\"DIY<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s funny, you thought DIY meant do-it-yourself. \u00a0Psh… amateurs. For college students, this acronym is simple. DIY = Dorm is Yours! Let’s create some simple, cute, DIY dorm decor!<\/p>\n

A dorm room is\u00a0nothing less than a\u00a0new home, and it is all<\/em> <\/strong>yours! DIY projects <\/a>may be the easiest way to personalize without breaking the bank. Check out these three simple DIY dorm decor projects that I put together for my dorm room!<\/p>\n

3 DIY Dorm Decor Projects<\/h2>\n

1. Organization Station to Keep You Up to Date
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

What you’ll need: an old picture frame, pens\/markers\/crayons, sticky notes or paper<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Find a picture frame that matches your color scheme\u00a0(I found this turquoise one\u00a0at a thrift store)<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Take out the old picture and replace it with a slab of white cardboard. If the picture doesn’t come out, simply cover it with whatever material you would like!<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Decorate the cardboard\/newspaper\/butcher paper\/fabric<\/a>. You can use the entire board as a calendar grid, or split it into sections.<\/p>\n

*I put some little note papers\u00a0on the side\u00a0to jot down anything that’s on my (or one of my friends’)\u00a0mind.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Invest in some white board markers. Fun fact: they will wash off glass the same way they do white boards (just make sure not to leave it on for too long!)<\/p>\n

2. Custom Throw Pillows to Keep You Comfy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

What you’ll need: an old throw pillow <\/a>(or other stuffing), material to upholster, sewing materials<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Measure out two rectangles of fabric that would fit the size of your new pillow. If you are covering old pillows, make sure to leave extra space on the outside.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Pin the fabrics together and turn inside out. Sew three sides and a little chunk on both ends of the fourth side, leaving an opening big enough to put your pillow\/stuffing in.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Turn the fabric right side out and stuff up that baby!<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Sew up that little space (easiest by hand if your\u00a0 machine can’t take it!)<\/p>\n

3. Decorative Garland to Keep You Happy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

What you’ll need: command hooks, some type of ribbon\/rope, clothespins<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 1 (and only):<\/strong> Hang or tie the rope\/string\/ribbon to the command hooks to secure and clip the clothes pins on… Wala!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
