Billy Bookcases DIY

Enter my friend Kate. She gave some more details about the project, and I knew I was sold. While I loved the 15” depth of Ikea’s newer bookcase, I knew I wanted them to go all the way to the ceiling. The extenders are only available on the 11” depth, so the decision was made for me. Whew! After measuring the width of my wall, I knew I needed 4 bookcases. We found these strips at Lowes that would be the width we needed.

Once these were attached with small nails and my nail gun, it really made the piece come to life. We didn’t put any wood underneath the shelves, but we did attach the shelves to the back wall with L-brackets from the top. Speaking of crown molding, that went up next. That is where my luck ran out. Finally, we installed the baseboard. The finishing touches involved caulk and paint. Sorry about the night shot, but this shows the caulking.

DIY Paper Flower Lanterns

Woohoo! First up, the ladies behind Icing Designs. You may remember the gorgeous paper flowers they shared here back at Christmas time, and now they have another paper flower DIY to share, this time for the warmer months! YAY! They jazzed up some paper lanterns with their faux floral creations and these are so perfect for outdoor bashes. Mini paper lanterns (You could really do this with any size lantern!) Cut out a 2×2 inch square. Unfold the tissue and layer the flower shapes on top of each other, staggering the petals. Take the petals and fold them in half gently, cut a small slit in the back middle. Stick the floral stamens in, put some hot glue on them {under the flower} to hold them in place. Trim the back if there are stamen stems hanging down, put a dab of glue on the back of the flower and glue it onto the lantern.
