How to WIN at Door Decorating Contests

This year in the Lima Hall Door Decorating Contest, the fourth floor SLAYED. My roommate and I won for our floor, and our next door neighbors took the prize for the whole building! Here’s a picture of my door: It was actually super easy to make, too– just took a little bit of time.
