Festive on a Budget: Fall Mantelpieces

By Sarah Lalond

Getting festive this fall doesn’t mean you need to break the bank. If you’re like me and won’t buy something unless it’s an absolute necessity or if you want to avoid spending $50 on decorations, here are inexpensive options to seasonally decorate your place.

Add sparkle to your room by purchasing these adorable mini pumpkins. At Walmart, these lightweight, styrofoam pumpkins are 98 cents each. A set of four bedazzled pumpkins is available at Dollar General for $3.

A garland ties the entire set up together by bringing in the warm colors of fall. Walmart has a $2.98 six-foot leaf garland and Dollar General offers a three-foot fall garland for $3.

If glitter pumpkins aren’t enough shine for your decor, bring in LED tealight candles. After the sun goes down, bask in the ambience set by the cozy glow of the tealights. A pack of four tealights is $2.44 from Walmart and Dollar General sells four candles for $2.

Declare the tidings of pumpkin season and all things fall with a cute sign. This wall hanging is $1.97 at Walmart. You can wish your guests pumpkin kisses and harvest wishes or to eat, drink and be thankful with a $1 festive sign from Dollar General.

Start getting spooky for Halloween with this not-so-scary spider and mini cauldron, priced at $1.24 and 74 cents from Walmart, respectively. If you want more arachnid friends, Dollar General has three spiders for $1.

Celebrate the changing of the seasons in the cutest possible way with adorable autumn decor.
