Ikea Seagrass Ceiling Cloud for $25; no drilling required.
Speaking of ceiling clouds that were recently put up in the GIK forum, YouTube reviewer Tharbamar made a really nice set of ceiling clouds using an Ikea Knipsa Seagrass basket, an Ikea Vigda curtain rod, and 3M removable Command strips for the mounting the curtain rail; no holes in the drywall ceiling required.
Now, before you guys start chuckling about using an seagrass basket, the United States Navy and the University of Texas have done an acoustical study demonstrating that seagrass has very good sound-absorbing and acoustical damping properities.

Tharbamar also used an inexpensive Ikea Vigda curtain track and 3M command straps so that no damage would be done to his ceiling.
Entire cost? About $25.

Tharbamar also has a cool difussor panel that made from Ikea pegboard that really works, too, and he has measurement data from REW to back it up. Cost all in? About $20
