Cute and Inexpensive Fall Room Decorations

DIY Summer Seashell Decoration     This seashell decoration is super cute and perfect for decoration in the summer. It is super easy to use. All you need it a bowl or jar, paint, paint brushes, and seashells (which you can get from the dollar store or other craft stores). All you have to do is paint the seashells different colors. Let them dry, then you may need to do another coat. Then put them in your bowl or jar and place them in your room.  

Countdown To Summer     I can't believe school is almost out! I'm so ready to start singing "What Time Is It" from High School Musical. To get me even more excited I decided to make a countdown chain. It is so easy to make and you can just make a chain for decoration too.      To make this chain all you need is: Cute paper Siccors or a paper cutter Glue or tape     First, cut your paper into strips. For my paper I decided to use bright and summery colors, after all, it is a countdown to summer. Then take one strip and tape or glue it in a circle. Then take another strip and put it through the first circle. Then, just make another circle and continue. You can either do how many school days are left or how many days are left.      Then, don't forget to rip off a link every day, to keep track of how many days until summer!!    

Lilac Crowns     In my family, every year my sister and I make Lilac crowns. All you need is thread, a needle, scissors, and some Lilac flowers. Measure your head (or you can measure for a necklace) with thread. Double that amount, then add a little more. Next thread your needle. Take the needle through the middle of a flower that you have picked off the bunch. Push the flower to the end of the thread. Then, continue with more flowers to you fill the thread. Tie the thread and now you can wear your cute Lilac crown.

I did some research and decided to try with Crayola markers. So I got a bunch of different kinds. I got the  8 count metallic markers , the  50 count super tips markers , and the  5 count paint brush pens  which all come with the  crayoligraphy calligraphy kit . There are many other types of Crayola markers that you can get as well. Crayola markers are a good place to start because they are very inexpensive. You can also get them in big packs so you have tons of color options. Then later on if you want you can upgrade to a better type of marker once you are ready.  The Difference The biggest difference between Crayola markers and calligraphy markers are the tips. As a result, you may need to apply more pressure to the tip of the marker than you are u...
