12 Upcycled Projects to Help Decorate for Fall

I’m all about cheap and easy decorations for the holidays.  If I can reuse something I already have, save something from the garage, or buy it for super cheap at a thrift store, it’s my type of project.  ALL of these fall decorations are just that – upcycled from stuff you might already have laying around the house, or thrift store finds.   (Click on the image to view the complete tutorial.)
