Yes. I must admit I am a huge fan of DIY projects. I mean, why spend cash on something that you are perfectly capable of doing yourself? In my case, my dorm room definitely will not be mine forever but for the time i'm there I definitely want it to reflect who I am and I want it to be a comfortable space for me. With that being said, I find so much joy in crafting and decorating especially when i'm overwhelmed with the amount of work that I have to do.One of the best programs I've done with my residents was a picture board theme where we all made our own picture boards from cork boards, poster boards, decorative paper, glitter and just about any other crafting supply possible. These are fun and inexpensive ways to decorate your room and give it a hint of color. I got a reasonably large size cork board from Micheals and cut it into picture frame sizes (about 7.5 x 7) and starting with a plain board we all decorated with pictures, glitter, tissue paper, etc. .
On that note, I also decided to create a 'study corner' in my room. Winter is approaching and so is my need to constantly stay in my room and avoid walking to the library. So, this study corner was the best idea I had! I rearranged my room so that I had a space that I could decorate but also be productive. I threw some pillows in, along with my own personal snack area close by too and my study corner was complete! It's still fairly new but so far I've been having a lot of productive evenings there and with finals coming up i'm sure i'm going to be even more in love with my little space. Here's a few pictures of how I've manged to decorate my room and craft my little heart away. As college students no need to go all Ikea crazy and spend thousands when these simple, DIY tips could help so much with decorating rooms!
