But believe me, the results are picture-perfect. What could be better than customizing your very own monogram letters, learning how to make a no-sew pillow, or turning last year’s Christmas lights into trendy string lights? Read on for some of my favorite DIY Tumblr bedroom ideas.

These no-sew throw pillows are perfect for dormers.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Fiberloft or A pillow insert

- Fabric glue
- Ribbon
- Scissors
Step 1: Cut the fabric
Cut it into any shape or size you want. Just make sure both pieces are exactly the same!

Step 3: Flip the cloth inside out
Now you’ve got a simple pillow case.
Step 4: Decorate the pillow case
You can cut shapes of fabric, or use beads or any decor you want.
Step 5: Stuff the pillow
Take your pillow insert or stuffing, and stuff the pillow until it’s full.

Glue the open side, and fold the edges together for a clean line. Then you’re done!
2. Monogram Letters
Next up is one of the most popular Tumblr bedroom ideas. And also one of the easiest.
For this, you’ll need:
- Wooden letters of your initials
- A hot glue gun
- Spray paint
Step 1: Spray paint the letters
You can use any spray paint color you want, and decorate it however you’d like to. Pastel or glitter spray paint is a great match for the rest of your Tumblr bedroom ideas.
Step 2: Glue the letters together
Make sure your last name’s initial is the biggest letter in the middle. Now you can mount it on your wall!
3. Ping Pong Ball String Lights
Other super popular and easy Tumblr bedroom ideas include these string lights. Make them in just 2 easy steps.

Step 1: Make holes in the ping pong balls
Using a pen, make holes in each of the ping pong balls.

Put each Christmas light into the holes you made. Make sure not to cut yourself! Once you’ve finished, you’re ready to hang them up in your room.
4. Frame Wall
Frame walls are always a good idea, and they’re fully customizable.
For this, you’ll need:
- Photo Frames
- Pictures or Art
- Mini canvases
- Wooden Letters or other decors
- Spray paint
- Chalkboard paint
- Command Strips
Step 1: Spray paint the frames
Empty them out before taking out the backing and the glass. Then, spray paint using your favorite colors!
Step 2: Create a chalkboard
Use one of the glass inserts for this. Just paint it with chalkboard paint, and let dry before you place it black in the frame.
Step 3: Lay out the frames
It’s best to assemble the frames on the floor first, before proceeding to mounting them on the wall.
Step 4: Mount the frames
Once you’ve figured out where to place them, use command strips to mount the frames on your wall.

This mosaic art hack is an affordable way to add an artsy feel to your room.
You’ll need:
- A blank canvas

Spread the clay all over the canvas.
Step 3: Place the CDs
While the clay is still wet, press the CD pieces on.
