Just as fashion trends frequently change throughout the year, your\u00a0home\u2019s d\u00e9cor<\/a>\u00a0and style can as well. Not only could it be costly to your wallet and carbon footprint to buy items only to decorate for a short time, but you also may be overlooking some of the most beautiful and inexpensive decorations of all.

Table D\u00e9cor Made of Cereal Boxes:\u00a0<\/strong>Industrial-inspired decorative spheres<\/a>\u00a0are a great accompaniment to any centerpiece as they are upcycled from used cereal boxes, fasteners and spray paint.\u00a0Taryn\u00a0from\u00a0Design, Dining and Diapers\u00a0blog\u00a0chose a metallic color to complete her look, but any color will work for this project. Your friends will never know they cost you less than three bucks to make!<\/li>\n

Your visitors will feel the holiday cheer before they ring the doorbell.<\/li>\n
  5. Leafy Artwork:\u00a0<\/strong>You can extend the beauty of\u00a0Fall\u00a0leaves by\u00a0coating them with wax paper<\/a>;\u00a0they are\u00a0then\u00a0perfect for\u00a0embellishing\u00a0wreaths and centerpieces. Children also can get in on the fun as they create artwork of\u00a0\u201cleaf people\u201d<\/a>\u00a0using various shapes and sizes of\u00a0foliage.<\/li>\n
  6. Picture Frames Trimmed in Acorns and Sticks:<\/strong> Give\u00a0unsightly picture frames an earthy\u00a0look by\u00a0attaching acorns to the boarder<\/a>\u00a0or collect\u00a0sticks of various sizes from your yard<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0create a new one!<\/li>\n

  10.
