This Thursday I have some of my Dollar Tree fall decorations to share. I saw some silver pumpkins this year that were larger-but priced $15.99. This small one was $1. I just spray painted it and rubbed a little antique glaze over it to "tarnish" it.
Also from Dollar Tree -this topiary I made last year- is made from a candle holder and 3 pumpkins. I sprayed them white, rubbed the glaze on them, pulled off 2 of the stems and glue gunned them in a stack. $4 + paint
The crow tree I made last year got lost in the attic- I only bought 2 crows this year because I know I'll find the lost ones sooner or later. I sprayed some twigs black and glued on a few leaves (also from Dollar Tree). Under the tree is a
place mat that I glued on the rest of the package of leaves. I had plans of making
place mats for a
tablescape, but I ended up giving away 2 of the mats and used the rest of my leaves on the lampshade I showed last Friday!
I guess Lulu did not appreciate the crows in the house because she hunted this one down!
Check out the other "Thriftiness" at
Leigh's place! I always come away with some ideas to file away for inspiration!

Love the silver pumpkin! And the pumpkin topiary. Very nice :)
You have some great ideas. It's amazing what those items would look like at my house -- probably look like a basket of dead crows on a bed of leaves - but you, you make the same items look elegant. WOW. Thank you :)

What fun and creative projects. Your fallen crow made me laugh. I have to be careful with what I decorate with. Everything can become a toy! LOL!
Thanks for sharing!
