I have already shared my Dollar tree Fall decor ideas from the past and now I am onto this year’s fall dollar tree craft projects.

When I hosted my husband’s 50th party I shared with you some party crafts and decor ideas I had.

Dark wax optional.  I just happened to have some on hand from my recent project of painting our rocking chairs with chalkyworthy.

After that dried which was not long, I came in with my small artist brush and painted my little pumpkin face on the vase.
