If you’re like me, you’ve been finding some “new” vintage finds over the summer. You’re excited to work them into your Fall home decor. The easiest way to make them look their best in your autumn displays is to add seasonal-looking decorative filler.
These decorative vase fillers can be stored after the season is over and used year in and year out. Just have plenty of ziplock bags handy. Many of these materials can be gathered from your (or a park’s) yard, found at the thrift store, or picked up inexpensively online. When you’re styling your autumn decor, you’ll be so happy to have these items on hand for that finishing touch. Here are some of my favorite decorative vase filler ideas to have on hand for beautiful autumn decor.

Fall Vase Filler Ideas From The Pantry
Many beautiful Fall vase fillers can be as close as your pantry…or the nearest grocery store. These staples look lovely layered in glass containers. Some even provide cozy fragrance while they look good.
They can also be glued to styrofoam spheres as DIY decor balls. Once you’ve got your vessel filled with these dry goods, you can top off the arrangement by sticking something decorative out of the top- sticks, faux flowers or berries, or battery operated candles. My latest “Fall Textures Glass Jar Centerpiece” is a great example.
- dried bean soup mix
- dried peas or solid colored beans
- dried fruit slices: apples or oranges
- cinnamon sticks
- chesnuts
- mixed whole nuts
- coffee beans
- popcorn kernals
- candy corn or other seasonal candy
Stockpile These Fall Textural Fillers
These purchased items are great to have on hand when you need them. They can be placed in any vessel (I prefer vintage;) and will instantly turn it into pretty decor. I store them in ziplock bags or plastic tubs when they’re not in season.
- jute rope
- burlap
- feathers
- decorative spheres–feathered, grapevine, seeds
- spanish moss-gray or mossy green
- mini apples or mini pumpkins
- preserved fall leaves
- Fall berry stems
- chunky potpourri
- evergreen sprays
- mini haybales
Vintage Fall Vase Filler Ideas
Subtle colored but textural vintage collections en masse look wonderful as decorative fillers in the Fall. Fill an old wooden bowl, a glass container, a galvanized bucket, or any container that has weathered patina. You can find these vintage goodies secondhand at estate sales, thrift shops or online.
- old books
- vintage keys
- rag balls (especially with cozy or plaid fabrics)
- wooden thread spools
- old clothespins
- vintage brushes
- old buttons

You have so many fabulous ideas to make simple Fall decor by filling vases! I would love to share this with my readers in our weekly newsletter this Friday! Thanks for the inspiration!
Go right ahead and share a link to my post, Donna; thanks!
So many great ideas. The pheasant feathers are my favorites. Happy Fall, my friend.
Yes, they make such a big impact, don’t they? So easy to pop a bunch in a cute vessel.
Thanks for these great ideas they will certainly help make Fall decorating more interesting, pinned.
Glad you enjoyed the ideas, Marlene!
All fantastic ideas! I am going back and forth on the farmhouse decor for fall. I wanted to go with whites and warm woods since I haven’t done that but all the color in your fillers makes me change my mind. At least I finally got some feathers! Love this post. Bring on the fall friend!
I do love the Fall colors, so I’m ready to fill the house with them! Really the only time I enjoy using all the warm colors.
Very helpful post to gather many items I already have that I wouldn’t have thought to use in my fall decorations. What an amazing collections of colorful porcelain? Metal? Ceramic? teapots. Where on earth did you find them all?
Good eye, Pamela! The little teapots are enamelware. I’ve enjoyed a lot of my brightly colored enamelware in my porch cupboard this summer. Think I started collecting the enamelware teapots right out of college. I’ve got most of the colors I’ve seen, but if I ever come across a more unusual style/color for a good price, I’m happy to bring it home;) I usually decorate with the whole collection in the Fall.
