20 Simple Budget-Friendly Fall Decorating Ideas
Fall is such a pleasant time of year. You can sit outdoors with a jacket, sipping on some hot cocoa, and watching the leaves fall. What could be better than that? Crafting and DIY projects!!! Before we get started, I wanted to point out a few things for you to be looking for when you are heading to consignment shops, yard sales, or thrift stores. They may have some deals that are too good to pass up.
- Wreaths – Any kind of wreath can be transformed into a gorgeous fall decoration. Grapevines, wire, and hoops are my favorite fall wreath forms. Be on the lookout.
- Vases and Jars – Keep your eyes peeled for various-sized vases and jars. They can easily be turned into a mantle decorating piece or even a centerpiece for your dining room table.
- Ribbons and Bows – I love adding ribbons and bows to many of my crafts. It’s an inexpensive way to add some fun and flair to whatever you are working on.
- Leaves, Pinecones, and Sticks – Okay, so you may be able to get a lot of these items in your own backyard! If not, you can hit up a nearby park or purchase an imitation version for crafting.

Manuela,
You always have such great ideals. I look forward to your post every week.
Sandy
Thank you Sandy!
Manuela these are wonderful ideas. It’s hard to believe it’s almost that time again. I’m hanging on to summer as long as I can but I’ll be watching these blogs and will break down and do some fall decorating soon. Have a great day! Pamela
What wonderful ideas. Just the other day I was in an antique mall and picked up a silver ice bucket and put it back down again. Now I wish would have kept it!
LOL! I had one and donated it last year. Now I wish I had kept it!
Love the use of burlap! The candles and the wreath are both awesome and look easy enough for me to tackle! Have a blessed day dear Manuela, HUGS!
Great ideas, Manuela! I’ve done the pumpkin on candlesticks one on my mantel and will probably do it again this year. We had a nice taste of Fall in the air the past couple of weeks, but this week turned hot and humid again.
All great inspiration. I am ready for Fall, I am tired of the decor I have for summer and ready to move on to something new:)
It’s so not autumn here yet but your pictures and the linky are inspiring me. I’m making a note to myself to participate.
These are lovely and make me long for cooler days! I especially love the mini pumpkins on candlesticks and will be considering that one especially if I can find those cute yellow pumpkins!
Hi Steph,
Just spray paint the ones you have. That’s what I do. I’ve spray painted mine red, yellow, black, green etc. I buy the fake ones at the end of season and then you can just do what you want to them.
hi manuela
thanks for the wonderful inspirationen. love the idea from the last photo,really easy,but soooooooooo beautiful!!!
wish you a nice week,
regina
Very nice fall ideas! I like the pumpkins on the candlesticks–I have similar candlesticks on my mantle; I could just swap the candles out for pumpkins!
absolutely! So easy right!
May I use your graphic about Fall Decorating as a button in my sidebar or are you making a button?
I need to find some burlap…
Hi Vee,
You can find burlap at Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann, Hancock etc. Do you have those near you? If your Wal-Mart still carries fabric (mine doesn’t) you may also find it there. Even Michael’s has burlap wide ribbon that is commonly used to make wreaths.
You most certainly can use that graphic. I also have a smaller one on my fall decorating pinterest page if you don’t want to resize the one in the post.
Thank you!
Perfect – I’m all about Fall right now!
It’s all so pretty, but I am not ready! It’s 90 degrees and sunny, and I cannot part with summer just yet. I also wanted to say thank you for stopping by and leaving comments. I really appreciate it, and I don’t take the time to say thanks often enough.
LOL! Well it was feeling like fall here but now it’s hot again! I’m tired of summer. It’s been hot, humid, wet and generally not like any other summer we’ve had here in Georgia. No fun. I’m ready to move on!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog. I appreciate it! You have the most beautiful photographs so it’s always a pleasure to visit you.
Hi Manuela, I love your colorful style. The ideas are just irresistible.
Thank you Lilly!
We’re hot here again, which is good. We needed another blast of summer before we turn the seasonal page. Still, I’m enjoying thinking about what’s to come and look forward to your new series! 🙂
For years, I have stubbornly refused to think fall until the temperature gives me permission. THIS YEAR, I’m stepping out early. I enjoy the season. I enjoy decorating for it, and why not just embrace it? I’m excited for your September series and love these ideas.
Thanks Debbie! I don’t normally start decorating for fall until October because I usually plant a fall garden. But not this year. So I can get an early start!
Autumn is my favorite season and I cannot wait to pull out the fall decor. Last year we had my dd’s wedding in October and used a lot of burlap and old silver, so I’ll be using the leftovers this year.
After a week of perfect fall temps, summer has returned with a vengeance to Nebraska, with the phrase “oppressive heat” in the forecast for the next 7 days at least. I’ll wait another week or so to decorate, but leaf garlands might just be the thing to beat the heat, huh?
I love burlap and silver together! It’s not quite as fallish today but it’s still cooler than it’s been all summer. I’m ready for fall!
It’s hard to believe it’s already time to think about fall decorating!
Mary Alice
I am so ready! Thanks for showcasing my banner, easy peasy and fun!
It’s hard to believe that almost a half a year has gone and now we are ready for fall. All these fall decorating ideas are great.Love the color and styles!!
Those are all great ideas, I have opened one in a new window so I can pin it. Thanks!
So many great ideas.
I am sooo NOT ready for fall. Summer flew by too fast and since it’s still in the 90’s here in West Texas, we don’t feel like it’s fall until late Sept. or Oct.
When I do get ready, I sure will use some of these great ideas, tho. 🙂
