DIY ideas : hang them above

Hanging paper flowers at Martha Stewart. They are great to decorate a party table, but I think it would be an even greater addition to a teenager's room.

Not sure about the above idea? I love this room from Ohdeedoh - a whole origami cranery hangs above this tween's bed.

String lampshade at Pickles. This looks like an easy project.

This is not a DIY. These pretty paper garlands are on sale at the Etsy shop of bookity. And these are made of Shakespearean poetry, literally!

prints of the elephant

Believe it or not - these coasters, cards, magnetic clocks, photo frames and other cute stuff here are made from elephant poop! I saw the elephant poop paper products at Mother Earth - a store for organic products- at Bangalore. The paper was strong, hard and fibrous. The paper notebooks and albums were priced a little too high, yet I loved them.

Find these at Haathi chap - elephant poo paper. Unfortunately, I don't think they retail online.
