- Base Paint Everything: Use matte black, white, or metallic spray paint to transform cheap plastic into high-end decor.
- Layer Textures: Combine burlap, ribbon, faux moss, and twine for depth.
- Shop Early: Popular seasonal items at Dollar Tree sell out fast, so stock up on blank foam frames, glass jars, and plastic skeletons in early autumn.
