How do I make aquarium decor that looks real and is fish-friendly?

The cost of fish and required items you must have to keep healthy fish, are astronomical. In a hobby that should be inexpensive depending on size, is not. A small 10g tank can cost hundreds. Not if you just want cold water fish, water and tank. But we want a beautifully created home for our finned friends. And to reflect our home decor, we need other things. To buy these things can lead to frustration and financial destruction. I've made some rock and pebble decor cheap. Glue the only thing purchased. But now feel so limited on just what I can do. I have seen diy rock background, and my idea of painting the back glass with acrylic paint. Now I need more easy, cheap, and safe ways to make my less expensive tank look as good, if not better, than those I see that hundreds are spent for decor.
