Ever noticed how marked-up seasonal wall decor is? Inflated prices, less spendable income, and fewer in-stock products are driving up the cost of decorating. But, imagine what it would be like to create an affordable reversible DIY Fall wall decorating idea to welcome autumn that is larger in size and does not look cheap.
We’ve all contemplated buying a nice piece of autumn decor but when we look at the price tag and consider our mortgages, car payments, lack of additional income, and the cost of living, we whip that price tag right back at the wall art and walk away!

Your project might be the same or different, this is just the basic DIY process I used, feel free to improvise, and change products, especially if product availability is an issue!
Step 1 To Make The Fall Wall Decor DIY
You’ll want to paint or cover the side that you choose to work with first.
If you paint, you’ll need to allow that side of the Fall decorating idea for your wall dry first, and then you can begin working on the other side of the frame.
You can see that I started with the floral frame in the middle and I painted one side of the frame and I covered the other with semi-permanent vinyl glitter paper.
Step 2: To Deck Your Walls For Fall You’ll Need To Paint The Car
If you are using the red farm truck, or a wood farm truck that is unpainted you will need to paint the truck and allow it to dry.
PRO TIP: Add the glitter to the paint if you are going to right after you have painted the truck, then you won’t have to use glue!
Glue the car to the painted board.
Now would be the time to add ribbon to the exterior portion of the framed area, like I did in black gingham, again totally optional but it definitely added to the Farm feel IMO!
Step 3 Add Those Pumpkins and Cars To Your Affordable Autumn DIY Wall Art
Once the car is glued on, and the ribbon is added, add the pumpkins and the sunflowers it truly rounds out the decorating idea to welcome Autumn.
Sunflowers are truly a Fall flower and the pumpkins sparkle giving a little bit of needed glitz.
Add the trucks by using your glue gun making sure to space out the trucks and the words!
Step 4: Use Big Bold Letters To Welcome Autumn
Using simple dollar store letters, I lightly glued them to the board.
I used glue because they were not adhering to the paint!
Don’t forget to add some more sunflowers to the autumn double-sided hanging decor to add a little more FALL into the theme.
I also added a little grape-vined ivy and added pumpkins too.
Easily make a double-sided autumn wall hanging decorative item, with easy-to-find items that turn basic into fabulously affordable. ! DANA xo
