Honeycomb Shadow Shelf

By attosa

Honeycomb Shadow Shelf - shelf on wall with two items displayedI made this mini shelf out of popsicle sticks with the intent to display mini figurines sent to me by my Japanese pen pal. When placed next to a window or lamp, it casts wonderful dimensional shadows, really showing off what's on display. This is a great craft for all ages.
