RE: Help with Jungle Decor
www.familyfun.com (disney) has a magazine called Family fun. I was reading it today and it has how to make paper bag vines and a jungle/exploration theme party. GREAT IDEAS. I searched the website for JUNGLE theme and it shows the pictures and everything! http://familyfun.go.com/parties/bir ... amf0105jungle-expedition-party4.html
Hope this helps. Heiki in Brookfield

Try the Family Dollar store or the like.....they always seem to have inexpensive pillows, lamps, and things like that with Animal or African print....I would try finding sheets to cover existing pillows with or making curtains from some type of African print whether it be sheets or fabric should make a great change in the room....

How about pressing some plants to frame? If you have a friend who has some tropical-looking plants (like areca palms, philodendrons, bamboo, etc.), ask them if you can take 3 fronds or leaves. Press them flat between sheets of newsprint (use white paper on the layer that contacts the leaves, to prevent ink from rubbing onto the leaves) lay it on a large flat surface like the floor, and weigh it down with some bricks. Then after they're dry, arrange them in a frame. You could even glue them to a piece of posterboard, and "frame" it by gluing sticks and twigs around the edges.
Have fun, and good luck!

RE: Help with Jungle Decor
My sister went to a scrapbook store and bought a couple of pieces of scrapbook paper that were the jungle theme. She then went and had them color copied and tore them into strips, used wallpaper glue and made a border around her bedroom. It looks very good. And the bottoms don't have to be straight. Her's are jagged and looks like it was put up professionally. Also, she took some of her furnitire, primed it and painted over it to look like tiger and zebra. Hope these ideas help.

Look at your local fabric store. They probably have some animal print fabric that you could use to make cheap throw pillows, curtains and slipcovers. You may even be able to find some fabric with panels that you could frame and put on the wall as art. Also, check thrift stores for inexpensive artificial plants.
