1. Fall Mini Cutting Board Sign

Grab a small charcuterie board to make this cute Fall Mini Cutting Board sign. I found this mini-cutting board at Target for $5! It’s 5″ wide x 10″ tall and it came in this rich, dark wood color.

If you prefer lighter wood or need a smaller size, you can buy mini-cutting board blanks in craft stores or online, here are a few I found on Etsy and Mini Charcuterie Boards on Amazon.

To make the pumpkin, I painted a wood slice orange, glued on a green ribbon for a stem and free-hand painted vines. The wood cutout ‘hello fall’ came in a package of six fall sayings from Dollar Tree. If you can’t find wood cutouts, vinyl letters or letter stencils and acrylic paint would work too.

See the video above to see how we made this Fall Mini Cutting Board Sign.

2. Thumbtack Studded Pumpkins

Bling out foam pumpkins with metal thumbtacks. You can use spray paint or chalk paint mini foam pumpkins white (if needed). Next, push thumbtacks or decorative upholstery tacks into your pumpkin to create a design.

Experiment with different patterns to add a unique touch to your fall-tiered tray.

3. Wine Cork Frame

You’ll need about 30 wine corks (more or less depending on the size of your tiered tray) to make this free-standing picture frame. Just hot glue the corks together and add twine or ribbon to hold a photo or Fall message.

If you need a little inspiration, download, and print these Free Fall Printables.

See the video above for more detail on how to make a free-standing cork frame.

4. Pumpkin Candy Jar

To make a pumpkin candy jar, simply cut the top off of a small foam pumpkin and glue it to a mason jar lid (or a small salsa jar like I did here). Fill it with candy and add it to your fall tray or make a few to give as gifts!

See the video above for more details on how to make this cute pumpkin candy jar.

5. Mini Fall Leaves Topiary

This fall leaves topiary is a mini version of a slightly larger topiary that I made for a table centerpiece. To give this smaller topiary a fall feel, I decided to wrap the Styrofoam base with pages from an old book.

6. Paintbrush Scarecrow

Grab your hot glue gun and a few supplies to make this cute paintbrush scarecrow. Here I used a 2.5-inch chip brush from the hardware store, a 1-inch (flat-sided) wood bead for the nose, 2.5-inch wide burlap ribbon for the hat, and a little raffia for the hair.

The supplies above are just to let you know what I used. Feel free to use a larger or smaller brush and cut burlap into strips if you have larger pieces on hand.

See the video above to learn how to make a paintbrush scarecrow.

8. Thread Spool Garland in Fall Colors

Grab some old wood spools or buy a few new ones here to make this cute fall garland. I wrapped 1-inch thread spools with fall-colored yarn and added a few wood beads to make this fun garland.

9. Birch Log Owl

I bought birch logs in the craft section at Walmart and used the largest log (in a set of three) to make this fun owl. The diameter of the log was about 3-1/2 inches.

To make an owl, cut a log down to size and angle the top. We used a chop saw but a miter box and hand-saw would work too. Next hot glue felt for the eyes, washers, and a felt beak and wings.

See the video above for more details on how I made this cute birch log owl.

10. Ball of Twine Pumpkins

This Fall tiered tray DIY couldn’t be easier. Add a stick or cork for a stem to the center of a ball of twine and decorate with ribbon, or faux leaves to make these fun rustic pumpkins!
