FRUGAL WAYS TO
DECORATE YOUR
HOME FOR FALL
It’s time to decorate your home for fall! There are
plenty of inexpensive ways to decorate for fall and
stretch your dollar. Below are some fun and frugal
ways to give your home an autumn awakening.
Display Blankets and Throws
As the days get colder; it is a perfect time to bring
out your blankets and throws. Hang them over the
back of chairs so that they are easy to grab when
you get chilly. You can even hang pretty wall orange
and red quilts on your walls to help welcome in fall’s
spectacular color show.
Make a Fall Wreath
Your front door will look fantastic with a pretty
fall wreath on it, but they can be expensive at the
home decor store. Instead, make a burlap wreath
and decorate it by gluing on miniature pumpkins
or gourds. Hang some Indian corn from the middle
and tie with a beautiful raffi a bow.
Paint Rustic Boards
Rustic old boards are great pieces for fall decorating,
paint your favorite fall words on them and hang
them inside or out to welcome in fall’s ambiance.
You can even create a whole fall corner by adding a
hay bale and a basket of produce.
Employ Galvanized Tubs
Galvanized tubs are a great frugal decorating idea
for fall. You can fi ll them with miniature pumpkins
or gourds. On the other hand, cut a hole in them
and hang them over light fi xtures for a rustic look.
You can even apply stickers on their outside or paint
scenes on them to add to the ambiance.
Display Harvest’s Abundance
Taking an old red wagon and fi lling it with all
the abundance of fall’s harvest is a great way to
celebrate the fruits of your fall garden. If you did
not grow one, then you can still head to the local
farmers market to fi nd apples, sweet potatoes, pears,
cranberries and other seasonally available offerings.
Fashion a Candy Corn Candle
Nothing screams fall as much as the appearance of
candy corn in your favorite store. Grab a bag and
another for snacking before heading home to make
this frugal craft. Just take a Mason jar and fi ll it with
the candy corn and put a battery-operated tealight
candle in it for a display that is perfect for fall.
Etch Fall Glassware
It is easy to make your own fall glassware. Simply
tape an autumn leave on the outside of a glass
or other container. Then, trace around it with a
marker. Next, remove the leave and use glass etching
compound to etch in the design. You can either
drink out of your glasses or fi ll them with nuts like
pecans or acorns to create an autumn display.
Construct a Fall Banner
Fall is the perfect time to make a banner out of
burlap. Paint on them with acrylic paint or cut out
some pretty fall fabric and glue in place.
