Dollar Tree Halloween Tiered Stand

by

I love a good Dollar Tree Halloween craft, and this DIY Halloween tiered stand is one of those projects that proves you really don’t need expensive supplies to make something spooky and impressive.

This project uses simple plastic plates, bowls, wine glasses or candle holders, black spray paint, and a few Halloween decorations to create a dramatic tiered display stand. The raven on top gives it that perfect haunted-house feel, while the black finish pulls everything together so it looks much more high-end than the supply list suggests.

What I really like about this project is how flexible it is. You can make it tall and dramatic with several layers, or simplify it into a shorter version if you want something for a mantel, entry table, Halloween party buffet, or spooky centerpiece. The skeleton hands at the base are optional too, so you can make it as creepy or as classic as you like.

This is also a great project for using up random Halloween decorations you already have in your stash. Add mini pumpkins, faux spiderwebs, battery candles, skulls, ravens, potion bottles, or even wrapped candy for a Halloween party display.

Fall Quilt Set Sale: Cozy Ready-Made Quilts for an Autumn Bedroom

I love a handmade quilt, but I also know how many evenings go into making one. Sometimes you want that warm, layered look on the bed this weekend, while your own sewing project is still a very optimistic pile of fabric beside the machine.

That’s why I’ve been browsing ready-made fall quilt sets on Amazon. A quilted coverlet can change the feel of a bedroom quickly, whether you’re drawn to pumpkins and maple leaves or prefer autumn colours you can leave out all year. Add a couple of cushions, a lamp and the good book you keep meaning to finish, and you’ve made yourself a lovely place to retreat.

Amazon prices and offers change, so check the current price before ordering. It’s also worth checking the dimensions and what’s included. A “three-piece quilt set” usually means one quilt and two pillow shams, rather than sheets.

Fall quilt sets with seasonal prints

Vintage Autumn Maple Leaf Patchwork Quilt Set has the sort of leaf-and-patchwork look I’d choose for a guest bedroom in autumn. It gives you that collected, cosy feeling without committing to a full bedroom makeover. I’d pair it with plain cream sheets and let the quilt be the colourful part of the room.

Pumpkin and Maple Leaf Quilt Set is a more playful choice if you enjoy bringing the season right into the bedroom. Pumpkins and autumn leaves make it feel cheerful from the moment you walk in. Keep the surrounding decor simple and it can do all the decorating work for you.

Autumn colours you can use beyond fall

Green Geometric Queen Quilt Set takes a quieter approach to fall decorating. The olive green geometric pattern would look especially good with rust, cream or mustard cushions, yet it’s versatile enough to use after autumn. The listing describes it as a lightweight microfiber three-piece set.

Cottolester Brown Plaid Queen Quilt Set has a relaxed, cabin-inspired look that feels right for cooler evenings. The brown striped plaid gives you an autumn palette without a holiday motif, so it could stay on the bed well into winter. The listing describes a quilt and two pillow shams.
