Hi friends!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got something fun planned for today. Like any college student, money is tight for me and Pinterest always tempts me to try new things.<\/p>\n

I have two fun DIY crafts for your dorm room, apartment or home. I\u2019m also collaborating on these crafts with my good friend, Olivia. We met through our job and classes and I\u2019m so glad I got close to her this year. Give her blog<\/a>\u00a0Liv Simple<\/a> a read for all things from fashion to college living. After you are done reading my blog, head over to hers to see how she put her own creative spin on these DIY crafts.<\/p>\n

Now, onto the DIY part. The worst thing that can happen to any college student (or adult) is to lose their keys. Now, we can always say we are going to put our keys on our desk or in our purse, or even buy a plastic command hook to stick them on. But, let\u2019s be honest, dorm rooms are kinda sterile if you don\u2019t have decorations. So why not kill two birds with one stone and make a place to hold you keys and have it decorative. I made this cute key hook for $11!!! And here\u2019s how you can too.<\/p>\n

First, I got all these supplies from Michael\u2019s Craft Store<\/a>, but I\u2019m sure you can find them or similar ones at your local craft store. I got paint, a hook, and wooden decorative pieces to make my key hook more fashionable. I spent a while on Pinterest finding what I wanted to do, but once I did I was happy with it.<\/p>\n

Here’s your materials: a hook with a plaque (already assembled), paint, a wooden letter, and some other decorations,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Plan out how you want your key hook to look, play around with it before you paint it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Now, comes the fun part. Paint it. Choose colors that will go nice in your room. My room is turquoise with black and white so the colors were easy to choose. Having a hard time deciding colors? You can never go wrong with neutrals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
After I let them dry over night, I assembled them the next day using a hot glue gun, wood glue would also work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now onto DIY craft number 2. I am a huge fan of candles, I love how they can change to mood of a room but unfortunately, they are not allowed in my dorm building. This is a great alternative to making it feel you have a candle burning with worrying about the fire. Also, not a fan of the smells but love the look of a candle, this is another great idea. Olivia found these mason jars at Pat Catans<\/a> and they were on sale for $1!!! Buy some tealights from any craft or home goods store and pop them in to the mason jar. Another inexpensive way to decorate a room. When you turn the tealight on, it will make you feel like you are burning a candle when you aren\u2019t at all. These could go in your bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, even living room, where ever\u00a0 you like to put your candles. This is another inexpensive way to make your dorm, apartment, or house a bit more cozy.<\/p>\n

You can style it on your desk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These are two inexpensive and DIY ways to make your dwelling more cozy and functional. Overall, a Pinterest success. Have you had any Pinterest successes or fails!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
