Home decorating crafts?

something inexpensive that will make an impact is to cut out panels from cardboard boxes and cover with material off cuts can be purchased in many patterns and colours. Use tape to secure them at the back and presto you have a decoration which is not heavy so can be hung up with 2 sided glue tape. You can make any size or shape you like. You could even cut up old clothes and join pieces for your picture so good luck and have fun !

when we moved into our home it had a shabby bar. I got some coca-cola material and some black and white tile and made a coca-cola bar. Went to Target that was selling old coke pictures made out of metal. In your family room you can get some of those chairs where you sink into them and get some retro looking design covers for $10 at Target. Wallmart has many looking retro lamps and if you go to a place like "pic a part" or a place where they sell old car parts, you can get a car seat and use it for a couch out of a 57 chevy. It depends on what year you are going for and what movie or music theme. You could put old 50, 60 albums in a frame and put up as pictures. Pictures of Elvis Presley or flower power wall paper or beddings. Here is a good book to find what you are looking for: "Modern Retro: Living with Mid Century Modern Style"
