I had an idea, I want to decorate my living room in animal prints.
Does anyone know where I can shop for some cheap accesories
(pillows, rugs, and other small things)?
I live in PA, so I guess some of the widespread stores, catelogs, etc. is what I need ideas from.
Or if anyone has any do-it-yourself ideas I could use?
(I will have to tell you, I'm not the best with a sewing machine!!) Thank you!

How are you with a pair of scissors and an iron? Fabric stores have animal prints galore. Use stitch witchery, its a fusable materal used for hemming. You can find ideas at the same fabric stores. Pillows are easy, so are curtains if you use fabric just draped over rods like a swag. Ask the people who work there, many if not all have some experence in sewing or crafts. Good luck.

How fun and what a coincidence - I want a jungle theme in my livingroom. Anyway, I was thinking of painting (sponging) on some color on one of my walls-hopefully like the natural camoflage of the outdoors. Paint is cheap and can be redone if mistakes are made. Perhaps some animal print throws or pillows will help - or even some animal print fabric could be draped across a curtain/drapery rod. I'm from Pennsylvania too!!!! Have fun.
