Styling the Basket for Fall!

After it got chilly Sunday, I realized I was very delinquent in styling the basket for fall! So here it is…the pumpkin candle holder in front was a gift (as was the original basket, from a different person). Everything else in here didn’t cost me a lot at all!

The jars were a gift – I asked for and received a box of mason jars for Christmas a few years ago, which had my family asking if I was taking up canning, but I explained it was (so far) just for crafts purposes. The pumpkins were from the dollar store – I used some gold glitter paint I had on hand from an earlier project on the plain orange ones to give them a little sparkle, and it’s hard to tell from this picture, but there are two more dollar store pumpkins in there with flowers attached (the flowers also came from the dollar store). I bought the “Hello Fall” sign at an end-of-season sale. I’d estimate the whole project, including the paint I bought just for these jars, cost me no more than $15!

As you can see, I also did the fireplace – I think I paid full price for the Pumpkin Spice Season picture because I just couldn’t resist it, but the rest of it is all dollar store specials with the addition of some glitter paint and flowers!

Hope you like my fall decorating, and I hope this inspires you to look at your local dollar store for things that can be made into seasonal decorations!
