You can find inexpensive wooden spoons at Dollar Tree or in my case Dollar General. At the time I purchased them, Dollar General was having a buy one get one half off sale, and I love when I can save some money!
Create one of kind Christmas decor by simply hand painting a snowman face. If you prefer, you could use your vinyl cutting machine to create a face decal.
Use your favorite pattern of fabric to create a scarf and bow for the stocking cap.
I created a set of three different designs to coordinate together. I made sure to paint each of the wooden spoons and turner the same color, nutmeg brown.
Get creative with their facial expressions, like this cute gingerbread man.
Using a wooden turner, I created a Santa face.
You can create the faux beard by stippling the white paint onto the turner.
As cute as they are separately, they really come to life together!

Mini charcuterie boards can be found at Hobby Lobby for only a few dollars.
By adhering a napkin with a vintage look to it, you can create a beautiful piece to display or even use as an ornament.
Add a ribbon bow and a piece of greenery to complete the look.
Use a musical sheet of scrapbook paper and a wooden nativity set from Dollar Tree to create this stunning piece.

Dollar Tree carries seasonal fabric rolls, typically in the Crafters Square section of the store. But you have to get them when you see them, because they go fast. I love coming up with new ideas to use them, other than sewing. I am not an advanced sewer, at best I can make a basic stitch.😂
Below you will find 7 fall projects you can make using these Dollar Tree fabric hacks. Each one is budget friendly, easy to make, and a fun way to express your creativity.
01|Vase
Create a fall bouquet to place inside a glass mason jar. To elevate the jar, mod podge a piece of fabric around the middle.
For an added touch, cut out the shape of a pumpkin in the center of the fabric, and fill the jar with mini pine cones.
I love the rustic look of this! It would look great sitting on an end table or use it as a centerpiece.
02|Thankful Sign
I couldn’t resist buying this beautiful fabric with mushrooms and leaves on it. At first I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Then it dawned on me that it would make a gorgeous sign.
By simply hot gluing the fabric to a piece of cardboard I traced out into the shape of a pumpkin, and adding a faux leather word to the front, I can now display this beautiful fabric all season long.
03|Busted Canvas
Have you heard of a busted canvas, or punched canvas? I have seen them all over social media this year. I decided to make one for the fall season by using fabric on the backside of the canvas. That’s the plaid you see peeling forward showing the pumpkin image behind it.
If you would like to know the step by step instructions on how to create your own punched canvas, check out my YouTube video at the end of this post.
I can’t wait to make some of these for Christmas!
04|Layered Pumpkin
Decoupaging napkins or tissue paper to Dollar Tree signs can give it an entirely new look. But did you know you can decoupage fabric too?
This beautiful orange fabric with pumpkin and flowers designs has to be one of my favorite fabric finds at Dollar Tree. I painted the pumpkin white and decoupaged the fabric to the layered portions of the sign.
05|Fabric Art
Because I love that fabric so much, I turned into a piece of art.
Find a frame that looks well with your fabric. You can either decoupage to the backing of the frame, or use hot glue to secure it to the backing.
If you use hot glue, make sure to do small sections at a time so you can keep the fabric as tight as possible.
06|Wood Plaque
Make a simple wood plaque to display on an end table, book shelf, or even a tiered tray.
The frayed edges on this piece really help with the rustic feel I was going for.
You could also use fabric to create coasters. I think this design would make gorgeous coasters for fall.
07|Mini Tag
Sometimes you find a playful design on fabric that just makes you smile. Like this project!
Attach your fabric to a small tag sign, add a bow and pine cones, to create a cute door hanger, or to embellish a gift.
I hope you enjoyed these projects! If you have a favorite, leave me a comment below.

