If you are looking for something fast, easy, and beautiful, I have to say that dollar store supplies are my go-to choice. This easy dollar store DIY fall centerpiece is a perfect example of a beautiful decoration that is super affordable. Needing something easy to make that is also pretty - I love reaching for items like this to add to my table.
DIY Fall Centerpiece Using Dollar Store Supplies
If you are like me, then as the holiday season approaches you have grand plans of decorating and doing all sorts of things, but then your budget and time are suddenly gone. When that is the case, I turn to things like this fun little easy centerpiece. Not only is it easy to make, but it's beautiful! Plus, using dollar store supplies means it fits into my already limited budget.
I love sharing unique ideas with you that fit into that busy lifestyle, and this is one I am super proud of making. One thing to remember when making this is that the glue you use and the spray paint will need to sit for some time to dry. In that case, you'll want to make it ahead of when it is needed by at least one day.
What Ways Can I Customize This Centerpiece?
I love that the stand itself is pretty but also somewhat plain. That makes it easy to use for different things any time of year. However, you may want to jazz it up a bit and make it a little different. If that's more your style, below are some ideas that I think would look great with this fall centerpiece.
- Spray with different colors for different styles or seasons.
- Use tissue paper or a sponge on the damp paint to add texture to the base.
- Glue on ribbon or lace for a different look.
- Glue beads or rhinestones around the plate edge.
- Spray the entire stand with glitter spray.
Can I Use This For Other Seasons & Holidays?
I made this very simple so it was versatile for different holidays. Gold works well at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, and even Easter. So, if you want to leave this gold and just add different items for the holiday you are celebrating, it's a perfect solution to your decor!
Supplies Needed
- Glass margarita glass
- Glass dessert plate
- E6000 craft glue or strong adhesive
- Gold Spray paint (Rustoleum is our favorite brand)
- Fake fall leaves
- Pumpkins in various sizes and colors
How to Make a DIY Fall Centerpiece
Turn the margarita glass face down. Then place a generous amount of the E6000 glue to the bottom of the glass around the edges especially. Spread it evenly in a thick layer.
Press the plate to the glue and hold it in place until it is secure and set making sure it is centered.
Set this aside and let it dry for at least 3 hours.
Once dry and set, apply gold spray paint all over the centerpiece.
This usually will require 2 coats of paint. Let the paint dry well between applications to prevent drips or smudges.
Let the centerpiece dry completely then add fall leaves, pumpkins, and fall picks to decorate.
Place on the center of your dining table or on an end table for Thanksgiving!
