Ideas to save money• share a can of paint with a friend! Decide

on two colours together, and paint stripes

• check out dumpsters or the curb for free re-usable material

• go to the dollar store or hardware store and look for unusual, unexpected materials

• go to a thrift store and look for old trophies, big pieces of fabric, yarn, old stuffed animals, cassette tapes, fake flowers, or old Christmas decorations
