1) You could get some pretty cloth & hang it over ur walls. Penguin Registered User 2) You could buy a bunch of cheap bulliten boards at kmart & hand them up. Joined: Sunday, 2nd of May 2010, 11:37:44 Then you could cover them with ur photos, etc. Posts: 1814 Viewed 6872 times 3) Take some black & white photos & have them printed out in a larger
size. (You usually take a disk or a memory card to one of those special
machines in CVS or Larmon Photo). Then hang them on ur wall -- with push
pins.
Personally, I like number 3. It will make you're room cute, original &
one-of-a-kind.

You can buy artist canvas and just paint a bold stripe or Jock Hamster something. You can buy inexpensive shelves from Micheals or AC Moore and Registered User paint them or look for clearance at Target. I have a garden gate I got on Joined: Thursday, 20th of May 2010, 10:19:50 clearance after the summer hanging on my dining room wall ($10).

Got some photos you wanna hang but no money for frames & you BLACK CAT don't want to damage the pics? Registered User Joined: Thursday, 10th of June 2010, 10:20:44 Step 1. Go buy some 1 inch wide black or whatever colored ribbon & stretch Posts: 1932 a piece horizontally & secure in place with tack or some small nails. Viewed 17802 times
Step 2. Secure a length or ribbon vertically at the top to the back side
of the horizontal ribbon with a safety pin (so the pin doesn't show).
Step 3. Use masking tape to tape the backs of the pics to the ribbon. It
recommend taping across the ribbon instead of making a tape ''loop'' to
try to hold the pics to the ribbon. Intersperse the pics along the ribbon
length.
Step 4. Add more vertical ribbons & pictures until you have a beautiful
hanging picture gallery. Space these as you pleas & change them as you
please. You can even use different length vertical ribbons or put ur pics
at odd lengths to give them a random & chic look.
Step 5. Complete the look by attaching large funky looking beads (or
whatever you want) with safety pins to the bottom of the vertical ribbons
to function as weights & to add depth to the overall look.
This whole thing shouldn't cost you more than like $5 plus a little time.

You can get nice, fairly large, mirrors for around $15 from the Dollar
Store or Walmart. Mirrors add A LOT of punch in any given room & help to
add light. Check yard sales, thrift stores, & others & you might find them
cheaper.
----------------------------------------------------------
Use bright tacks, ribbon, clear spray paint (to spray the paper to add
shine) & construction paper to make a funky decolage background for a wall
clock. I made mine into a 4 point star & used the tacks to hold the ribbon
so that my 4 point star became an 8 point one. Adds depth to the room &
makes use of a small wall clock that by itself would be boring.

Yard sale, yard sale, yard sale! Go early in the morning & you can find
some AWESOME stuff for REALLY cheap. I mean pennies on the dollar! This
also applies to thrift stores! Look around & see what you can find. You
don't have to decorate it all at once!

background, or ''frame'' or swirly thing around ur spiral & so on.

If you are creative it is easy to make a hand stamped or Yam painted material tapestry. You will need dowels(whatever length you like), Registered User hooks(to hang it), needle & thread( sew the material tops & bottom to put Joined: Wednesday, 19th of May 2010, 18:34:01 over dowels, material ur choice, washable is good make sure it is even & Posts: 1904 balanced all around. And also material paint & go for it. I did this for a Viewed 2255 times project in Art school & it was fun & something easy to carry if you move.
You can also make several material design pieces & switch them if you get
tired.you will have more.
Create something that is refreshing & you! Good luck.

One of the cutest things I have seen is to buy an old window at jenna bare a junk yard that has been taken out of a house. Make sure it has the small Registered User panes. you know the kind of windows that looks like a tic tac toe board. Joined: Monday, 24th of May 2010, 07:36:02 anyway just put that on ur wall & if it has shutters, put them on each Posts: 1021 side of the window & then put a flower box under the window & just but Viewed 11220 times interesting things in the box. not flowers or a board accross it could
make a shelf. You could put a poster behind the window to make it look
like it is a real window or you could put photos in the panes behind the
glass or you could just leave it plain like a regular window. It would
fill ur wall & cost almost nothing!

Shelves (which you can buy used, and paint)
You can look in thrift shops, yard sales, estate sales, etc. for pictures
with frames. I got a nice landscape one for my longest living room wall
for about $3
