Materials:
Â
- Popsicle sticks (I used 120)Â
- Tacky glue
- MinWax wood stainÂ
- Paint brush
- Protective gloves
- Wall hanger (optional)
Procedure:
1.Notice on this photo I laid 3 sticks flat on the paper. Place glue on each corner of the sticks. Grab 3 more sticks and place each corner of them on top of the glue, forming a hexagon. This pattern will naturally form as you keep stacking the sticks together. Make sure that the round corners align with one another, this is how you will create a even hexagon shape.
Â
2.I created 20 total rows in order for my tin can to be able to fit. The depth of your shelf will depend on the width of your planter.
Â
Â
3.I waited for my glue to completely dry.
4.I put on my protective gloves and started to stain my shelf using my paint brush. I used the brand MinWax in the color 'cherry' #235. I brushed on two coats. I highly recommend you staining and drying your shelf outside. The stain has a very strong smell that you don't want in your living space.
5.As you let your shelf completely dry, work on arranging your planter. If you don't want to display a planter on your shelf, you can always display small trinkets or framed photos. Â

6.You can either hang your shelf or place it on a table and BOOMđ you've got yourself a handmade shelf made completely out of popsicle sticks!đ
