It’s that time of year again! Moving into a new place can definitely be exciting, but it takes a while to transform a blank canvas of a room into a cozy living place that you can consider home. There’s only so much that fairy lights and tapestries can do to make your dorm or apartment personal, which is exactly why DIYs come in handy. Now, I know most Pinterest DIYs can be extremely daunting, especially when classes are sucking your energy dry. Fear not, the following crafts are easy to make and won’t be too harsh on your college budget wallet either!
