Coming into college from Florida to Virginia, I couldn't bring much stuff so I had to get creative. Bringing photos is always a good idea but how to do it was a concern.
1. Hanging up photos!
Try hanging up photos with clothes pins and sting or put colorful paper behind the pictures to give your room a pop.
2. Make a picture collage calendar
Buy a picture collage from the dollar store, put some fun paper in the back, and write your days on the glass with dry erase marker.
3. Use shoe holders as snack holders.
Either use your shoe holder from move in day or get one from the dollar store. Hang it over your door and right before you leave you will never forget a snack.
4. Branch hook
Next time you are outside pick up a branch, paint it whatever color you wish, and hang it up.
5. Crayon rainbow art.
Buy a white canvas from the store and some crayons. Glue crayons in color of the rainbow or however you like, use a hair dryer to melt the crayons to create rainbow art, and hang it up!
I hope these ideas make your college dorm room pop and had a homey feel to it!
