But if you're like me, money might be tight. We have bills to pay...college tuition...car payments and we need to stick to a budget when it comes to decorating.

Today I'm going to share with you ideas on ideas on Decorating for Fall on a Budgetwithout spending a lot of money. And yes, a lot of these items I'm sharing with you I've had for years.

Tips for Decorating for Fall on a Budget

Glass Jars

This is a new idea for me for our kitchen hutch. I found my inspiration from a recent visit to Lancaster, PA and walking through the beautiful Old Candle Barn. I took a galvanized tray and placed a few glass jars on top.

Galvanized Trays

I have quite a few galvanized trays and I love to use this one on the dinning room table looks great filled with mini pumpkins, pine cones, berries and leaves. You can't see it, but I have the red seeds at the bottom of this tray also. This galvanized tray was a birthday gift from my mother.

But you can find others for not much money on Amazon. I've listed a few below that would look great filled with mini pumpkins, gourds and pine cones.

Popcorn Kernels and Candles

Glass Jar with Candle and Popcorn. Yes, just a bag of popcorn that you can purchase in the grocery store. I actually had the popcorn in my pantry. The small jar is a mason jar and the large jar is one that I use for seasonal decorating quite often. I love the look of the lit jars in the mirror of our hutch.

A close up of the jars on our hutch in the kitchen. I filled one with the red kernel seeds and the other with paper mache mini pumpkins and star anise. I love these mini pumpkins! They look so cute!

Star Anise is something I've been using more in my decorating especially around candles because of the smell. They smell amazing when added to simmering potpourri as well.

Think Outside the Box

Ten years ago, a week before Thanksgiving actually, I purchased the ceramic pumpkin for under $10. It was on clearance at Walmart.

It's a soup tureen and I have used it to serve hot apple cider when entertaining, but I think it looks pretty on our side board in the dining room. Sometimes you need to think outside the box when decorating and use an item differently!

I found a few different soup tureens on Amazon that would work just as nicely in your home and they're not that expensive either!

Create a cosy autumn scene in your home with your very own collection of crochet pumpkins. Play around with colours and yarn weights to create a unique look for your pumpkin patch. While autumn leaves are falling, create a chic macrame design to suit the season!

Group everything by season or holiday, and then by type of décor. Store items that you use only once a year in separate bins from items that you switch out multiple times a year (i.e. seasonal candles or fake florals). Use uniform storage containers.
