Another round shelf project or two or three.....

Hi. I had gotten four of these round thick cardboard things from my work. I painted two of them purple for my daughter and two of them green for my oldest son. While I showed you what I did with the first one, I finished a second one and started on the two for my son.

 This time I cut a bunch of strips of paper, roughly a 1/4" wide and I used my fancy cutters, switching up the type of cuts to add a variety.

 Using my quilling tool, I rolled up a bunch of these and let them loosen out to different widths, to add variety. I glued the tip of the paper and let them dry before adding them to the shelf.

 Here I made a quilled flower about 3" big and added some rinestones and one of my Crafty Little Designs butterflies to the top of it.

 I made a second flower, and since it didn't glue very well to the shelf, I placed two of my Crafty Little Designs Spiral flower die cuts behind it.

 On each of the sides, I added a bow, a Crafty Little Designs Flower Flourish die cut and a clip of some decorative paper. My husband creatively decided to place a flame-less candle in the shelf making it glow up really nicely.

 For my son, I had to try to think of some way to decorate it with out flowers and butterflies. So I cut strips from my cardboard like paper and wrapped them around at an angle. since the strips didn't quite fit all around, I added a nice wide area of just the paper to close them together.

 For his other one, I created a checker board effect. I cut a sheet the same width as the shelf, then I measured it into four equal parts. Since my paper strips were still the 11" length of the page, I just cut them down inch by inch, surprisingly only needed to use three sheets.

More to come with Andrew's shelves. I don't have a hot glue gun yet, or had the chance to run over to the craft store and buy one. Once I do, I will be placing some old hot wheels on these with other decor.
