TikToker @anikasdiylife begins by cutting down the longer pine boards into shorter lengths of her shelves. You will need six identical lengths of wood, each one cut at a 30-degree angle on the ends, which will allow them to sit firmly together. You can measure each cut individually, or as a TikTok user suggested in the comments, create a stop clamped to the saw for an even cut each time. Once you have all the cuts. lay them out flat in a row, using painter’s tape to secure the pieces together on the flat side. Flip them over and use wood glue in the V at each of the joists liberally. Begin to roll up the pieces to create your six-sided shape. The tape will hold the pieces together while you add the nails (Pine and Poplar recommends 1.25-inch brad nails in a similar DIY tutorial.)

Once you have the hexagon constructed, remove the tape and allow the wood glue to dry thoroughly before sanding any rough edges and preparing the surface for stain or paint. While this tutorial creates a single shelf, you can also build multi-shelf configurations. Fasten the hexagons together with additional nails, or build out directly from the shelf with more mitered lengths of wood. To hang on the wall, use D-rings or sawtooth hangers on the back of the shelves.
