Incorporate a little bit of all your friends in your college door decorations by having each one make and decorate a giant name tag. Use a sheet of construction paper for each of the tags. Have each of your roommates write her name across the paper and then embellish the name tag with small hand drawn pictures, glue-on flowers, or little written notes. Arrange each of the tags on the door, side by side, and tape them in place. You can laminate each of the name tags before hanging them on the door to make sure the tags are not destroyed over time.
Turn your college door into a photo collage of all your favorite people and things. Take your camera around with you for a week or so and capture some great images. Transfer the images to the computer and have them printed in sizes ranging from 4 by 6 inches to 8 by 10 inches. Lay some giant sheets of poster board on a clean, flat surface and arrange the pictures in random order all over the boards. Use enough boards and pictures to cover as much of the door as you like. Cover the collage with a laminate protective coating and hang the decoration on your door.
Let the child within loose and transform the door into a collection of pictures from your favorite cartoons and comics. Browse through your old collection or print off some new pictures from your favorite comic sites and laminate each of the pages to keep them in mint condition. The laminated comic pages can be attached to construction paper or poster board to make individual picture frames and then arranged on the door in a neat and tidy order. Alternatively, skip the paper picture frames and hang the pictures in random order all over the door.
Show off your favorite film with a door full of decorations of movie posters, magazine pictures and other photos from the movies. For an inexpensive decoration, hang a single movie poster in the center of the door and then write quotes from the movie on random-shaped cut outs of poster board. Arrange the quotes around the central poster to complete your movie-themed door.
If you are close to your fellow residents on the floor, turn the door decorating into a group event. Decide on a theme together, such as fairies, royalty, villains, a historical era or a favorite television series. Have each resident venture to find or make the most creative decorations he can think of and then have each resident hang his findings on his door. Take some pictures of the entire floor for a memorable keepsake of your college days.
