Creating an Autumn Tray with Dollar Tree Items
With fall here, there are so many items that can be used to create an autumn tray for your home. Sometimes these items can come from things you already have, from your yard, from the Dollar Tree or a combination of these. My Autumn tray is a combination.
If you are coming over from The Antiqued Journey, thank you.
I am so happy to be joining Katherine, from Katherine’s Corner for a delightful event, an, “Autumn on a tray tour”.

For my Autumn tray, I found this light up pumpkin at the Dollar Tree. I thought it would be great for Halloween, but then realized that I wanted this tray to stay out all fall. That meant it had to change a little.
First off, I removed the black netting. It was still not right. The stem was black.
So I decided to wrap twine around the stem to fit in with the rest of my tray.
I found the ribbon at the Dollar Tree and made a couple of bows.
I had bought the pumpkin and leaf sprig at Hobby Lobby on sale. I already had the metal acorns, but you could use real ones or store bought ones. You could also use small pine cones.
I also had the red and yellow leaf candles and some berries to put in the center.
I am sure you can find similar items to create a tray of your own. The great thing about fall, is that you will find so many great items that you can use to create your own Autumn tray.

DeleteThank you so much for the sweet words about my autumn tray. I had fun creating it. Always amazed how many things you already have that you can use and add to.
Hugs,
Bev
Such a pretty tray Bev! Love all the colors from the pumpkins, leaves, and bows. Adding twine to the stem of the large one brought it right into the fall season! Great touring with you today!
ReplyDeleteDenise,
DeleteThank you so much. I loved that pumpkin but just needed to make it fit in with my tray.
Happy tray tour.
Hugs,
Bev

So cute, Bev! I love how you transformed the light up pumpkin.
ReplyDeletePam,
DeleteThank you so much. I just had to change that pumpkin up for the season.
Have a lovely week ahead.
Hugs,
Bev
I am 110% diggin' your lil pumpkin! And it lights up!!! What a great conversation piece for your autumn conversation tray :) Warmly, Jenny from Not Entirely Average
ReplyDeleteJenny,
DeleteThank you. I loved that light up pumpkin too and wanted it to be part of my tray but it just didn't fit until I changed it. Now, I love it.
Hugs,
Bev
Very pretty and beautiful fall colors. The pumpkin you made looks great. Pinned
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. That pumpkin was the starting point and how it caused so much change to get it right.
DeleteHugs,
Bev
Your tray is lovely. The Dollar Tree is great- all you have to have is vision & imagination. I love how you transformed that halloween pumpkin to fit perfectly into your fall vignette. SO great to be hopping with you today. XO- MaryJo @ masterpiecesofmylife.com
ReplyDeleteMary Jo,
DeleteThank you. I agree, so many great items at the Dollar Tree, you just have to make some changes sometimes. Glad to be hoping with you too.
Hugs,
Bev
Beautiful tray Bev! I love the twine addition to your light up pumpkin. I really want one of the long cutting board trays. They are so cute. Pinned & I've been following you on Pinterest & IG.
ReplyDeleteNiki,
DeleteYou are so sweet. I got that tray from a friend of mine last year that had a shop up north. I use it all the time. Loved that light up pumpkin before and even better after.
Hugs,
Bev
Love that you used a bread board Bev. The plaid ribbon and tablerunner are perfect for fall. And how fun that you have your pumpkin lighted. I'm just a fan of traditional fall colors. It's a gorgeous fall centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteYou are so sweet. I got that bread board last year and it has become one of my favorite items to decorate. I like traditional colors too.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Bev
Bev, I love that you used a cutting board for a tray. It looks so pretty. I bought the same pumpkin but all black from the dollar store. I love how you transformed it. It is a pleasure to be touring with you today.
ReplyDeleteI love my cutting board and use it often. I bought the black pumpkin too and have it with some other Halloween decor but wanted the orange one to be more for fall.
DeleteLove seeing all of the decorated trays.
Hugs,
Bev
HI Bev,Love the tray! Don't you love it when we find a go-to tray! laura
ReplyDeleteLaura,
DeleteI so agree with you. I bought that tray last year and use it all the time. I love it.
Hugs,
Bev
What a unique pumpkin you found, Bev. It is the star of your tray!
ReplyDeleteAnn,
DeleteThank you. The funny thing was that originally, I did not have it as part of my tray. It was not until I started to deconstruct it that it became the center piece.
Hugs,
Bev
Hi Bev, loved the board you chose for the tray. It has that well-used feel that makes it a homey start to your display. The pumpkins add lots of texture and mix so well with the natural elements. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLynne,
DeleteSometimes you just get an item that you want to use all the time. That is this tray.
It is always on my table or somewhere decorated.
Thanks for the kind words.
Hugs,
Bev
Bev, what a beautiful display. I really like the bows and that you changed the look of the light-up pumpkin by using jute.
ReplyDeleteHappy October hugs,
Rachelle
Rachelle,
DeleteThank you so much. I loved that pumpkin but loved it even more once I had updated it to fit my tray for fall.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs,
Bev
I love that twine you wrapped around the stem, Bev - what a brilliant idea! It's totally right for your lovely tray! Amazing what you can get at Dollar Tree. I've got to remember to stop in there more often. Thanks for the inspiration, and as always, it's great touring with you! :)
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
DeleteIt seems that you need to buy when you see it at the Dollar Tree or else you won't see it when you go back - that has been my experience. I was not sure what I was going to do with that pumpkin, but loved it.
As I started to take it apart, I started to like it better for my tray.
The twine was a last minute idea.
Hugs,
Bev
This is adorable Bev! I love the vintage bread board you used as a tray and way you made over the pumpkin so it would work! The pumpkin looks so cute perche on top of the leaves and berries surrounded by pumpkins acorna and bows. The tray looks fantastic styled on the plaid table runner, this just might be my favorite of the hop!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Jenna,
DeleteOMG, you are too special. I love that tray and use it all the time. I have just not posted anything about it. I was going to use another pumpkin that I made but kept playing with that one to make it work. lol!
Hugs,
Bev
Isn't it incredible how the quality and design of decor at Dollar Tree has improved? Same with Dollar General. And you clearly found some darling items that came together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAngie,
DeleteI agree with you. The quality is great and even great as you make it fit as something else. These stores really have a better selection than they use to.
I love that.
Hugs,
Bev
I love your thrifty tray! The colors are warm and welcoming. Thank you for joining in the fun. Pinned! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteKatherine,
DeleteThank you so much. I really had fun with this tray and I am so delighted that I decided to join your tray tour.
Hugs,
Bev
Bev, it's always amazing to see the huge variety of trays that are built with essentially the same ingredients -- pumpkins, acorns, fall ribbons/fabric and candles. Truly great inspiration! I especially liked the reminder that you can tweak what you have or what you buy to fit your vision! Happy touring with you!
ReplyDeleteSandra,
DeleteI agree, there have been such a lovely variety of trays created. Each one unique and beautiful using similar fall items - different types, textures and in different ways.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Bev
I love this cute little cutting/breadboard tray! You did such a beautiful job of arranging everything! This looks very professionally done and so far, for me, you’ve come in 1st place! I’m still going through each one but I think yours is a winner! Beautiful, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh you are so sweet. You brought tears to my eyes. I didn't think mine was that great, just great to me. You have certainly made my day and month!
DeleteHugs,
Bev
