Everybody knows you can hang your photos on string lights or in rows on your wall. But if you want your dorm to really look special, check out these unique ways to display your photos.

Get some wood planks from any craft store or Home Depot and paint them any color you want. Then hot glue some clips to the planks to attach your photos with. This is such an easy way to make a display that’s easy to remove and attach with Command Strips.

Find a branch or buy a branch from a craft store to use as the top of this photo wall hanger. Decorate the branch how ever you want. Some ideas are painting designs onto it or adding gems. Then take string and tie knots around the branch from where you want to hang your photos. Make them as long or short as you want. It also helps to add a little bit of hot glue at the top so they stay in place and don’t slide around. Then attach your photos using clothes pins (tiny ones can be found at Michael’s or Target).

Similar to the hangers above, this is a wall hanger that is more modular. Again, the wood can be found at craft stores or Home Depot (or chop down a tree, up to you). Hot glue the string to the back of the wood, but make sure that you have enough space to attach a command strip. Then use tape on the back of your photos or clips to attack the photos to the string.

This might be a little harder to pull off in a dorm because of restrictions with tape. Use washi tape which is easier to remove and usually doesn’t leave any stains. Double check your community standards to make sure you can use it without getting a fine at the end of the year for damages. The collage can be made in any shape you want, just try to keep the space between the photos equal on each side.

A geometric wall display would definitely be the perfect decoration to make your room truly unique. The one in the picture uses nails, which are typically a big no-no in dorms. A way to work around that is to use clear Command Strip Hooks or making the structure with wire before hand and then hanging it.
2.
If you can’t stay away from the string lights then at least wrap them around a branch to guide the way you put the photos onto your wall. Another option is to clip some of the photos to the string lights as well as taping them to the wall behind the branch.

And if you really can’t decorate your room without string lights then you might as well go all out.
