She Bought Two Dollar Tree Fall Signs and Used Them to Build a Table Centerpiece
Dollar Tree fall signs usually end up hanging on a wall, door, or shelf. Two matching signs can serve another purpose when paired with a container between them. Debbie from Debbiedoo’s used two blue pickup truck signs and a small plastic basket to make a fall table centerpiece. Twine covers the basket, while hay, a velvet pumpkin, leaves, berries, and pinecones fill the center.
The truck signs become the two ends of the centerpiece, turning flat seasonal decor into the frame for a tabletop arrangement.
Two Pickup Truck Signs Create the Sides
Two matching Dollar Tree signs provide the truck shape on both ends. Each sign already includes pumpkins, leaves, and fall lettering, so the printed design remains intact.
Placing a container between the signs changes their purpose. Instead of hanging flat, the signs become the decorative sides of a centerpiece with space for fall decor between them.
Plastic Basket Becomes the Center
Debbie used a small plastic basket from Dollar Tree as the base connecting the two signs. The container holds the fall pieces and keeps the truck panels spaced apart.
Twine wrapped around the basket hides the plastic and gives the hot glue a textured surface to grip when the signs are attached.
Hay Raises the Fall Decor Above the Rim
Small hay bales create height inside the basket, keeping the pumpkin and other pieces visible above the edge. Debbie used one bale but noted that two would have raised the arrangement more.
Hidden filler can serve the same purpose. Floral foam, paper, or another lightweight material can lift the decor without filling the entire basket with pumpkins and foliage.
Velvet Pumpkin Fills the Center
Dollar Tree’s velvet pumpkin becomes the largest piece inside the basket. Debbie removed its plastic stem and replaced it with a stick before placing it among the hay and other fall accents.
Leaves, berries, and pinecones fill the gaps around the pumpkin without covering the truck signs. These loose pieces can also be removed or changed without rebuilding the base.
One Truck Sign Gets Cut to Change Its Shape
Debbie scored the trim on one truck sign and removed part of it to create a shorter pickup profile. She sanded the cut edge and covered the exposed section with orange craft paint.
Twine added around the truck silhouette ties the sign back to the wrapped basket. Cutting the sign is optional, but it lets the original Dollar Tree decoration fit the new shape instead of dictating the finished centerpiece.
Hot Glue Holds the Truck and Basket Together
Hot glue secures one truck sign to each end of the twine-covered basket. The basket carries the pumpkin, hay, and smaller pieces while the signs form the visible ends.
The same construction can work with other matching Dollar Tree fall signs. A small wood crate can also replace the plastic basket, leaving the two signs to frame whatever fall decor goes inside.
