This is day #1 of the “31 Days of Thrifty Fall Decor” series.
This is a link-up with The Nester, and basically you blog about something for 31 days.
I’ve decided on 31 Days of Thrifty Fall Decor, because there are so many little things I decorate, that I never share. Usually they are free or from the Dollar Store, and I figured you might like some of them.
So……here’s Day #1:
The Dollar Store Leaf Branch.
This branch from the backyard, and a package of dollar store leaves is an easy, and simple way to add some “fall” to your home.
This would look great on:
* Shelves
* The top of a dresser.
* If you used a few sticks or branches in a vase with these leaves.
* On a wall (especially if you had a big branch!)
This best thing about this branch is that it is subtle. It doesn’t scream “Fall Decor”.
How I made this:
I always have this hanging….um, what are those things called? A Reed-weaved “circle thingy” hanging on my staircase wall.
I found a branch in our yard, and the leaves from the Dollar Store are made with wire, so I simply wrapped a few around different sides of the branches.
You can see it through our kitchen or as you’re going down our stairway.
(That verse is actually on our stairway. It’s not from picture editing.)
So, there’s a simple, easy and “thrifty” way to bring a little fall into your home.

I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, a mother of 5, a Jesus lover, a coffee abuser, an obsesser of all things DIY, design and decor related.
Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas. 
Katie that single branch makes a great and colorful statement! Your reed weave circle thingy makes the perfect background for it!
Thanks Danni!
I hope your fall is going well!

So simple and a easy way to add the season indoors. I love your reed circle thingy
care to share where you found it?
Thanks, I found it at a yard sale by my house for $2. I was originally going to make it a note holder.
1st Thessalonians 5:16 is one of my favorite verses…but I have many…
Mine too. Emily at Jones Design Co had it on her office wall and I thought, “I need that verse to smack me in the face everyday.”, so I put it on my stairs.
Thanks for stopping by.

how do you have that basket hanging? i bought some like that, and i’m thinking ribbon on a hook? did we already have this conversation, lol?
The holes in it are resting on a couple nails. A ribbon and a hook would be a great idea!
