Hand made / crafted bedroom decorations / decor?
Hi Basically i need to make some bedroom decorations as i don’t have much money, I have a few photos and the negatives from the film, colorful paper clips, fabric, urban graffiti cards and a lot of white walls and places to put things.
I have no idea where to start and am looking for some good craft projects.
anything would be good
id like to make use of the photos, but don’t just want to stick them to the walls, want to create something interesting.

use the fabric and make a “curtain” sort of thing but pretend the curtaian is drwn back, tie it back with ribbons or clip it. In the middle, beneath the curtain top put your pics…. you can make frames out of constrauction paper. good luck!
With fabric, make flag garlands and string them up.

Make a collage with your pictures.
Take a piece of plywood or other large piece of wood , i.e. 18X24. Lay a piece of batting on the wood and a piece of the fabric, cut 4 inches larger than the wood. Stretch the fabric to the back and staple it down on all four sides. Get a roll of ribbon from Hobbly Lobby, Joann’s or Michael’s that coordinates with the fabric and make a diagonal grid on the “bulletin board” spacing the ribbons about 4 inches apart. Hammer tacks on the front of the board where the ribbon intersects.
You can tuck pictures or memorabilia behind the ribbons. You can also make these smaller, 10×10 or so, and make multiple ones using different fabrics to cover more wall space.
