I recently took a trip down to my local Dollar Tree, and I was excited to find a few more fall decorations in the store. They already started putting up some Christmas decorations, so finding these items put a smile on my face. 

I created this cute fall truck decoration that can you can easily add to your current fall decor, or use with a theme. For this project, you only need a few materials. If you're ready, let's create this fall truck! 

Materials needed for this project

one truck plaque

 four wooden mini pallets

 LED pumpkin lights

 Fall leaves and other fall assorted decorations. -Pinecones, acorns, and mini pumpkins. 

 You will need hot glue and paint. I used red, and black paint for my truck. 

**Optional, but very useful** Include two craft clothespins. This will help keep your truck balanced when glued to the back of the pallet box we will be creating. 

This DIY project costs around $7

Applying paint to truck plaque and wood pallets

Start by taking your truck plaque, and applying your paint. Once you have done this, set it aside and allow it to dry. Next, take your four wooden pallets, and apply paint on each one. You can paint the front and back, or you can just apply the paint to the front side.

Once you have added your paint onto your truck, and your pallets, take your pallets, hot glue, and glue them together. Lay one pallet flat, and apply hot glue to one side. Add one pallet standing up, and continue this until you form a square. You will have one side without a pallet. The side without the opening will be glued up against the back side of the truck.

Attaching pallets and clothespins to truck plaque

Once you have glued your pallets together, attach the side with the opening to the back side of the truck.   As I mentioned earlier take your two craft clothespins, and attach them to the back of your pallet. You will glue them to the bottom of the pallet box. This will help keep your truck balanced and keep it from leaning or tipping backward. 

Once you have done this you can now add your fall assorted leaves, pumpkins, and flowers. 

Once you have added your fall decorations to your truck bed, you can now add your LED lights. If you are unable to find these pumpkin lights, any mini lights will do for this project. 

You're all done! Be sure to add this to any space, and enjoy!
