Dollar Tree Silver Tray Wreath

September 19, 2017 by Bre 6 Comments

Over the years I’ve made quite a few pieces of door decor or wreaths from Dollar Tree supplies.  (Take my Fourth of July Tinsel Wreath or my Egg Tray Wreath for Easter, for example.)  I just can’t help myself!  Every time I go to Dollar Tree I find cute new supplies that call out to me, and I am forced to create.  It’s a real problem, friends (the creating and the fact that products at Dollar Tree talk to me.  HA!)!  On a recent trip, I bought supplies to make an atypical fall wreath for my backdoor – and today I’m going to show you how to transform a Dollar Tree silver tray from the party supply section into a beautiful Silver Tray Wreath!  Transform a silver tray into a wreath! Learn how to make a Dollar Tree silver tray sparkle as a beautiful fall wreath in this post.

Supplies Needed to Make a Silver Tray Wreath

Some of these links are affiliate links.  Please read my full disclosure policy here.

  • Silver tray (I purchased a nickel plated metal serving tray at Dollar Tree)
  • Chalkboard paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Light gray and dark gray acrylic paint
  • Sponge
  • Chalk
  • Faux fall leaves (I also purchased them at Dollar Tree, but here’s an alternative)
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue
  • Mini 3M Command Hooks
  • Ribbon

How to Make a Silver Tray Wreath for Fall

I started with this plain silver tray from the party supply section at Dollar Tree.  These are actually really sturdy and they come in three shapes/sizes.  They’re great for crafting and entertaining!  Transform a silver tray into a wreath! Learn how to make a Dollar Tree silver tray sparkle as a beautiful fall wreath in this post.

Next, I turned the center of the silver tray into a chalkboard with my favorite chalkboard paint.  I used two coats of chalkboard paint to make sure there was good coverage!  Transform a silver tray into a wreath! Learn how to make a Dollar Tree silver tray sparkle as a beautiful fall wreath in this post.

Once the chalkboard paint was dry, I worked to take the shine down on the silver tray, and to make it look like it is aged or antique.  I began by lightly sponging on acrylic paint in a light gray color.  I gently dabbed the light gray paint all around the edge of the tray.Transform a silver tray into a wreath! Learn how to make a Dollar Tree silver tray sparkle as a beautiful fall wreath in this post.

When that light gray paint dried, I then used by sponge to rub dark gray acrylic paint along the raised portions of the silver tray.  Unlike with the light gray paint where I dabbed the color on, this time I rubbed the color on in order to accent those raised portions of the tray.  Transform a silver tray into a wreath!

This painting technique went a long way toward giving my Dollar Tree silver tray an aged look!  Transform a silver tray into a wreath! Learn how to make a Dollar Tree silver tray sparkle as a beautiful fall wreath in this post.

Once that paint dried, I cut leaves off of my Dollar Tree fall leaf garland and began to hot glue them around the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the silver tray.  I layered them and angled them in different ways, rather than lying them flat and in a row.Transform a silver tray into a wreath!

Next, I flipped the tray over and attached two 3M Mini Command Hooks to the back, upside down.  These things are my go-to for just about everything that needs a hook.  I love them!  I then ran a ribbon through the hooks and tied it at the top.  Transform a silver tray into a wreath!

Then I flipped the tray over and gently ran a piece of chalk all over the chalkboard portion of the tray to season it.  Next, I tried to write “Hello” in fancy script on the front.  (Note: need to practice chalkboard lettering!)  Transform a silver tray into a wreath!

Before I hung up my Silver tray wreath, I bent my ribbon streamers and hot glued them to the edges of the tray.  Then my silver tray wreath was ready to be displayed on my backdoor!  Transform a silver tray into a wreath!

How to Decorate for Fall Entertaining with Color, Texture, and Pattern

Thank you to Cost Plus World Market for sponsoring this post.  The fall decor and entertaining ideas you’ll see are all my own.  This post contains affiliate links, and to read my full disclosure policy you can click here.

The kids are back in school and the weather here in Chicago is getting more crisp with each passing day.  My favorite season is almost here, and I cannot wait to share my love of all-things-fall with my family and friends!  Intimate gatherings with comforting foods and cozy decor (like at the Beer Tasting Party I hosted last fall), are right around the corner, and I’m getting ready for fall entertaining by creating a dining room that’s filled with gorgeous color, texture, and pattern.  After one visit to my local Cost Plus World Market store in the South Loop, I think I’m all set!  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

Back in the day my fall decor was a little more, shall we say, obvious.  At one point I remember declaring that my house would look as though a pumpkin patch had exploded inside of it.  While I still love pumpkins, fall leaves, and scarecrows as much as the next pumpkin spice latte loving lady, my taste has matured a bit, and now I’m decorating for fall in a more subtle way.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

Working with colors, textures, and patterns that embody the changing season, I’ve created a lovely fall dining room that’s perfect for entertaining!  This year I think my first get together will be a fondue party.  (Except for the lactose intolerant, who doesn’t love a party that centers on cheese?  Am I right?)Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

I bet your friends and family would enjoy a nice evening at your home this fall, so let me give you my tips on how to decorate for fall entertaining with color, texture, and pattern!

