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.

DIY Popsicle Hexagon Shelf

DIY Popsicle Shelf
Materials:
  • Popsicles - I used 100 ct from Dollar Tree to make 1 shelf (I suggest more)
  • Wood glue or Elmer's glue
  • Paint - I used gold spray paint
I made an outline on paper to make sure the shape turned out right.
50 ct stack down 
 Let the glue dry and then spray paint
 Make sure to flip and spray both sides
 After hanging mine up it I realized it needed more layers
or something smaller to sit on the shelf.
 Ill be making more shelves to go with the one
and adding more layers. This shelf had 90 Popsicle sticks - 15 sticks wide.
I got this original idea here.

Snowflake wall ornaments from popsicle sticks

Hanging snowflake wall art from popsicle sticks.
All you need is popsicle sticks, hot glue, and paint. Super simple and easy to take up empty space that is just asking for some decorations. 
I chose gold since it looks classic.

 Hot glue your desired design. It took 1 package of popsicle sticks (100 ct) for 2 large ornaments. 
 Paint it gold!
 Before the paint & after.
 
Our tree is half decorated here since we're taking it down very slowly this year...
Now I just don't know how I will store these without breaking them before the next year.
