2. Fabric, ribbon, or crepe paper chandelier

These are great eye catching additions to any room. All you need is a hoop, like a sewing hoop, or a hula hoop or if you're making a big one, you can tape together pool noodles. Spray paint, pain, or duct tape the hoop in a solid color if it isn't one you like already. Then proceed to tie strips of fabric of your choice and color to length. You may want to place the hoop where you intent to hang it first with a test strip to see how long it will be before you start cutting.

3. Make your own pillow cases

This is a great way to use old fabrics, t-shirts, and thrifted fabrics like sheets to add color to a window seat, bed, or couch. There is the fold method as seen below or you can cut fabric to size and simply use fabric glue if you have no intentions of ever taking the cover off.

4. Bird on a wire

You can use thin sticks, dowels, or black or brown string to create the wires criss crossing your wall, then find any number of online templates for birds, and cut out various birds from all types of left over scrap paper, and then artfully arrange on your wall.

5. No Sew Curtains

Step one: buy fabric, use old tablecloths, or use bedsheets for fabric. Step two, attach drapery rings. Boom! Insta-colorful curtains! If you need to trim them, and can't sew, cut them and then use fabric glue or tape to bond the edges back on themselves so there is no fraying.

6. Colorful frames

This is a great way to showcase your photography, art, or family photos. All you need is any frame, but cheap dollar store frames will do. Tape them off with painters tape and newspaper to cover the glass, and then use spray paint for plastics or wood, depending on the material, and have at it in whatever color you want. Make sure you let these dry first before use.

7. Wallpaper or Paint a shelf interior

Pretty straight forward, add more color by adding in some wall paper or paint or both to really make a book shelf pop.

8. Ombre Mason Jars

All you need is a couple of mason jars, spray paint for glass, then spray the jars in different shades of your favorite line of color. To add more color after that, place in flowers with matching colors, either real or fake for an awesome centerpiece for your kitchen or side table.
