Continuation for Hexagon Shelf


Previously I made a hexagon shelf but I wanted more to go with it and larger in size.
Last time I only used 1 pack (100 count) for one hexagon and it wasn't as wide as I wanted for a shelf so I also added on to the previous shelf.
Materials:
  • Popsicle sticks 100 ct packs- $1 each at Dollar Tree (I used around 200-300 sticks per hexagon depending on the shape)
  • Paper and marker to draw out stencil 
  • Glue
  • Paint (I used gold spray paint)- $3.68 at Walmart
 Tape together paper 
 and draw out your design
 When laying out the Popsicle sticks make sure you alternate between laying them down on the bottom and then gluing the next layer on top. 
 Glue, Glue, Glue
Building each layer
Each shape is 20 sticks wide.
I added on more Popsicle sticks to the previous shelf to make it wider.
My third design
Spray paint your desired color
And hang!
 I only spray painted 2 of the 3 shelves because the third design need to dry more.

Front Door Wreath

Front Door Wreath Project 
Supplies:
  • Metal wreath frame (Dollar Tree)
  • 1 Roll of burlap (2 if you need to cover the whole frame)(Dollar Tree)
  • 3-6 Bouquets of fake flowers
  • Glue gun/glue sticks

I found lots of flowers at Dollar Tree, here are some but I didn't use all that are pictured.
I made 3 trips to get the color combinations right.
I made 2 wreaths and added purple and blue flowers to the yellows and whites I had.
The burlap did not wrap all the way around but I used this to my advantage by 
placing the flowers in that area so it would be covered up.
(I really didn't want to make another trip to Dollar Tree)
 I bought a bunch of different flowers but I returned some and added blues and purples.
After hot gluing down the burlap, add the flowers with some leaves behind them.
