MAKE IT / 15
i’ve been waiting weeks to post this new DIY! natalie, arian and I teamed up with ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape
again and made these three patterned shelves and a cool how-to video. they came out so beautifully, i can barely contain my excitement!
we spent one day sketching and painting outside and the other day styling up the shelves inside with beautiful treasures. above are some of the instagrams i snapped along the way. and here’s what you will need to do to make them all for yourself!
the supplies:
• pre cut wood boards (we used 3 ft. birch boards)
• ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape
in various sizes
• glossy white and gold spray paint
• aqua craft paint
• shelving hardware
• paint brush
watch the video and follow the steps below!
• sketch designs, linear and geometric are best for this project. we decided to use 3 colors, white, gold and aqua as an accent. make note in your sketch which areas will be painted which color.
• tape out design, on both sides of the board, paying attention to the edges to be sure your design wraps around.
• tape over all areas that you have designated to paint gold.
• spray exposed areas with glossy white paint on both sides and edges. allow to dry completely, the longer you let the paint dry the nicer your final results will be.
• peel tape to expose area to be painted gold and tape over the areas now white. we love the ScotchBlue delicate surface tape for taping over freshly painted areas.
• spray three glamorous layers of gold paint on exposed areas and allow to dry.
• peel off all tape to reveal entire board.
• pick some small areas within your design to tape off and paint Aqua using a paintbrush for accuracy.
• peel last layer of paint to unleash your beautiful new shelf.
• install shelf according to the specifications of your chosen hardware.
it’s time to hang & style these up!
i really hope you guys make these shelves, they were SO easy and add such a nice touch to your ordinary wooden shelves.

These shelves are the coolest. The patterns, colours and overall styling are spectacular. Love, love this DIY. Thanks Bri, Natalie and Arian.
This is just gorgeous… I’m going to apply this to our small coffee table. It has seen better days, and I was going to get rid of it, but you made me reconsider. Thank you =)
Awesome! Love this idea and you photographed it so beautifully. Well done.
Oh how fun! What a great way to add creative design to your space! looks so fun!

Ooooooo these are cute!!
wow. Great work ladies!
This is a beautiful project but I’d imagine that if you want this to keep, you should put some kind of final sealant over everything – in my experience, paint alone will eventually peel off onto objects left on top for a longer period of time. Not sure how it’d affect the texture of the gold but I’m sure there’s a way around that.
Fantastic video……..I loved the editing of the styling of the shelves!
love it love it ….LOVE IT!
Holy crap… beautiful shelves! (and by “crap”, in this reference, I of course mean awesome.) These videos are wonderful…
love this! 🙂 Irene Wibowo
Love the idea for my studio and my daughters bedroom! I’m going try using gold & silver leaf instead to add texture and depth.
Thanks for the idea! I’ve got wooden magazine holders, so I just painted them with your DIY inspiration awesomeness! 🙂
I just hired a task rabbit to install these same shelves by Rubbermaid.. Now I’m inspired to embellish them!
I completely LOVE these shelves, are gonna make this weekend….can I just ask (for a complete diy NO CLUE person 😉 the birch..does it need to be treated/untreated/varnished/plain? Any feedback would be greatly appreicated! Thanks from London!! 🙂
waouh! I love your shelves! it’s a beautiful DIY! thanks a lot!
Love that pop of color! We recently started offering our hexagon / honeycomb shelves with a little pop of color as well.

I love these shelves! Where did you find the birch shelves? They are exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Wait do we need to apply primer? and what sort of paint is used Acrylic, latex is it mixed with glaze, water?
Beautiful design!! So we don’t need to apply primer? and what sort of paint is used Acrylic, Latex? Is it mixed with glaze, water?
Sowie.. Just read the text on the cans! Love the website as well.
Suppose, we had some labels somewhere here, we see which subtree requires more registers, the recursive routine is called on
n2 first. Now, over here, and we’ll give you a cover for this entire tree.
The Playstation Network store offers many games, movies, newspapers, poetry or fiction.
You cannot have arbitrary computations, you cannot really do a preorder traversal and come back, but we already replicated 8 between 4 and 5.
In your PSN wallet, you can quickly access that cheat again by opening the phone and selecting
the ‘cheats’ option in the menu.
Absolutely love what you’ve done with those boring shelves! I was just wondering how to break the monotony of wooden shelves after shelves in my kitchen, and you’ve sort of opened up a whole new world of ideas for me! I plan to link this post to my website when I write about shelves. Great job!
Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a
little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a
free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so
many options out there that I’m completely confused ..
Any suggestions? Thanks!

More profit would mean planning to gift to ourselves or by cheque.

The apparent risk is to be a rewarding experience if you want to shine.
