​2. Wooden Pumpkin Block
​These are simple, and adorable!  If you have an old 2×4 laying around the garage somewhere you should be able to pull this off in no time.  Find a decent sized twig, and some orange paint and you are nearly there. This idea also comes from Pinterest.  You may want to sand the edges and distress the paint for a weathered look.  So cute!

​3. Fall Candle Vase
This popcorn kernel vase is a great way to bring the fall harvest indoors.   What a great way to dress up hurricane vases you can find at your local $1 Store.  The raffia bow tops it off perfectly.

Also a totally doable DIY with a little chalk board and some printable stencil lettering if you don’t want to try and freehand it like I did.

5. Farmhouse $1 Store Pumpkins
These took 30 minutes to make, and I have them on display as soon as you walk in to my store- and I have had so many people ask to buy them!  Crazy!  They don't start off being the most realistic pumpkins, but with a little bit of creativity, well, here you go! 

• Dark Brown wax
• Gray Chalk Paint
• Branches for the stem

6. Give Thanks $1 Store Pumpkins
​This is a great $1 hack from A Diamond in the Stuff.  She shows us how a little bit of spray paint and a Cricut goes a long way
