Pumpkin, spice, and everything nice! Autumn is here and we are here for it! Of course, we would all love to sweep through Target and pick up everything our little hearts desire. However, that may turn out to be an expensive store run. So, how can you achieve your own beautiful table centerpiece for the perfect tablescape this autumn? A little mod podge and a hot glue gun should do the trick. What’s even better? Sweeping through Dollar Tree for the remaining items you will need for this DIY Autumn Decor post.
