That is probably one of the simplest decorations but it is attractive, as well. You just need a sheet of paper or cardboard. Fold it and cut off the shape of a butterfly. Then you can stick that shape on the wall and you get a nice and interesting décor for your room.
This string art can be any pattern! What you going to need:

WHAT YOU NEED:
I wanted a more modern feel to my pictures which is why I chose this size and shape but your options are pretty much endless with how you can shape the foam board. If you don’t want to cut the board until you’re home, then make sure you have a BIG car to transport the foam board inside of. You can’t just throw these boards in the back of the truck or you will look in your rear view mirror and find your board is flying out. What I did:
I let my boards air out a bit. The adhesive can be a bit overwhelming in small spaces. Once dry, I used Scotch wall tabs, one top middle and one bottom middle of each canvas, to attach them to my wall. Voila
This is a great way to showcase your photos and save money! Stuff you going to need:
Use books you don't mind never reading again! Measure the half way point, make a mark, set down your bracket, draw an outline, measure again, cut out a hole deep enough that the bracket will set flush. You are doing this to the back or bottom of the book, the part that will be visible in the finished product Use your knife to make a notch for the "L" bracket so the book can sit flush against the wall Place your small wood screws to secure the "L" bracket in place, and one on either side toward the edges of the book to secure the pages of book together. Hanging the bracket over the edge of a desk, chair, or counter is helpful. The pages will try to rise up the screw as you insert it, so make sure you're putting some pressure on them to keep them in line. If this part is not done correctly the end result will show the pages as wavy and will tip off the viewer that something is amiss. The picture shows me using a cordless drill, but I found that doing it by hand was much more effective. Now use a large wood screw to attach the whole mess to the wall. Stack some books on it to cover your handiwork. Make sure you put enough books to cover the bracket.
