RAINBOW SHELF
Hii,
INFINITE RAINBOW SHELF means, the shelves made of Hexagon shape, we can arrange them in infinite styles, and I covered all the Rainbow colors in this shelves. I simply made this in one day, I averagely spent 300rs (4$). Actually this looks Pretty amazing, and looks more attractive when anyone seeing this. When any one vising my house they are almost asking me, that where I bought this? at what price? when I said I made them on my own, they are curiously asking me to make the other one for them. Even you can make this at your home with using simple tools. I added only GIF's to better understand every step. I think I explained everything through my steps will all issues I faced in between and their solutions. Let's get started.
