decals

This is one of my favorite pictures that I have ever found on pInterest.com. If your a poor college student or on a low budget for decorating, here is a GREAT way to really bring life to any room. Get a large canvas that reaches the bottom of your floor to almost the ceiling. Place an assortment of stickers or decals on the canvas and spray paint the whole canvas any color you want. After it dries, peal of the decals and look at the wonderful design you've created! We aren't done yet, after taking off the decals, hang white lights on your wall, and then cover them by hanging your canvas in front of them so not lights show. once you turn on the lights you should see a beautiful glow through the canvas and the decals you've selected! This is such a cheap and easy way to make your decorations look expensive and timely!

Another one of my favorite decal decorations is to fancy up any of your boring cork boards. But instead of a decal, I choose to do a stencil. To do this, I picked out my favorite stencil design for under $3 bucks at Hobby Lobby or Wall-Mart. I personally choose a damask design. After placing it on my cork board, I used regular black paint to fill in the outline. It dries in almost ten minutes and looks great! I personally also choose to color the wooden border of the cork board black too, which made my pictures and my wall really stand out!
