DIY Honeycomb Popsicle Stick Wall Art

Wall art can be expensive as fuhhh. It can be super hard to find something dope for a good price, especially if you’re looking for something that’s decently big. Hell, even those basic gradient sparkle paintings from Home Goods can be $60 for not a single reason.

My solution, as with anything that’s unnecessarily expensive, is to just make it myself.

I did some Pinterest creepin’ to get inspiration, and I noticed a lot of small popsicle stick diys. So I decided to do my own twist on it by making it bigger and throwing some paint on it.

The supplies you’ll need to get it done:

Hot glue gun
Popsicle sticks (I used this 200 pack from Amazon – $5!)
Piece of paper
Writing utensil
Paint (optional)

Step 1:

Glue together 6 popsicle sticks to form a hexagon.

Step 2:

A trick to keeping the shape consistent as you keep adding more to the figure is to trace the shape on a piece of paper. Once you have it drawn out, cut it out to use as a guide.

Step 3:

Using your guide, connect more hexagons to your existing figure. This is where you can get a little creative with the shape. The good thing about something so buildable like this is you can modify the shape as you go. I didn’t really have a plan for my figure, I just kept adding a little here, a little there.

Step 4 (optional):

If light wood isn’t your thing, slap some paint on it. Paint it all the same color, alternate colors, or if you’re feelin’ real froggy, make a second structure to pair with your piece (like below).
