Check out this fun craft I did! It’s a beehive decoration that I made out of dollar tree products! They are super easy to make, cheap and don’t take too long! I made 4 of them in about an hour! Here’s what you’ll need!
Start by gluing your rope to the edge of your flower pot.
Glue strand by strand, putting a small amount of glue on the piece of top and pressing down lightly to make them stick together.
You’ll come to a part like this, so just open your neck packeage of rope and continue on.
Just like this!
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll cruise right along!
Cut a 3-4 inch piece of rope for the loop on top!
Place a dab of hot glue in the center and place your loop!
Make sure to hold your loop as you glue near it so it doesn’t get stuck on any stray glue!
Glue a few layers up, until you get to about half way to your loop and start gluing them inwards!
When your 3/4 of the way to your loop, start gluing and going inwards towards the loop
Just like this!
Cut off your rope and tuck the last bit of rope you have, making sure to glue it down!
Cut a 2-3 inch strand off for the hole
Put some glue on the top you just cut off and quickly yet carefully place it on your beehive, making a circle.
Color or paint it in and you’re good to go!
These were super fun to make! It’s the perfect beginners craft to do! I was able to make 4, in about an hour! Have fun y’all! 😁😁😁
Beehive craft
Material
1. 3-4 packs of 9.5 feet Nautical decorative rope (I found mine by the floral stuff like the foam balls, gardening tools and flower pots, but not the seasonal stuff)
2. Glue gun and glue sticks (I used 8-10 glue sticks on each beehive)
3. Flower pot or any size pot you want.
4. A black sharpie or black acrylic paint and a paintbrush of your choosing!
Directions
1. Start by gluing your rope to your flower pot, starting at the bottom
2. Once you reach the top, cut a 3-4 inch strand of rope off and make a loop and glue in the center of the top (bottom of the pot)
3. Work your way up and once you get half way near the top of your loop, work your way into the center.
4. As you get to the 3/4 of the way to the loop, start by wrapping the rope inwards and tucking in the end of the rope to close off the opening!
5. Cut a 2-3 inch strand, put some glue on it and then carefully gglue it to the front of your beehive, making it into a circle. Fill in the middle with either a black sharpie or black acrylic paint!
