(Or, your college kid's soon-to-be decorated old bedroom.) Each frame goes together in a - literal - snap. Group them into a 6 x 4 photo montage or 7 x 5 mural for added impact.

Dorm Crafts: Cool Cork Boards You've seen them at the craft and dime store: flimsy cork squares by the four-pack. You're supposed to stick these things on your wall, where they're guaranteed to look, well, tacky, especially if you've outfitted the rest of that dorm desk with a cool DIY blotter of one type or another. There are only two things that are good about these cork boards - the ridiculously low price and the fact that they're so easy to transform. With just a little paint, this easy dorm craft project transforms even the most mundane, $1 cork square into a very cool dorm bulletin board. Here's what you'll need to make a snazzy striped, whimsical dotted or checkerboard bulletin board:

Surreal Photo Manipulations By Photographer Dariusz Klimczak We throw the word “surreal” around a lot when talking about photographers, but these outlandish works by Polish photographer Dariusz Klimczak take the cake by following in surrealist master Salvador Dali’s footsteps. Klimczak uses his wild imagination to populate desolate landscapes with bizarre and surreal characters and objects. The atmosphere of the vast deserts and plains in his photographers seem to be inspired by Dali’s work, as do the stilt-walkers and other characters therein. The images form a mythological world that seems to bend or break the laws of physics, but the fact that most of the images remain photo-realistic makes them all the more unsettling.
