Hey everyone and welcome back to a new semester of Dorm Room – DIY! I’m so excited for another semester; however, we are moving the blog to be biweekly due to my now busy schedule! Either way, this week I have a brand new wall to show you guys! Since this is a new semester, I decided to update my decor and I went with this adorable thing! (I don’t really truly know what to call it, to be honest!) This DIY is so easy. I thought it was a great way to add a little bit of life to my room and I am so happy with it!

Here’s what you need: 

  • Photos
  • String
  • Clothes pins
  • Tacks

Step 1: Put tacks in 

So for this step, all you have to do is put the tacks in the design you want. You can go as big as you want and use as many tacks as you need.

Step two: Add the string 

I ended up switching my string halfway through because it wasn’t long enough; however, all I did to start was tie a knot and start twisting and turning. 

Step three: continue putting the string and designing your shapes

Just keep adding and adding until your happy with all the different shapes!

Step four: Add photos

Now comes the fun part: add your photos! You can add them with tape, clothes pins, or even those paper clips that are black with the two silver handles! (I’m really good with the terminology!) 

You can go as much or as little as you would like with your pictures. You can cover up that ugly starting point with a photo as well! 

You’re done! 

Like I said, this DIY was super easy and super quick but it is so cute and so worth it! I hope that you guys enjoyed this blog post. I am SO excited for my next one, so stay tuned!
