🍂 10 Low-Budget Ways to Decorate for Fall with Farmstand Finds

Fall doesn’t have to break the bank when it comes to making your home warm and welcoming. In fact, some of the simplest—and most beautiful—decor comes straight from the farmstand. With mums bursting with color, pumpkins stacked high, apples by the basket, and jars full of goodness, you can create a cozy fall look for your home without spending a fortune.

Here are 10 creative, low-cost ways to bring that farmhouse fall charm to your place:

🎃 Pumpkins & Gourds

1. Pumpkin Candle Holders
   Hollow out mini pumpkins and tuck in a tea light or battery candle. Perfect for lining tables, porches, or even the dinner table on a chilly night.
2. Painted Pumpkins
   Skip the carving mess and paint pumpkins with chalkboard paint. Write Scripture verses, family names, or even your dinner menu right on them!

🌼 Mums & Blooms

3. Mum + Pumpkin Planters
   Hollow out a medium pumpkin and slip a potted mum right inside. It’s instant rustic charm that looks like you hired a decorator—but you didn’t.
4. Front Step Trio
   The classic combo: a big mum, a plump pumpkin, and a basket of apples. Place them together on your porch for a welcoming farmhouse look.

🌾 Farmstand Produce

5. Apple Candle Holders
   Hollow out small apples and drop in tealights for a table runner that smells as sweet as it looks.
6. Veggie Centerpiece
   Fill a wooden bowl with Concord grapes, apples, or even canning tomatoes. Surround it with mini pumpkins and a few mums for a centerpiece straight from the farm.

🍞 Kitchen & Baked Goods

7. Rustic Breadboard Display
   Set a loaf of sourdough on a wooden cutting board, tie on a sprig of rosemary with twine, and—voilà—you’ve got a centerpiece that doubles as supper.
8. Cookie Jar Charm
   Stack homemade cookies (like peanut butter fingers or half moons!) in a clear jar with a ribbon. It’s tasty and decorative all at once.

🪵 Easy Extras

9. Nature Garlands
   String dried apple slices, popcorn, or even colorful leaves for a simple garland. Hang it on your mantle or across your porch railing for that country charm.
10. Gratitude Basket
    Keep a basket on your counter with slips of paper. Each day, family members can write something they’re thankful for. By Thanksgiving, you’ll have a basket full of blessings.

✨ Wrap-Up

With a little creativity (and a stop at the farmstand), you can make your home feel warm, inviting, and festive this fall—without spending big. Pumpkins, mums, apples, and even jars of goodies can become part of your seasonal décor.

So grab a basket, pick your favorites, and let your home tell the story of fall—farmhouse style. 🍎🎃🌾