Pick an Inspiration Object for Color

It was so easy to pull together a look that works for the changing season because I started with these salad plates as my inspiration.  I love the fall oranges, reds, and yellows, and the fact that these plates have such an interesting design.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

These plates served as the jumping off point for all of the other items that adorn my entertaining space this fall.  I think that’s a great way to decorate a room: find an interesting object you like and allow it to guide your subsequent decor choices.  Even if you think you have no idea how to decorate, using an inspiration item’s colors to inform your other choices will help you make good decisions.

For example, I chose these golden yellow buffet napkins because that color is in the plate.  I guarantee you I never would have purchased anything this color if I would have seen it in isolation.  But with the plates, it works!  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

The same is true for the gorgeous blue pressed glass goblets.  Sure they’re pretty on their own, but look how gorgeous they are with the contrasting gold napkins!  Thank you, salad plates, for putting these colors together for me.Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

Add Some Texture

Once you’ve followed your inspiration object’s color lead, it’s great to add in some items with texture.  Because I had a lot of color already happening in this entertaining space, I decided to add texture with neutral elements so as not to go overboard.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

These placemats woven from natural materials are my new favorite thing.  They will work for any single occasion, holiday, event . . . you name it!  And they’re not boring.  Their woven pattern and thickness makes them assets to the table instead of something that’s commonly overlooked.

Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

And don’t even get me started on these fabulous wood handled utensils (forks, knives, and spoons).  To me, wood is a perfect decor element for fall because it’s just so “nature-y.”  (My inner outdoorsman is coming out there with that “word.”)  You cannot help but pick up these utensils.

And finally, this pretty puff ball wreath on the mirror opposite the dining table is 100% texture.  A fall wreath on a mirror is a pretty fall decorating idea to use in the dining room. See more fall decor ideas in this post.

Play with Pattern

Because the salad plates that inspired this fall entertaining space already have a lot of pattern, I worked with simpler patterns on other things in an effort to layer the look in a way that is not overwhelming.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

This striped table runner, for example, grounds the entire table.  It uses the same shades seen elsewhere on the table, but has a simple pattern that makes it interesting and not overpowering.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

And using pattern in a different way, by creating small groupings of similar objects, is another way to get a sophisticated look.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

Here I used three mini faux kale pots to perk up the butler tray stand in the corner of the room.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

Metallic candles and white pumpkins grouped throughout the table also create understated patterns, which make an impact on the dining table.  Fall decor made simple! This post gives three tips for fall decorating using color, texture, and pattern to create a fall dining room that shines.

DIY Faux Concrete Pumpkin

October 19, 2016 by Bre 4 Comments

These days you can find pumpkins made out of just about anything.  It’s a little ridiculous, but people (myself included) are obsessed with pumpkins and I guess we’ll buy them no matter what they’re made of.  I spotted some concrete pumpkins in a catalog a while back and thought they were pretty cute – especially for the front porch.  They were kind of pricey (and heavy), so I thought I’d try my hand at making my own with a faux finish.  It turned out pretty well, so I decided to share this tutorial for a DIY faux concrete pumpkin with you in case you also like the look.  Faux concrete pumpkins are easy to make and a perfect pumpkin for your porch! Get the tutorial on how to make concrete look pumpkins in this post.

How to Make a Faux Concrete Pumpkin

SUPER simple project!  I started with a plain pumpkin that I wiped down to make sure was clean.  Faux concrete pumpkins are easy to make and a perfect pumpkin for your porch! Get the tutorial on how to make concrete look pumpkins in this post.

I sprayed it with a couple of coats of the stone spray paint according to the directions on the bottle.  It took a while longer to dry than it said it would, but it was pretty humid the day I did this so that is probably why.  Faux concrete pumpkins are easy to make and a perfect pumpkin for your porch! Get the tutorial on how to make concrete look pumpkins in this post.

After it dried, I decided it looked a little flat, so I added some gray acrylic paint in the grooves to give it some dimension and to highlight those crevices.  Faux concrete pumpkins are easy to make and a perfect pumpkin for your porch! Get the tutorial on how to make concrete look pumpkins in this post.

Then I tied some decorative ribbon around the stem and popped some faux maple leaves on there for some color.  TIP: if you do this and want to add leaves and a ribbon to the top, I’d recommend using a faux pumpkin with a longer stem than the one I used.  The ribbon kind of hides the stem and it looks a little funny.  Faux concrete pumpkins are easy to make and a perfect pumpkin for your porch!

Not a bad way to get the concrete pumpkin look at a low price!
