Dollar Tree Fall Decor FAQ
You can decorate your house cheaply in the autumn using natural seasonal elements like pinecones, preserved fall leaves, twigs, branches, and acorns. Pair your seasonal finds with Dollar Tree items such as candles, faux pumpkins, ribbons, faux fall florals, and much more.
You can also repurpose your everyday items. For example, add some dollar store autumn flower arrangements to a glass vase, basket, or planter.
Dollar stores are a treasure trove for budget-friendly autumn decor that has so many crafting supplies and materials to make your own unique pieces.
Decorating indoors for fall can be as simple or elaborate as you like.
Choose a color scheme that suits your personal tastes and style. Do you want a traditional color with warm autumn hues like reds, oranges, and browns? Or a neutral farmhouse-styled color palette with whites, grays, and tans.
Add cozy textiles like fabrics, banners, throw blankets, and more in these hues. Consider placing vases filled with faux autumn flowers or branches on tables.
Fall mason jar crafts are popular and can be filled with candles or seasonal items.
Don’t forget to decorate your fall mantel; it’s a perfect place for DIY fall garlands made from faux leaves or a display of dollar store pumpkins and gourds. Also, free fall printables can be added to Dollar Tree picture frames for an instant autumn update.
The timing for putting out fall decor can depend on your personal preference and regional weather, but many people begin decorating at the start of September or once the weather begins to cool down. Labor Day in the United States marks the unofficial end of summer. If you love the autumn season and want to enjoy your decor for as long as possible, you can choose to start earlier.
With a little creativity and a visit to your local dollar store, creating cozy autumn decorations doesn’t have to break the bank. Embrace the joy of DIY projects by mixing and matching these simple yet stylish ideas. Also, be sure to give your DIY home decor some of your own unique style. Happy fall decorating!

Hi stephy, just wondering how do you keep your burlap from unraveling? Thanks hon.

Hi Kathie 🙂
Using fabric stiffener or modge podge on the ends will keep the burlap from fraying.
