Maybe it’s because we are born and raised Colorado girls, but the phrase The Mountains are Calling, and I Must Go by John Muir, speaks to us. There’s something nostalgic about the mountains – the beauty, the nature and the escape – that we long for. We spend many weekends in the mountains to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and Jessica is lucky enough to see the peaks in her backyard every morning from her window.
We found a triangle geometric shelf from Michaels, and it was practically begging us to be transformed into a DIY mountain shelf. Plus, we found it to be a fun display for all the knick knacks our kids like to collect.
Materials:
- wood triangle shelf, Michaels
- spray paint, black
- felt, white
- scissors
- hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- kids toys
Directions:
Paint the triangle shelf black.
Once the shelf is dry, measure the size of the peak on all sides of the wood. We placed the white felt on top of each side of the wood triangle, and traced the outline with a pencil, and then cut it out.
Apply glue to the edges of the ‘peak’ on the wood, and press the white felt down.
Fill the shelves with all the cute little knick knacks your kids like to collect, and find a place to display.
That’s all for now. Just as the phrase goes, The Mountains are calling, and I must Go…
