Simple & Classy Fall Decor on a Budget

So like just about everyone else, fall is my favorite season. And winter. Basically September through December is the best. Anywho, I wanted to share the simple touches I added to my room. I really tried to keep things blending in with my decor I already had.

This is the top of my dresser. Far left we have Juan, my plant who just celebrated his 1st birthday. I've never kept a plant alive this long so congratulations Juan. Next I picked up this cute little crate/tray from the Target dollar spot for $3 and put the two Dollar Tree bottles I already had in it. My alarm clock and my lamp are from Walmart. The Boo sign is also from the Target dollar spot and the gold pumpkin was a Dollar Tree find last year that I just gave a quick coat of gold spray paint.

This is the ladder shelf I have in the corner of my room. On top I have a paper mache letter "L" spray painted gold, and an Ikea plant and pot. 

Second shelf down houses the orange glitter pumpkin was snagged after season last year from Kmart for something like $0.96 :o and the silver is from the Target Dollar Spot. 

Next is a little apothecary jar I got from Goodwill filled with gold acorns also from the Dollar Spot. Beside that are two little elephants I spray painted silver and gold too. The "All you need is love and a cat" candle thing was a gift.

Next down I have my DIY coffee table books and a candle holder and candle.

On the bottom shelf I have a DIY mirrored box (DIY to come) and a cloche with some fake flowers sitting on a book.

So there are my simple touches for now. I may end up adding more but I like how it's turned out so far!

"Give Thanks" DIY Banner: Cute Thanksgiving Decoration

Today I have a cute banner just in time to decorate for Thanksgiving!

I picked up a roll of burlap, some stencils, and fabric paint but also used scissors a hot glue gun and a paint sponge.

I created a stencil of a triangle the size I wanted my banner to be and cut them for each letter, along with some for spacing.

I stenciled the letters onto the triangles,

then folded them over and glued them to some twine. 
I added it to my window to go with the leaf banner I made last month.

What do you think?

DIY Gold Leaf Frame Art

I swear my crafts are always the simplest. This is literally so simple.

All I did was spray paint some faux leaves gold and stick them in a frame.

That's it folks.

DIY "Blessings" Leaf Banner

It's November!

I'm not sure how, because it seems like just yesterday I graduated high school. This year is FLYING by. 

Today I'm sharing yet another simple dollar store craft.

Today I used some twine, faux leaves, stencils and paint.

I stenciled the letters onto the leaves, and once they dried threaded them onto the twine.

I tied mine up on the handles of my dresser, which I think turned out pretty cute!

DIY Glueless Leaf Candle Holder

I've seen these all over Pinterest, but I didn't like the idea of gluing the leaves to the outside especially because I feel like they'd sorta peel off. Instead I just took some fake leaves and lined the inside of this little stemless wineglass. I just used a led tea light candle, because it's definitely a fire hazard to have the loose paper by flames. 

Another super simple dollar store craft!

DIY Dollar Store Leaf Garland for Fall

I'm "fall"ing in love with fall this year. I have plans for lots more decorations, but I'm starting out small since it is technically still summer. I've been wearing crew neck sweatshirts daily in hopes that the temps will stay below 60 now! :)

I'm starting out with a simple garland I made with some string, hot glue, and some leaves from the dollar store. I picked up two packs of 50 (way more than I needed) from the Dollar Tree. 

These leaves didn't have stems so I glued varying lengths of string from each one, then tied all of them to a long piece of string in a pattern.

And that's it! Super simple, but super cute.

What are you "fall"ing in love with this autumn?

xoxo, Lacey
