Dollar Tree Fall Placemat Makeover

by blewis | Aug 5, 2024 | Fall/Halloween, Holiday | 37 comments

The Dollar Tree started putting out some of their Fall and Halloween decor. They have some placemats that caught my eye and that I just knew we could get creative with.
The supplies that I’ll be using are listed down below.
1. Dollar Tree placemat
2. Cardboard
3. X-acto knife
4. Chenille ribbon
5. Black and Rustic Orange spray paint by Rust-oleum.
6. Hot glue
The first step is to trace the placemat onto a piece of cardboard. You can find a pumpkin shaped and a leaf shaped placemat in the Dollar Tree.
Once you have the placemat traced onto the cardboard you’ll then use the x-acto knife to cut it out.
Once you have it cut out you’ll then spray paint it. I’ll be using the Rustic Orange spray paint first.
Once the orange spray paint is dry you’ll then place the placemat on top.
Once you have the placemat in place you’ll then spray on your second color. I’m using a flat black over the rustic orange.
Once the spray was dry I then glued a ribbon around the edge.
This is so easy to make and will make a great Fall decoration in your home.
I hope you’ll get creative and give this a try.

    The leaf and pumpkin are both really neat deco items. Ran to my dollar tree yesterday, no placemats😢. Darn it. I am anxious to see what new ghost ideas you come up with. I would love to see more scarecrow and witch dyi’s. Can’t find the dam ghost with the word. Lol

    I love how you made this. I looked at 2 Dollar Trees and couldn’t find the placement. Amazon has the placement, but it is a little pricey.