Project#1, Solid Wood Pumpkin With A Crackle Paint Finish
This page contains affiliate links, if you purchase through these links I will receive a small commission at no extra charge to you. Thank you for your support.
I know what your thinking, how is this one of the fall projects under $5? Items like this sell for anywhere between $20 to $30 in high end stores or boutiques. The answer is…… most of the supplies can be found at Dollar Tree!
Supply List:
3 wooden oval plaques, you can find these at Dollar Tree in the Crafters Square section of the store
2 different paint colors, I used a dark brown in the color coffee bean, and a lighter color, burlap
Elmer’s School Glue
Wood Stem
Raffia
Ribbon
Faux Leaves
Paint Brushes
Steps To Recreate This Project:
Glue the three wooden ovals together by placing one oval on top of the other two and using a permanent glue for a strong hold.
Paint the entire piece your base color, in my case the dark brown, and let the paint dry.
Apply a generous amount of Elmer’s school glue to only the top part of each oval, while the glue is still wet, paint over the glue with your lighter color, in my case, burlap. I chose to do one oval at a time so I wouldn’t have to rush.
While the glue and lighter color are still wet, use a hair dryer set on high and go over the painted surface, the glue will cause cracks showing the darker color underneath.
Complete the previous step for all three ovals.
Allow several hours for the glue and paint to completely dry.
Glue a wood stem or branch on the back of the center oval, and add your embellishments, such as leaves, raffia, and ribbon.
Project#2 Welcome To Our Patch Door Hanger
This door hanger is another one of the fall projects under $5, actually it cost less than $2 to make!
Supply List:
Wood round with raised pumpkin sign from Dollar Tree
Light brown stain or paint
White Paint
Ribbon
Decal or printable
Steps To Recreate This Project:
Stain the wood round, in this case I used Waverly Antique wax and watered it down to make a light stain so you would still be able to see the engravings on the sign.
Using a sponge dauber from Dollar Tree paint the raised pumpkin white.
Add a Welcome To Our Patch Decal, using a Cricut cutting machine. If you don’t have a cutting machine, no worries, I have this as a free printable, you can download, print at home, and trace onto your project. Click HERE to go to the free printables page.
Create a messy bow using ribbons of your choice to add to the top of your new door hanger.
Project#3 Stacked Pumpkin Sign
Can you believe I found this wooden stacked pumpkin sign at Dollar General for only $3? If you haven’t been to your local Dollar General this fall, you are missing out. They have some gorgeous fall decor at amazing prices. I recently did a shop with me video, if you would like to see all the items my local store had, click here.
If you want a neutral look this fall, this sign is perfect as is. When purchased it was all wood. I wanted a little more of the traditional fall colors on mine, so I painted the bottom pumpkin in a pumpkin spice colored paint, the middle pumpkin in a celery green paint, and the top pumpkin in white.
This sign looks really nice with Dollar Tree’s newest pumpkins. The larger ones sit on their sides.
Project#4 Fall Decorative Cutting Board
This project turned out better than I imagined!
I love big bows! The colors in this bow really pop against this cutting board creating an elegant statement piece.
Supplies Needed:
Larger hanging cutting board (found in Dollar Tree’s Plus section) it was only $3
Paint, burlap color and antique wax
Napkin with design of your choice
Nautical rope from Dollar Tree
5 to 6 different colored and sized ribbons
Mod Podge
Pipe Cleaner and Zip Ties
Steps To Recreate This Project:
Paint the back of the cutting board, so you will be able to have a two sided piece. I painted in a burlap color.
Add a napkin with the design of your choice onto the board using Mod Podge.
Dry brush antique wax on the edges of the board, napkin, and across the board as you see fit to create a more distressed look.
Glue a piece of nautical rope to the top and bottom of the napkin, for a more rustic look.
Create the size bow you want and hold together using zip ties. Then attach the bow to the handle using a pipe cleaner. This way you can flip your sign over and flip the bow. Then you are able to use both sides.

