I've had a lot of fun doing her room, and although it's not completely finished, (I still need to accessorize) here's what we've got so far:
^This is simply scrapbook paper folded to look 3D... Cost:$1.50
first found the idea here then simplified

These hanging pom poms found at Martha Stewart, I made from tissue paper and hung with ribbon. Cost: $4
This pillow I made from a store-bought pillowcase I trimmed to size and sewed the little owl on. Cost: $ 3.50 (for 2 pillowcases, although I only used 1)

I made the tree from an old brown sheet that I "upcycled" and used spray starch to paste it to the wall, and felt I already had (the felt pieces are taped...we rent :P) Cost $3 (for the spray starch, and a couple extra sheets of felt)
I must admit that I'm pretty proud of myself, my vision was really intimidating, and I didn't know if I could actually pull it off. I didn't use any patterns, I just started cutting and pasting. The BEST part for me is that it is transferable, since we're in the military, we can expect to move soon! The only thing I wish was different: The tree trunk is too slim, really wish I would have cut it bigger... oh well... Hope you like it!
