiday table also add an attractive fall décor element. They often do double-duty as table decor.
Treat bags are fun to make and budget-friendly, so you can save money, too. Dollar stores, like Dollar Tree, are great places to find the supplies you will need to make these treat bags on a budget. See the full tutorial by clicking the link.
Fall Lantern
I love to decorate with lanterns. They add so much charm to home decor and hint at a time before the convenience of electric lights. I made this lantern during the autumn, so I decorated it using fall leaves and natural elements like pinecones. It made a pretty addition to my fall décor.
Here’s how to make a wood lantern and ideas for decorating it for the fall season. I use LED candles in most of my decor these days and they are readily available at most dollar stores, as well.
Fall House Number Sign
This harvest season, make a unique fall house number sign using supplies you can find at a dollar store. Every season, Dollar Tree has large pumpkin signs. They are generally covered with glitter, but you can turn them over and use the backs to decorate however you choose.
Check out this tutorial for making a unique house number sign this autumn.
Autumn Centrepiece
For me, inexpensive fall decorating ideas always start with a trip to the dollar store. For example, this beautiful centerpiece began with a long sign I found at Dollarama. Then I used a variety of pumpkins, pinecones and autumn leaves, along with two battery-operated candles and some string lights to complete it.
Take this basic concept and incorporate your own decorating ideas, perhaps using dried flowers, to make this fall centrepiece your own.
Fall Drink Coasters
The beauty of these coasters is that they double as fall decorations. To make this simple idea, all you need is a package of 3-1/2 inch felt leaves and some craft glue. I made a set of four, because I always think in terms of four when it comes to sets of things, but you could make as many as you think you might need.

Fall-Themed Cloche Miniatures
Decorate for fall using these small cloches that you can usually find at Dollar Tree. I love decorating ideas that involve using miniatures. They are so much fun to create. The ceramic miniature and a miniature pumpkin package came from Dollar Tree, too.

Fall Sign
I love displaying this fall décor on a picture easel but it could be used as wall art, too, as the wood plaque came with a metal hanger on it. I found this curved-edge wood plaque at Dollarama but Dollar Tree has similar ones.
If you craft, you probably have a collection of fall leaves in your stash. You don’t need a cutting machine in order to add text, either. The word “fall” on this sign is from a set of window clings. Find a list of all the supplies you’ll need and the full tutorial for this fall sign.
