DIY: cheap decor

Growing up with a interior decorator as my mom, I was more excited about decorating my dorm room then actually going to college. I picked out my beddings and revolved that around my main color schemes. I spent my summer making knick knacks, going dorm room shopping, and bedazzling block letters of my initials. I know some of you may have not been as into it as me, but there is still some fun for everyone in decorating a dorm room. Not only can it spice up your room, but it can also fall under your decorating budget. Here is a little project I did to add some vibrant colors to my room. Do it yourself: dorm room addition…

Supplies:

1. Canvas: Pick up some small cheap canvases. You can usually find these at a local craft store such as Michaels or Joanns. They are cheaper if you buy them in a pack of five or so. You will want to use more then one anyway!

2. Spray Paint : Grab a can of spray paint in a color of your choice. You may want this to be bright or soft depending on the next step.

3. Fake Flowers

4. Hot Glue gun

Crafting time!

Spray paint the canvas in one color and set aside to dry. Then cut the stems off the flowers and hot glue the flowers to the canvas. It is as simple as that. Depending on your colors you can do a soft background paint with a big pop of color with the flowers. Or vice versa. As an art freak I was inspired but a painting I saw a while back. This gives just about the same idea but with a cheaper value!

Ta Da!
