Well, more along the lines of fall for September, but when October comes around there will be lots of fun ideas you can do. There will even be a few tutorials for costume ideas, and awesome food recipes. So, check back every week in September and October for new ideas. anyways, todays quick tip.

If your between the ages of 13 and 17, then this is just for you. If you know that you have parents who are strict about how your room looks. Then make minor tweaks to make it one of a kind.

Tip #1
If your bed is looking a little bland and you want to make it look a little better. Then this idea is for you.
Get a hula-hoop a few yards of fabric and some ribbon.
Cut 2 35" pieces of ribbon. (I almost forgot. If you don't like the color of the hula-hoop, get some black spray pain and spray it.) Lay the ribbon in a plus pattern so you have for sections. Now tie the ends to the hula-hoop. This will attach the hula-hoop the the celling. Now take you fabric and lay it on top of the hula-hoop. Mess around with the fabric to make it the way you want it. Hold it up just to get an idea of what it is going to look like. If you are satisfied with it. Take a push pin and stick it through the part were the ribbon crosses each other and stick it in the celling above your bed. Now you have your very own custom mad canopy bed.

Tip #2
If your walls are white and it just is not flowing with your tang. Measure the width and length of the wall. Cut some fabric accordingly and tack it on your wall. Now you have a splash of color. If you want. You can do this to all four walls.

Tip #3
If you have a lot of posters laying around and your parents don't want you putting holes all over the wall. Well, convince your mom or dad to let you put a few pins in the wall. You will find out later why you have to turn on your kiddish charm on your parents. Lay your posters out on the floor and arrange them the way you want. Take some tape and tap the together creating on big poster. Now you only have to put 4 pins in the wall instead of a bazillion pins.

Tip #4
Convince your parents to put shelfs up on your wall and get some antique treasures and put them on your shelfs. This adds for a classic look and makes your room seem not so bland.

So get to crafting and remember. Don't buy pre-made, buy handmade.
