The link above is to my Instagram Reel on how to DIY your own honeycomb shelves. This was an idea that I came up with when I saw other influencers have those super cute shelves, that everyone can not afford.
I have been asked by a lot of people how I came up with the idea and if I could be more thorough in my explanation aside from the Reel. So this is the Step-By-Step on how to DIY your own Honeycomb Shelves!
Step 1:
Step 2:
Definitely do this outside so get a towel that you don't care about to put down under the shelves
You will also need pieces of towel that you will be comfortable throwing away
Step 3:
Sand your shelves
Wipe the shelves down after you sand them
Step 4:
Use the sponge brush to apply a light layer of stain to the shelves
Step 5:
After about an hour, wipe the stain off with the towel
(The directions for each stain may be different on how long to leave it on there before wiping it down so you should read the label on your can)
Step 6:
I waited until the next day to apply the second layer of stain but you can check your can to see if you have to wait that long for yours before you apply the next layer of stain
You also do not have to apply another layer if you are happy with the color of the first
Be sure to wipe the stain off after the second layer also
Step 7:
Apply a thin layer of polyurethane after the stain is COMPLETELY dry
I waited until the day after I stained them to apply the polyurethane
Once I applied the polyurethane I gave it another full day before I hung them on the wall
Step 8:
HANG THEM AND LOVE THEM
