Instead of breaking the bank stocking up on new throws, blankets and pillows, save money and showcase your creative side by making your own décor items. Whether you buy colorful fabric to wrap foam inserts for throw pillows, or purchase some fleece to make your own tied throw blanket, you can add a pop of color to your furniture. If you’re computer savvy, consider printing digital images and placing them in matte frames for a simple way to personalize your space.
