Decorating DIYs #12

Hello! My name is KingJamaa, and today I’m back with another Decorating DIYs post. Let’s get started, shall we?

I decided to create a home design this week. By using shoji screens, a phantom tree, seesaws, and a chimney along with an antique rug and wood step ladders, I was able to construct my base. Then, I used several other items to decorate the outside of the house to complete the decoration.

Anyways, that’s it for now. Have an awesome day, and be sure to play wild!

Decorating DIYs #11

Hello! I’m King, and today I’ll be bringing you the eleventh edition of Decorating DIYs. How about we get started? 

I created a pet skate park by using the brand new skateboarding ramp items in Jam Mart. By incorporating pets and plants, I added some extra life to the decoration. Additionally, I think that the addition of the sewer cap and skateboard add for a bit of decor to the den.

Anyways, that’s it for now. Farewell, and play wild! 

3 Healthy Trading Strategies

3 strategies to keep in mind while trading in Animal Jam!

Trading is an exceptional way to spend time in Animal Jam, you can collect new wacky/popular items, unpopular items to stand out, explore the map for your journey to find the perfect item, socialize with other members of the game, and etc. With that said, although trading can be an excellent way to spend time in AJ. It can also cause quite a bit of stress and/or frustration. The last thing the community needs is negativity caused by trading in the game. Therefore, here are 3 healthy strategies that you can use while trading in Animal Jam!  

1. Scheduling break times.  

After trading for a long time, if not completely successful it can become very frustrating and potentially toxic. If this is something you find to be quite common when trading in Animal Jam, it is OK to take breaks. In fact, I’d recommend scheduling breaks ranging from at least 5 minutes or more to re-gather your thoughts. There are plenty of other things to do in Animal Jam, which you can read more about in other articles on the AJA, such as

2. Do NOT engage with arguments about worths.

There will be times where even if a trade you’ve offered a person is fair, they may decline. Although it might be frustrating, engaging into an argument with them about what is fair and what isn’t is not worth anyone's time. Not only does it take the time that could be used to move onto trading with someone else, but it only fuels the anger and negativity around trading and the community. If you are in a place where after fairly trading or even overtrading with someone, you still get declined. It would be healthier to simply move onto someone else or take a break. Millions of people play Animal Jam, and plenty of trading goes on all day every day.

3. Have fun! It is a game after all.

It is easy to become overly attached to trading, but it is also easy to get blind-sided by the eagerness and competition of it. There are ways to find fun and positivity in trading by being kind and understanding to others, taking time to trade for silly items as a way to change the routine, traveling to different parts of Jamaa and meeting new people, and etc. It’s okay to reach and work hard for your dream items in AJ, but just remember it’s a game, after all, it’s all about having fun!

Decorating DIYs #10

Hello! I’m King, and today I have another edition of Decorating DIYs. Today, I have a cute little   decoration to share!  

I have a nature-y bedroom design situated around my main character, Explorer, whom is a deer. His primary color schemes aren’t green and white, with a hint of red, so implemented those into my den. If you want to create a den resembling your character, make sure you pay attention to their colors, species, and things they might like to have in a den. Be sure to have a close eye to detail, as well. For example, I created a detailed bedframe using a wooden couch and lucky bench, along with pixelated fences. I also used a Sigurd statue and deer topiary to resemble his species.

Anyways, that’s it for now! I’ll see you next time. 

Decorating DIYs #9

Hey Jammers! It's Cuteypie here, taking over Decorating DIYs for the week for King! Today we have a den inspired by the American holiday approaching on Monday, Memorial Day!

This den is a cookout inspired by this American holiday that honors the men and women that died in service. In my family, we always go camping and have a nice, big cookout on the fire with family and friends. I tried using red, white, and blue (America's colors) as my scheme, but I left a few other items their original colors. I thought the new Beach Cooking Pot item would match the cookout theme perfectly! Jam On

Decorating DIYs #8

Greetings, Jammers! I’m King, and welcome to Decorating DIYs. Today, we have an inspiration den I created using Liza’s Garden! 

The den revolves around a recreational room, and is based on the new ping-pong table in Jam Mart. I used green and red as my main colors, with brown, yellow, and white as accents. Adding pets also keeps the decorations lively!

Anyways, I’ll see you all next time. Happy jamming!

Hello! I’m King, and today I bring you another edition of Decorating DIYs. Here’s the den showcase for this week! 

I have decided to use the carrot items from the spring bunny bundle to create this orange den! I used two lily rugs and one default rug to create the rug setup, and added a plethora of rabbit themed items and pets.

Anyways, thanks for tuning in! I’ll see you next time. 

Decorating DIYs #6

Hello! I’m KingJamaa, and welcome to Decorating DIYs!  Today, I have a spring decoration to share.

Most of this den is constructed with items currently or recently obtainable items through stores or adventures, which tells that you can do a lot with these kinds of items. Some can be extremely helpful, like the paint splats, stepping stones, and standing stones for the river and sturdy tables for the bridge!​ However, I do feel like I should’ve added some tulips or crocuses to the grass so it’s more lively.

Anyways, that’s it for now!​ Be sure to play wild.

Decorating DIYs #5

Hello, Jammers! Happy belated Pi Day, and a happy Lucky Day as well!  Today, I have a Pi Day themed decoration to share.

I decided to go for a red and pink theme with this den. The different pies really go for that pi theme, and the greenery surrounding provides for a sense of seclusion and tranquility.

Anyways, I’ll see you soon! Be sure to play wild.
