What will you make for Fall? #MyRepurposedLife #fall #decor #thriftstore #dollarstore #reclaimed #wood #repurposed via @repurposedlife

    I love Fall. With the changing of the seasons, it’s fun to change up your decor adding fun Fall Colors. These DIY Rustic Fall Projects will spur you to think outside the box with your decorating for Fall.

    DIY Rustic Fall Projects

    I would love for you to pin this Fall Collection and share it!

    In order to make it easy for you, the projects are grouped below.

    Rustic Outdoor Projects for Fall

    Hello Fall Pallet Pumpkin

    This Hello Fall wooden pumpkin is made from pallet boards! It’s perfect for your yard or front porch.

    Welcome Shutter Rustic Ladder Fall Porch Decor

    Repurposing old ladders is a great way to change up your Rustic Fall Porch. Part of a broken bi-fold door makes a great Welcome Shutter Sign.

    rustic fall sign Give Thanks

    Liz Marie gives you awesome tips on aging new letters to make this Rustic Fall Give Thanks DIY Sign. Because she already had the large board on hand, and the letters were purchased at Wal-mart this was a very frugal project.

    we are thankful rustic fall porch decor

    If you have a rustic board, make your own stencil and paint a We Are Thankful DIY Sign. That’s the best thing about DIY, you can put your own spin on your project.

    Rustic Fall Home Decor Projects

    Fall Fireplace Screen

    Many times I call bi-fold doors shutters. Vintage shutters are difficult to come by in these parts. Using two bi-fold doors it was easy to make this Fall Fireplace Screen.

    farmhouse Farmers Market pillow

    Susan from Oh My Creative! shares how she used iron on sheets to print her own design onto a pillow she made out of drop cloth material! Y’all know how much I love using drop cloths for all sorts of applications.

    painted basket with hydrangeas for fall decor

    Dried hydrangeas look beautiful in a painted basket! Well, it’s not really painted, and it’s not really a basket. Yep, it’s a collapsible tote Diane bought at Wal-mart. It’s a temporary solution, but can still be a tote when needed.

    rustic fall centerpiece

    Maybe you have jars on hand like Tonya did. If not you could easily pick some up at a thrift store to make a similar rustic Fall centerpiece. I’m in love with the cute little paper rosettes!

    diy acorn garland

    Krista made a simple Acorn and Pinecone Garland for her Rustic Fall Vignette. Isn’t it beautiful hanging on the mirror resting on the blue buffet?

    rustic fall tablescape

    This pretty Rustic Fall Tablescape is brought to you by Laura and At Home Store.

    farm fresh produce bin fall decor

    A cabinet door and inexpensive wire baskets come together to make a great Farm Fresh Produce Bin.

    Dollar Store Ideas for Fall Decor

    dollar tree grapevine wreath for fall

    Can you believe this is a Dollar Store Wreath? Christina worked her magic on putting together this awesome Fall Grapevine Wreath from the Dollar Store! Look at those tiny lights! Adorable!

    dollar store crackle pumpkins

    Easy crackled dollar store pumpkins with a little help from the yard!

    Reclaimed Rustic Wood Projects for Fall

    rustic fall wreath using reclaimed wood

    Do you love this Reclaimed Rustic Wreath as much as I do? Carrie gives you all the details on how to make one yourself.

    apple-crate-made-from-reclaimed-wood-and-five-gallon-bucket-handle-MyRepurposedLife.com_

    It’s apple picking season! Make a cute apple caddy, perfect for Fall decor using old fence boards, a handle from a five gallon bucket and a reclaimed spindle!

    reclaimed wood diy sign

    April made a beautiful Hello Fall Sign out of part of a reclaimed antique school desk. But! April says the desk was beyond help.

    scrap wood pumpkins

    Amanda enjoyed using her scrap wood to make some cute (and easy) wooden pumpkins! She was feeling the need to be creative, I think we can all relate to that, right? This one’s cute, but I am partial to the blue one! Smile

    rustic wood slice garland

    Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your hubby knew you so well as to save a branch from the yard knowing you would find something to do with it? You can’t beat a free project from Mother Nature. Amanda used an easy transfer method for the lettering to make the perfect Thankful Garland!

    Thrift Store Finds Rustic Fall Decor

    pumpkins from decorative wood trays

    Do you know what Monkey Pod Wood trays are? Sarah does, and she comes up with the best ideas. She turned a couple of wooden trays into fun and unique pumpkins! Do you see Bert & Ernie? Winking smile  That’s the way I always describe TALL or ROUND real pumpkins.

    chair planter with yellow mum

    Pick up a chair at a thrift store and turn it into a chair planter for the yard. Joan will show you how to cut out the seat in order to allow room for a large pot of mums!

    thrift store rustic vase using textured paint

    You won’t believe that this was just a clear run of the mill thrift store vase. Lucy transformed this vase with paint and some small wooden hoops. Amazing!

    Pin it!

    Wow! Aren’t those projects awesome? It’s hard to choose a favorite, but if there’s something you just absolutely LOVE, please let me know in the comments. I love bringing great collections to you!
