Hollywood Dorm DIY

For our dorm room this upcoming semester, my roommate and I decided to add a little touch of Hollywood to our decor with photos of Marilyn and Audrey Hepburn and pictures of all things Glamour. With neutral colored bedding that we already had, we're simply adding to the wall space with posters, photos, and things that go with our theme really nicely. I've cut out "Hollywood" in big letters from poster board and thought of leaving it white just like the real Hollywood sign. But then I thought, what if I wrap magazine clippings around the letters to add more oomph? So, I'm going to try it! Wooden letters are so expensive these days so I figured we'd go the more cost effective route and just buy poster board. (Cutting was very time consuming however, might I add.)

   I'll have many photos of our completed room once we move in a couple weeks from now, but until then, I have some time to make more decorations!

Dorm Crafting

With Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe as our theme for our dorm this year, my roommate and I tried to get creative with our decorations. We decided to take an old Audrey calendar and cut off the picture and tie twine in a bow in the hole so the hole would be hidden. It's a great idea for any calendar photos you want to save. Simply apply with sticky tack!

 

Also, our Hollywood poster cut outs from a previous blog post turned out really nice. Instead of wrapping magazine clippings around the letters like I had originally planned, to save time we stuck with the white. It still looks nice, who knows, maybe on a rainy weekend we will cut up some magazines!
