Pizza Box into Home Decor

Are you a broke college student, or just broke? Because, if you are... I have one CHEAP decoration you can make for your dorm room. All you need is to eat some pizza. I made this out of a pizza box and other random items that we had laying around. It literally cost me nothing, besides the pizza. Okay, enough talking, this is what I did.
  1. Get a pizza box. Cut it in half, then cut the sides off. Be careful when cutting the sides off because we will use them later. So you should have two squares and a bunch of rectangles from the sides.
  2. Hot glue the two squares together so that way you have a nice thick base.
  3. Paint! Paint the cardboard whatever you want. I did a pink background, then when the pink dried I splattered different colored paint on it. I just went all splatter happy. This will be the color of your letters.
  4. After the paint dried, I used the blue painters tape to outline my letters. I did block letters since it was easier. Just lay the tape on the board however you want, you can do letters or design. Make sure you leave at least an inch for the fake frame that will be added on later.
  5. After that, I painted over the tape and the whole board black.
  6. Pick four of the rectangles to create the frame. I painted each piece black, but you can do whatever you want.
  7. After all the paint dries, remove the tape on the board and BAM you have your cool letters and then hot glue the rectangles on the board to create the fake frame.
  8. I added random left over buttons just to add a little dazzle to the frame. I also attempted to do a glittered heart, but kind of messed up. haha.
  9. Next step was to get a piece of left over ribbon and hot glue it to the back so you can easily hang it up!
Here is the finish product. Just have fun, be creative, and just be you! :) xoxo

Some creative ideas for a college room

This is kind of embarrassing, but I am going to show you pictures of my actually room at college. Yes, I know I am messy.. but I am trying to work on it! ;) Sorry again for the mess... but if you think that your room is going to be SPOTLESS everyday at college.... I have some news for you! Life happens especially when you are a student athlete . yes.. I am using that as my excuse for the mess.. Here are some photos of my decoration ideas.

This is a cheap picture frame from dollar tree,
I put glittered construction paper as the back ground
and use the glass part as a white board! I change the
message every week. This week it is "Be yourself".
One of my favorite quotes.
Making your own posters is a great way
to make your room unique!


Hanging a ribbon and paper clipping photos on it! In my case
I put funny quotes on my ribbon! Oh.. and the poster board
is really cool!! so sparkly!!! Yes, I have a problem
No matter how bad your handwriting is, you
can still make it!

Magazine cover and a college, I put it in a
paper protector so I can reuse the collage and cover
next year!


this has literally saved my academic life!
I am famous for saying, "yes, no work today!"
then I look at my calendar and I get disappointed.
This is a dry erase board calendar and it is great!


This tiedie is from a $1 table cloth at walmart.. I cut it out and
made it a strip on my wall! Also, if you do this
make sure you buy double sided tape!!


I am famous for doing the after Christmas sales, especially for ornaments! I saw this garland on sale and I bought it and use it for decoration! It is a nice touch to any window, especially when the light hits it and makes your room sparkle!