Using tier trays and risers can really take your decorating style up a notch. However, they can be quite expensive. Here are 10 budget friendly do it yourself tier trays and risers. I hope you get tons of inspiration. If you would like to see the full step by step video tutorial, make sure to click on my YouTube video at the end.
Riser # 1 is made using a Dollar Tree cake pan, painted to look like galvanized metal. The base is a ceramic candle holder sitting atop a round plastic container from Dollar Tree, painted a distressed white. This riser can give height in your decor and can be decorated in many different ways.
Riser # 2 is gorgeous! Using two wood rounds from Wal-Mart at $1 a piece, glue wooden beads between the two. I purchase my wooden beads from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3Kqtt0r
The base is a glass candle holder from Dollar Tree painted with white chalk paint and then antique wax added to the entire riser. I love how this turned out, and only cost a few dollars to make.
Riser # 3, is a painted version of riser # 2. Using a distressing paint technique with white chalk paint, you can customize this riser to fit into your color theme.
Riser # 4 has a unique shape. Most risers you see are round or rectangular. Here you have two hexagon shaped risers to give your decor a more modern look. The one on the left has a Dollar Tree candle holder as its base while the one on the right has wooden beads on each corner.
Riser # 5 has a classic look that never goes out of style. This piece is all wood. Using a wood round from Dollar Tree’s Plus section and wooden beads as feet, all stained with Antique wax, gives this riser such a gorgeous finish.
Riser # 6 is stunning! Removing the feet from the previous riser and combining this with riser # 4 (the hexagon riser), takes these two pieces to another level of beauty. The crisp white of the base combined with the beauty of the wood is simply gorgeous.
#7 is a 3 tiered tray that can serve as not only home decor, but can be functional for organizing. It is made from three wooden trays from Dollar Tree and paint stir sticks!
You can use this on your kitchen counter to hold snacks, or on your bathroom counter to organize some of your smaller items.
#8 has to be one of my favorites. This two tier rectangular tray is made from old wooden picture frames, and a wooden leg from a 1980’s coffee table. You can display much larger items, and change the decor out for every season.
#9 is a beauty made from scrap wood pieces. It is sturdy and made to last. I have the decal used here as a free PDF printable (click on the free printable link in the menu). You can print this onto copy paper and use the transfer method onto your project.
#10 is another favorite. It is made from the wooden panels from the Dollar Tree Plus section. Each panel costs $3. An old candle stick is used as the base between the two and 4 wooden beads added as feet. Another nice size tier tray.

Is it the thrill of hunting for that hidden gem, or the savings? For me it is both! I love to go thrift shopping and get so excited when I find some amazing pieces at rock bottom prices. I know they look a little rough around the edges, but with just a little work and elbow grease, you can transform it into a beautiful piece of decor. Sometimes with just a simple coat of paint, you can really bring new life into a piece. And that is just what I did for these 3 thrifted items. To see what they looked like before and to see the full tutorial on all three pieces, check out my YouTube video at the end of this post.
The first item I made over was a wine carafe that I purchased for only $1. I sprayed two coats of Krylon Fusion Spray Paint in the Color Matte White , you can find here: https://amzn.to/3f8YSYf added some black chalk paint and a few greenery stems, turning this used wine bottle into a gorgeous farmhouse decor piece.
The second gem I found, was a small picnic basket. When I picked it up, I could just image flowers and greenery bursting from inside, as if it were growing out of the basket. There wasn’t a price tag, so I was a little skeptical went I went to the register to ask how much it was. To my surprise, it was only $1. What a steal. Using the same Krylon Fusion Matte White Spray paint, and adding buffalo check ribbon, this basket turned from drab to fab.
Adding simple greenery, lavender, and babies breath, and it is just what I imaged it would look like when I originally picked it up.
And the third piece was truly a hidden treasure. Tucked away on the bottom of a shelf was a wooden piece, that I was unsure what it even was. Once I picked it up, I realized it was a charging station. Not just any charging station either, this piece sells on Wayfair for $49, and I purchased this one for $3. Now that’s a bargain. Using the same spray paint and simply adding a decal I made with the Cricut Joy, and now I have a gorgeous, high end, farmhouse charging station to hide all of those messy cords. If you like this decal, don’t forget to check out my free printable page here https://wordpress.com/post/countrylilydecor.com/179 You can print this design out and trace onto your project.
I am pleased with how my thrifted items turned out. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful for your home on a budget. For the detailed tutorial, see my video below. Take care everyone, xoxo Barbara
