All you need are beads, wire and a needle. Put the needle on the wire and thread the beads. Once finished, simply create a shape and hang it anywhere on the wall or around lampshades. The wire can be long or short, it's up to you. As for the beads, try to choose something which cooperates with your color scheme.

If you don't have any old beads, you can easily pick some up at your local craft store for only a couple bucks.

Seashells

Using shells is a great way to add a little bit of vacation to the bedroom. You can easily hang seashells which are only a few inches big on the wall. Try using several of them to create a geometric pattern.

You can easily do this yourself by gathering a few dried twigs and a holding agent like glue, wire clippers or ribbons. Create designs like hearts, birds or stars and hang them on the wall for a great fresh look.

Paper Cutouts

Paper on the wall? Yes! It's something you will rarely see but guests will surely be impressed by the uniqueness and creativity.
