DIY hexagon shelfs

After scrolling through Pinterest for a few days I finally came to conclusion we NEEDED hexagon shelfs. This was a matter of life and death! I swear! A quick trip to the hardware store with my boyfriend + screaming toddler covered in sawdust, we had a few new plant babies in tow and some wood to start our project. I had him cut down all the wood to 8″ pieces with a 30 degree angle on each end, then the rest of the assembly was  super easy. 

We sanded the edges of each wood piece then attached then with a nail gun. After I stained the wood this beautiful cherry color. Then I painted the inside of the hexagon and let dry over night. 

There you have it! If you look close in the photo there's also a triangle shelf that my dad created for us but I need to get the measurements from him to put it up properly on my blog. It's so beautiful though. Keep a look out for that how to! 

DIY Ash & Misty outfits

Unless you live under a rock, Pokemon Go has taken over the world! My boyfriend and daughter have been hooked since the beta release last week, tag teaming the city representing team valor. My boyfriend grew up with Pokemon. It's always been more than a game to him. A nostalgic piece of his childhood he's now able to share this with his kids. I decided to make the kids costumes of Ash & Misty to wear while they go hunting Pokemon with their pops. 

Everything I found at Walmart. 

For Ash:

A solid royal blue shirt (clearance for $2)

A solid white button down ($2)

Yellow & Green fabric paint (0.97¢)

Buttons I already had 

A solid red hat ($2.97

White acrylic paint I already had 

For Misty:

Yellow tank top ($2.97)

Shirts Rae already had

Red suspenders ($6.00)

The Misty outfit is pretty self explanatory. 

For Ash I placed the blue shirt over the white button up. I then cut the sleeves off the blue shirt, exposing the white sleeves. I next cut both shirts down the center. After you cut down the center line up the blue to the white shirt. I used my hot glue gun to make a hem along the blue shirt and folded it over the white. Making a clean line. I used yellow fabric paint to create the pockets and the yellow line in the bottom of the jacket (let dry for six hours). Lastly attach the button on the left side with a hot glue gun.  For the hat I taped off the area I needed to paint white, a few solid coats of white paint, let dry about one hour. Then I used green fabric paint to do the L in his hat. Let dry about six hours.
