Answer
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!

neighborho
I'm in the process of redecorating my childrens rooms.
my daughter wants tinkerbell in sort of a lavender look.
my son wants horses with a southwestern / western look.
Im needing bedding. walls ect. I was hoping someone knew of a Cheap place that I could get some of this stuff at? and any ideas you would like to share for creativity on a very short budget! Id love to hear from you. thanks
Answer
Buy the tink bedding at walmart.com....I believe it is severely discounted right now. Or to really save buy lavender or purple bedding and accent with lime green throw pillows. Buy extra sheets and make the curtains to coordinate.
Then, grab a tink coloring book, a projector (sold at decorating store about $20 or borrow from library), and some acrylic paints and make a mural. Or, just paint a flying line (a dotted line in coordinating colors-if walls lavender paint deep purple.) across three of the walls and paint a basketball sized tinkerbell on one wall.
Total girls room cost $80-$100 including bedding, projector and paints.
Western, I would check out walmart.com for either a southwestern or kiddie western theme bedding. Or just a plain denim comforter. Pick up a cheap kids cowboy hat and toss on bed. Paint walls to look like old western ghost town. (just buildings with signs above doors) Maybe get a cheap lamp with base and attach cowboy boots, some plastic horses.
Total boys cost $100 includes bedding paint and simple accessories. Remember to utilize the salvation army stores or other second hand places for decorative pieces. On certain days of the week they have discounts and their prices are already real low!
:) good luck.
