Upgrade and decorate five dollar Target wire shelving

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to share a recent project I worked on. We took a $5 wire shelving from Target and made a simple upgrade by decorating it. Additionally, we added a basic shelf using craft popsicle sticks.

Video tutorial




Materials needed


One wire shelving -I purchased this at Target for five dollars in the dollar spot.

Jumbo craft popsicle sticks- you will only need three
Craft gems
One round wooden circle
Hot glue
Paint


Decorations for your wire shelving
Faux succulents
Faux vines
Craft butterflies
One small  pot
One glass candle jar
One-operated candle




Begin by applying paint to the bottom wood board on your wire shelving.




Next, take your three craft popsicle sticks and apply your paint onto each stick.


Once you have applied your paint, take each stick and begin to add it to the wire openings.


Add a little hot glue to keep each craft stick in place.


You are now ready to add your faux vines. Take some hot glue and add each vine from the top section of your wire shelving.


Next, take your faux plants and begin to cut them to size. After cutting them to size, add them to your pot. 



Take any other plants, and add them to the top shelf. I used some hot glue and added a succulent flower on the top shelf I created, and I also added a flower on the bottom wood section as well.


Now, apply some paint onto your wood circle. For this, I am using a color called berry. 


Next, using glue, add your craft gems around your painted wood circle. 


Take your glass candle jar, and place your battery-operated candle inside your jar. Next, place your jar on top of your decorated wood circle, and place it on the inside bottom wood section.


Take your craft butterflies, and using glue, add them to your shelf. I just used a little hot glue and added my butterflies on the top, side, and front of my wire shelving. 


Your wire shelving is now complete. I love how easy it was to add that extra shelf, and decorating this was as simple as well. I had all of my materials on hand, and I just purchased the wire shelving. Such a simple and quick project. I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for creating with me. I'll see you soon.

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
