hey you know what, I just got a neat idea to do with window blinds, Take matching stickers and put them on every other blind blade and then seal them so they don't tear up. Or do alternating patterns like stripes. OR you might even be able to do it with fabric if the blinds would tolerate a glue guns touch, or if you had zippers you could make zip on and offable strips.

Also thought about a deopauged computer moniter, that'd be neat. You'd have to leave the ventilation vents un c overed but you could still do the front and most the sides.

Could also wood burn designs into the wood if your blinds are wood

Something else fun w*ould be to bead the entire face of a computer moniter, they make microbrads that are in a glue themself you just dish it up an rub it on like spackle

a decopauged computer, i like the idea. If you decopauged it with porn magazines, would you still need to download it?

I cant think of any around the house things to decorate, but i have a couple of craft ideas. One day at craftime I was debating with myself whether to bead or knit. So I mixed the two and came up with this neat little necklace. Take a few long strands of fun fur yarn, and add beads, securing at both ends with little dabs of hot glue. I have a photo in my profile, its the fourth photo, as I dont know how to include images in my post.

Also, next time youre at an arts and crafts store, stop by the fake flower department. Find a bush of onion grass. You may notice that these make excellent whips! You can spray paint the leaves any colour you like and dress up the handle with black duct tape and metal studs or rhinestones.

Inspired by my mother painting her tv blue to match her bedroom, I spray painted my daughter's monitor purple...but I like the bling idea.

I had vertical blinds in her room. I layed them flat, glued a poster to them and then sliced it between each blind. When they are open, you can hardly see the design...when closed, you have another piece of art!
Preglued wallpaper is another thought too. Cut out desired object, wet it and stick to the blinds.

In the same room, I found two old two pane windows (about 15" x15" per pane). I blew pictures of her friends up on the computer (life size), printed them out and cut just the face out of the picture. I then glued the face to the window, hung them and now it looks as if her friends are peeking in the window at her....she loves them and her friends are impressed with their life size images hanging in her room!

Instead of puting a chair rail up, I bought prepainted lattice and nailed it to the lower section of her wall. Added some ivy and silk flowers and she now has her own garden growing. I thought white fence posts would have been great also but didn't have the time to do that then.

To top off her room, I made curtains for her bed. As her bed was against a wall on one side and the head was also against a wall, I simply bought two curtain rods and attached them to the ceiling along the side and foot of her bed. I bought 50 yards of tulling on sale and made curtains that hang down to the floor. Sewed on some glow in the dark flowers and it simply completed the room.

Too bad I gave the house up to the ex in the divorce...
