College prep: Dorm DIY

Every college dorm has the average tapestry, Christmas lights and some type of flag on the walls as “decoration.” With these simple DIYs, your decorations will be entirely unique.

• Take a mason jar, add some paint and you have a vase, pencil cup or an organizer for all of your makeup brushes.

• Organize your messy cords with this easy shoe box DIY.

• An old frame, wire and clothespins turn into a wall collage with this DIY.

• Replace your tapestry with this awesome flower headboard.

These easy DIYs are fun and easy ways to spice up your dorm room this year.
