I need suggestions on sprucing up my apartment ( the walls mainly). I already have some framed art and family/friend pictures hanging, but i wanted to know some inexpensive decor items that i can make.

Who says you only hang pictures on the wall!!I put hats in the bathroom,make a space for a collection of baby clothes and frame them to keep them clean.Mirrors ,plates,a pretty scarf(folded just right).Look around and find things that are important to you and you'll be surprised by how many ideas you'll get.I did the hats in the bathroom thing,and my family looked at me like I was a nut,but who cares,I live with it not them.I bought a big sunhat and did the flower and ribbon thing,and old plain black sailor hat at a church sale (put on a pretty ribbon)and a frilly sunhat at a $ store-total cost $8.00.So seek and you will find just what you want to make a difference.

Get into scrapbooking. You don't just have to make pages for albums but you can buy frames (they are cheap at k mart) and put your pages into them to hang on your walls.
Also with scrapbooking they have 'off the page' craft things you can make.
It's a great way of displaying photo's of loved ones but also your 'art work'.
Find your nearest scrapbook shop and give it a go.

Get a template of a floral arrangement, or swirls and paint above a door frame.
You can make coasters using pictures you've taken or calendars, etc.
I tried to find plain lamp shades, then you glue on fabric to match your room.
