Bienvenidos de nuevo a los astutos expresionistas! Welcome back, Crafty Experts!

As we step into a brand new year, it's time to embrace the endless creative possibilities that await us. This is the year of learning new skills, upskilling, and even earning from your talents. At Crafty Expressions, we're promoting a "skilltastic" year filled with exciting DIY projects.

Today's focus is on using popsicle sticks to create a simple yet stylish home décor piece: the hexagon shelf. Whether you're saving popsicle sticks from summer treats or buying them from your nearest craft store, this project is perfect for a low-budget, quick craft session. It takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Hexagon Shelf Supplies

What You Will Need:

• Popsicle sticks (about 100)

• Hot glue gun (wood glue or tacky glue)

• Glue gun sticks

• Wood stain or oil paint (optional)

• Paintbrush (optional)

• Eyelet screws or nails
  

Instructions

Step 1: Create the Hexagon Base Lay out six sticks to form a hexagon. Ensure all the sides are even.

Step 2: Attach the Sticks Use hot glue to carefully attach all the sticks at the joints to secure the hexagon shape.

Step 3: Build the Layers Once the base is complete, start stacking additional layers of sticks, glueing each one, until you achieve the desired depth for your shelf.

Step 4: Customize Your Shelf Paint the hexagon shelf in your chosen colour, finish it with a wood stain, or leave it natural to showcase the beauty of the popsicle sticks.

Step 5: Hang Your Shelf Hang your finished hexagon shelf on the wall using two nails or wall screws for a chic and functional décor piece.
