Crafty genius!!

Tiny bookshelf!
Ironically, the shelves are too small for my small drinks.
However! They stack!

I had a genius idea while in the bathroom (because that’s where all good ideas happen) and decided to test it.

Thankfully I still had enough tiny bookshelves (I also finally completed my tiny book collection!! Just in time for the second series to come out lol!) to experiment with.

I knew they stacked, I just wasn’t sure if they stacked without the base.

They do!

Next problem was how to use the shelf still and since it fit almost perfectly I took off the piece that usually clicks into the opening and makes the base.

It’s a little hard to tell because my cuts aren’t exactly even, but the second protrusion is what I took off. Worked perfectly!

Prototype!

I had to make sure the spacing was right of course before gluing. I actually marked up my metal ruler for this.

I’m not sure how, but some of the bases (middle line) would have clicked into place.

I’d already cut them all, but good to know for next time!

I almost made the mistake of using other non-cut pieces. Thankfully I realized that would be a waste since the I need those for other things.

Even though they wouldn’t click into place anymore, I did use the cut ones for the entire thing.

Everything that I had matched into possibly fitting!

The black strips on the side are for the cover/door. I needed a little more space for the ones with plates and the magnet strips gave me that space.

I might try hinges next time and use modeling clay to bump it out.

I love experimenting!

EVERYTHING (except one Halloween drink) fit!!!

I know the picture isn’t that good, but it took a little longer than I thought.

I have an another genius idea for the longer items I have (platters, trays, etc…), but I really need to finish the last of my scrapbook before getting into another crafty thing.

It’ll also involve buying more craft supplies and I’m really trying to use up what I have first.

Although, I’ve had another idea for crafty storage that may do the trick for my room…

We shall see.

Hope y’all enjoyed these tiny adventures into crafting!

Next week may be a Bible one because I just read something SO funny and feel like sharing. I just didn’t want to postpone this one again.

Don’t forget to pray because God is DEFINITELY listening!
