5 Dorm Decor DIYS with Opal House for Target Pillows, Organize, Candles and Storage

August 10, 2021 · by: Cathie Filian

Go back to school in style with these 5 Dorm Décor DIYs. We are whipping up everything from cool toss pillows and storage boxes to lap desks and flameless candles! You won’t believe some of our surprise materials! We are working with gloss, fabric and matte Mod Podge today!

The fabric that we used is actually a shower curtain from the new Jungalow collection for Opal House at Target.

Watch and Learn

In the video, I show you how to use the fabric from the shower curtain to create these fun No-Sew pillows. I’m attaching all the fabric and trim with Fabric Mod Podge. It’s so easy to make a custom dorm room look!

I like to use Mod Podge to seal stickers too! This is a great way to add a little extra to your handmade journals and planners.

 

For our flameless candles, we decoupaged napkins to the outside of the candle. These flameless candles are so great for dorm rooms! You can safely add a little ambiance and glow to your dorm room.

Watch and Learn

A lapdesk is a must have for a dorm room. You can use one to do studies or for just watching devices. The pillow underneath helps to steady the “desk” on soft surfaces. The wood topper helps prevent your devices from over heating. We add some fun handmade papers to this lap desk. The Palin lap desk was from the store 5 Below and yep…. it cost $5.

Everyone needs a stash box… so why not have a cute one. This quick and easy DIY has an undercoat of blue paint. In the video we show you all our tips and tricks.

Watch and Learn

In this video we are exploring 3 different Mod Podge formulas; Fabric, Gloss and Matte.

Thanks for popping by! Happy crafting and happy back-to-school for all the students heading to a dorm or first apartment. Please like, share & pin! xoxo cathie
