hi guys. this is lu-ann skaggs. and welcome to the channel. now guys. if you would like to see. how i made these very easy. and very useful shells. then keep on watching. now a full list of all the materials needed for this project.
would be found, in the description down below. now let's get started. now for this project. we'll be using this container, that i picked up from the dollar tree. now the issue with this container. is that it comes down at an angle. now what i did, for this issue. is, i decided to use floating shelves. now that's what we're going to be doing, in this project.
now to hang these shells. we'll be cutting, a piece of cardboard. 1 1/2 inch wide. now this is the, double corrugated cardboard. it's a much stronger cardboard. and it would, hold up the shelves much better. now i don't know, if you could see this. but there are some lines, running down the cardboard. and we'll be cutting, directly on these lines.
now to cut the cardboard, we'll be using an exacto knife. now we need eight of these pieces, for one shelf. now on the cardboard, we'll be putting glue between these areas. now we want to put, a generous amount of glue. because it's most likely. that it's between here. that the pieces would come apart. now we do this for all the pieces. then we'll turn it over.
and do the same, for the other side. once we have finish with that. i'll show you the pattern, in which we'll be gluing them on to the container. now for the first row. we'll count one. and we'll be gluing the cardboard, onto the second row. now after you're done, putting glue on the both sides. you may want to also, put glue on these two ends as well. because it could also snag on those ends.
but for the sake of this video. i'll just be gluing this, in the inside. now guys. as you can see. this is a perfect size, to fit in the inside here. and it doesn't show true, on the outside. now we'll be gluing this, in please. now once we're finish with this layer. we'll count one two. and we'll glue the other one, on this layer.
and we'll continue this. all the way up. until we're finished. then we'll do the same, for the other side. now once we're done, gluing on all the cardboards to the trey. we'll take the trey, and these containers outside and spray-paint them. now i'll be using this, rust-oleum metallic silver spray paint. to spray-paint mine's. now guys, once we have our pieces spray painted.
this is the way that. the containers fit, inside of the trey. now these shells, could hold a lot of weight. and the only thing, that determines the amount of weight, that nigger hold. is the cardboard that weglued onto the side so that's why we want to make sure and put enough glue tohold the cardboard in place because that will determine how much weight we couldput inside of these trees once you're done you could leave yourselves exactlylike this they look beautiful just like this or you could leave it the originalway that it came in the beginning but i
want to decorate mines even more now forsome reason because i was making this video the shelf decided to get scratchedso i'm not going to worry about this right now i'm going to continuedecorating and i'll touch this up later no i'll be using this black and silverdiamond wrap but you could always use the diamond wrap from the dollar treenow i'll be using two rows of diamond wrap to go along the edge of the shellsnow i would show you what i do to go along the corners and we'll be doingthat for all the shelves now for the corners we want to cut two of the treadsthat goes between the diamond wrap now we want to cut about three or four ofthose treads and we're going to be using
those for around the corners and we'regoing to simply do this all the way around until we have finished gluing onall the time unwrapped on our shelves now if your piece is too short just addanother two strand make sure that it lines up perfectly and continue gluingnow once you're finished we'll move on to the trees now we'll be gluing toolsof rhinestones at the top two at the bottom and one in the middle now guys ifthis is your first time here consider subscribingwe have more great videos like this come in every week now once we are done gluing our blingwrap onto our shelves we are going to be
using these gems that i picked up fromthe dollar tree and we are going to be gluing one in the middle of our shelfno this will just give us a nice cute little handle now once you're finishedyou'll be using command strips to hang them on the wall now guys if you want tostack them one on top of each other then you'll use command strips at the bottomto attach it to the other one and then command strip on the back to stick it tothe wall and that's how you stack them one on top of the other and also side byside now guys these shelves cleared up so many things in my homebecause you have shelves for your big things and cupboards but there is hardlyany place for my small things so this
really helped out a lot now one of thereasons why it helped out a lot is that you could see through the trees and youcould remove the tree that you need use it on your work table and then place itback in the shelf and that i really like the convenience of keeping everythingall together and then placing it back together that really helps me withorganization and being much money so guys i hope this helps you as much as ithelped me so bye for now guys and see you all in the next one thanks fortaking the time all to watch the video you have a blessed and poor sunday nowif you like this video you may also like these as well and don't forget to likecomment and subscribe see you in the
