Answers:
ok.. let's start w/ cleaning up the room. Get 2 boxes or something of that nature... go thru u'r stuff. One for "NOT WANTS" & "WANTS". The box u don't want.. donate to places like Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Cancer Society, Vets, Goodwill... these places will usually come & pick them up & they have stores where they sell them & use the $ for the cause.
2nd... now whatever is left, u need a place for them... sooo shelves... cubes... if they r stuffed animals u could make a chain from the ceiling ( paint it w/ metal paint-ask the paint store) then put ties/clips/ropes/things like that on it to hang u'r animals. U can use crates painted ( Michaels/JoAnn etc..poss Big Lots, thrift stores-- they always have great stuff--like where u'r gonna donate u'r NOT WANTS.) u can always paint them & have ur friends help.
I don't know the colors of u'r room or walls but use those colors for the shelves/stands/shelves.. if u find an bed stand w/ drawers that would help. U can paint them white or JST paint the front of the drawers & put funky things glued on the handles.
Now for the pix of u'r friends... that is great that u want to do that. So do u have access to a camera? Get u'r friends together & take currant pix. Do u have some close friends or many? Then get some 2oz color paint from the craft store/Walmart... ... sory i'm jumping ahead.. i'm excited. Back to the photos... get close up of jst the head of u'r friends & U as well. NOw... go to the COPY place ( if u'r pix r digital if not get them developed)& explain u want to ENLARGE certain photos on paper that u won't smear if u glue them. They will copy them & enlarge... NOW to the paint
get the btls of paint... go home get elmers glue water down but swimming.. glue u'r faces of u'r friends on the a wall or 2..(depending on the amt of friends) then take the paint w/ brushes..have u friends help then paint their hair & poss. if u want paint their clothing.
Now for xtra photos... get some material from either the thrift stores ..like table cloth..curtains..etc... OR from the fabric store in the clearance bin. U can buy some decorative rope as well...
Project:... u'll need cardboard or foamboard, batting(fabric store), glue gun, scissors, TACKY GLUE or elmers. TAKE the batting & glue it on the board of u'r choice. Then cut the material size of u'r board PLUS 2". Then lay material face down on table. Place batted board on top of NOT design side. Take one side of material.. about the 2" or so.. use u'r glue gun( have a small bowl of ice around for burns.. trick i learned) glue a little at a time.. OOOO i forgot ..have a kitchen butter knife so u don't burn u'r fingers. NOw pull the material over & glue the one side down. Turn & do the OPPOSITE side. Then do the other sides. Take u'r decor rope.yarn etc... glue on top of one side.. make it long to hang the board & to the other top side glue. Then it again. glue NEXT to the one u have glued BUT pull it towards the front & go diagnally to the other side... glue on the back. Do the other side. NOW start about 3-5" from that last one & do the same & REPEAT til u meat the end.
NOW u have places to stick u'r photos OR if u didn't get any rope/yarn.. then use tacks.
Welllll.. I hope that helped...OH... get some funky material u like & cover OLD pillows either sewing or ironing (as at fabric place for STICH WITCHERY) & make cushions for the floor so u'r friends can enjoy sitting in ur room.
BE CREATIVE. & have fun!
stat by trashing a few things, look at what kind of space your dealing with then go from that point on.
put picture frame.
well i dont know how your room looks like but maybe i can help you. as for little nick nacks, you can boy a board(like the notice board) and pin memorable pictures, nicnacks, ribbons, small gifts, cards that your friends and family gave you. you can also keep your nick nacks on your shelf. if you dont have shelves you can tell your dad to hang a ply wood across your room(on the top of your beds headboard)and you can keep your small stuff there. for a cosy corner, choose a corner beside a window. put a rug and some colorful coushions there and you have a girls corner. you can also keep your magazines beside the rug.and a floor lamp nearby.
