Welcome Fall With DIY Wood Tray Full of Mums

Okay, so it’s not quite officially fall, but I’m so ready to bust open my autumn and Halloween projects that I decided to get going here at Small Talk Mama. And what’s fall without a few mums around the house (honestly, I can’t seem to go to the store without coming home with a new fun color)?
Last week I purchased a small trio of pink mums for my back porch ($1 each) just to show off my latest repurposed project made from two sticks of old picket fencing leaning against a backyard tree. It was the last of some salvaged fence parts and was just enough to create this adorable little rustic wood tray. Considering I had some old drawer pulls that needed a home and nails enough to go around the world twice, this project barely cost a thing, except for the little feet underneath to give the tray some breathing room. I picked up those for a couple of bucks at the hardware store. Read more at the link listed.
I white washed some pots and added mums to create a cute little fall setting on my DIY repurposed wooden tray.
Here is the finished tray without the additional décor. I used two old fence pickets some screws and drawer pulls to create this project.
The nail-in feet gives the bottom of the tray a bit of breathing room and stability.
Here is a close-up look at the end of the tray and pulls.
