Now that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, it is time to take down those Halloween decorations in preparation to get into the holiday spirit. Most will hang up some sparkly garland or hang up some sort of lights, but others have the desire to go above and beyond; however, they lack the ideal budget (we are all college students after all). After endlessly scrolling through Pinterest, here are some cute DIY decorations that are easy and affordable to spice up your dorm room or apartment while the seasonal spirit begins.

1. Painted Mason Jars

Spruce up your room with a little more fall spirit!

2. Hand Crafted Snowflakes

All it takes is a pair of scissors and some folded coffee filters or paper with some string and tape! Add some extra elegance with some fake snow out of cotton balls or white chainlink "icicles."

3. Peppermint Window Decor

Simply tie a ribbon or bow around a candy can, hang it up, and voila! Your room is already looking holly and jolly.

4. Decorative Utilities

All you need is some wrapping paper, construction paper, scissors, and some tape. Super easy to do and super low maintenance as well!

5. Wall Decorations

Popsicle sticks, paint, glue, and some sequins will leave your a wall much more colorful and decorative.

6. Hangable Peppermints

Grab some paper plates, ribbon, red paint, and some plastic wrap and your room will be looking minty fresh for days.

7. Door Decorations!!!

There are so many adorable designs that I found so as you will see, there is a bunch of variety depending on how creative you want to get.
