Crayon Decor for a Childs Room

When you think about giving a make-over to a bedroom you often think of buying paint or wallpaper, new rugs, curtains and that sort of thing. But, if youre feeling a little light in the wallet you might be putting off that make-over until your ship rolls in. Even though its nice to buy curtains and things for the make-over you dont necessarily have to get the more expensive room accessories to give the room a new look. Just change a few things and the room will look totally different for only a little money. For the price of a box of crayons you can give a childs room a make-over, so not only is it cheap, but youll absolutely love the new look! Glue crayons around a plastic drinking cup and make a vase, pencil holder, eyeglass holder or other accessories. Although glue doesnt often work well for the crayons themselves it will adhere to their wrappers. Glue the crayons around a cardboard box to make something similar. These boxes and cups are easy to make and can be set on a night stand, dresser or other areas.

Take existing picture frames in the childs room and give them a crayon make-over. Glue a crayon to the bottom, top, and sides of the frame to create the new theme. If the crayons are too long across the top and bottom of the frame just cut equal amounts off the ends. Do the same to light switches. Glue a whole crayon to the two long sides of a plain switch then cut two crayons down to a smaller size and glue them to the top and bottom of the switch cover.

Cut a ribbon thats long enough to make a curtain tie-back. Glue assorted crayons, point sides down, across the ribbon. Leave a small space between the crayons and do only the front of the tie-back. These give a crayon theme to the bedrooms curtains in a few minutes. Glue crayons together, side-by-side, to make coasters and more. Make a square of the crayons for a coaster or make the arrangement much longer to make a runner for a dresser or night stand. Or, make a background for a collection of friends pictures by hanging a runner of the crayons on the wall. Glue a picture to the crayons, leave a space, then glue on another. Continue that pattern until youve added all the pictures you want. Glue crayons to lampshades, trash cans, cornices, clocks, mirrors, baskets and more. It doesnt take a lot of effort to give a bedroom a whole new look when you use crayons as the d?cor. Youll love how just a few crayons can give the room such a different appearance, and best of all, it cost very little!
