Christmas Tree Countdown
Have you ever seen the wooden dice at Dollar Tree? Turn those dice into a Christmas Tree countdown.
Once glued together, they make a very sturdy piece. Paint it the color of your choice, and add stickers for the days. You can add them to the front, back, and the sides!
Glue three Dollar Tree wooden stars together to glue to the top, with an additional star to move through the days. I used an adhesive glue dot on the back, it is easy to move, and won’t damage your paint or stickers.
Santa Chip Brushes
Using different sized chip brushes, paint each of the handles and give them different designs using a paint pen.
Glue fur around the metal portion of the brushes, add eyes, and tiny pom pom noses, to create unique Santa brushes.

Dollar Tree carries stretched canvases in a variety of different sizes and shapes. In the Plus section, you can also find larger canvases.
Snowman Canvas
Remove the canvas from the wooden frame and staple it behind the frame. This is called a reverse canvas. Using wooden pieces you can find at Dollar Tree, attach to the top of the frame to form a hat. Get creative and paint a face onto your canvas. Add in greenery for a pop of color, and you have created a snowman piece of art!
If your not comfortable painting faces, you could find an image on Cricut Design Space and use vinyl.
Light Up Christmas Art
Reuse a Christmas gift bag by attaching it to a stretched canvas.
Poke tiny holes, add fairy lights to the back to light your piece of art up at night.
You can find the video instructions on each of these projects HERE.

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.

Decorate your home this fall in style and on a budget. I’m sharing these fall projects that cost under $5, and are easy to recreate.
Not only are these projects festive and affordable, but they are so fun to make.
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.

Modern Farmhouse DIY Wood Round
To create this beautiful modern farmhouse wood round, measure 7 1/2″ from the right hand side and make a mark.
Place a piece of painters tape on your mark. This should be roughly 1/3 of the wood round.
Measure and mark 4″ from the top and the bottom of the wood round.
Place painters tape on those areas too. If you are concerned with paint bleed through, you could apply a coat of Mod Podge before painting.
Time To Paint!
On the right hand side, paint the top and bottom with two coats of a black acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry.
Place painters tape along the two black lines.
Paint the center section white. You don’t have to paint all the way across, just far enough to past the black lines on the left.
Once your paint is dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge to the natural wood surface.
Allow the Mod Podge to completely dry. We will be covering the natural wood area with a piece of scrap book paper that has a herringbone pattern. You can find this at Hobby Lobby.
To adhere the scrap book paper, lay the wood round onto a heat protective mat. Line your scrap book paper edge to the line you create on the wood round. Lay a piece of parchment paper on top of the scrap book paper and gently go over this area with a small iron set on 300 to 325 degrees. This will heat the dry Mod Podge up and adhere your paper to the wood.
Allow your wood round to cool, then using a piece of sandpaper, go around the edges in one direction to remove the excess paper and give you a nice clean edge.
To protect the paper apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the surface. I applied to the entire wood round to make sure everything has the same sheen.
Adding Embellishments
Once the Mod Podge dried, I added a decal I made using my Cricut machine. If you don’t have a Cricut or vinyl cutting machine, no worries. I have a free printable, you can download the PDF, print at home and trace this onto your project. Then fill it in with paint or a marker.
If your planning on hanging this on a covered porch, I recommend using a long term permanent glue.
Line the other two dowels from the edge of this dowel along the black lines.
Mark, cut, and glue the same way.
Adding Greenery and a Bow
The greenery I chose for the top of this wood round DIY, was two stems of boxwood picks from Wal-Mart.
Place the greenery stems end to end and wrap with twine to hold them together. If you are using a wood round that does not have a hanger, you can also use the twine to create a hanger on the back.
I made a simple bow using some burlap ribbon, and placed a burlap flower from
Did you know that Dollar Tree’s MDF wreath base form fits perfectly on top of these wood rounds? I painted sections of this round with white paint and celery green paint. Using a Dollar Tree furniture marker, I went over the lines to give them a pop of color. Added a decal with two different fonts, and placed the MDF wreath form painted a khaki color on top of the wood round, embellished the top with two wood birds and a wood flower, found at Dollar Tree during the Spring season.
A Fun Owl Door Hanger DIY
How fun is this door hanger? Paint a wooden owl from Dollar Tree with Dollar Tree’s furniture markers in the color maple and oak. Fill in the top and eyes with a black acrylic paint, and the beak with a pumpkin orange paint. Dry brush an ivory color along the edges to give it a feathered look and glue to a Dollar Tree sign.
