Hexagon Shelves (How to Make DIY Hexagon / Honeycomb Shelves + CORNER shelf)

Building Hexagon Shelves or Honeycomb shelves is a great way to add character to any room. As a bonus, I will show you how I built a CORNER hexagon shelf which will allow you to seamlessly wrap your honeycomb shelves around two walls. DIY hexagon shelves/honeycomb shelves are super easy to build and I can't wait to show you how to make them! By following these five steps, you will be able to successfully build your own DIY Hexagon Shelves and hang them on the wall:

Step 1: Cut the board into 6 identical pieces with a 30 degree mitered angle.
Step 2: Sand down the cut pieces with 120 grit sand paper.
Step 3: Form the Hexagon / honeycomb" shape using tape and wood glue.
Step 4: Sand down the entire Hexagon shelf and stain as desired.
Step 5: Hang the Hexagon Shelves on the wall using drywall anchors and screws.

Step 1: Cut Boards
To cut the hexagon / honeycomb shelves, you will need to set the angle on your miter saw to 30 degrees. Next, make your first cut on the board to establish the starting point. Once the first cut is made at 30", flip the board over and Measure 9" (or whatever length you desire) from the end of your cut. Mark the 9" mark on the board and then make another 30 degree cut. Repeat this process until you have 6 identical pieces of board cut.

Step 2: Sand down the cut pieces with 120 grit sand paper.
Sand down each piece of the hexagon shelf one-by-one to remove any jagged edges from the cut.

Step 3: Form the "honeycomb" shape using tape and wood glue.
Once the individual pieces of wood have been sanded to 120 grit, lay out the 6 pieces of your shelf end to end with the mitered side facing down. Now, run painter's tape along each piece of shelf as shown below, leaving a little extra overhanging at one of the ends. Next, flip the boards over and apply wood glue between the joints. At this point, form the "honeycomb" shape by folding the shelf together. Next use a ratchet strap to "pull" the hexagon shelf together and keep it in place while it dries. If you have access to a brad nailer, I recommend nailing each board intersection for additional durability.

Step 4: Sand down the entire Hexagon shelf and stain as desired.
After allowing the wood glue to thoroughly dry, remove the ratchet straps and inspect the shelves for any imperfections. You may find that you will need to use wood filler to conceal the brad nail marks (if any) or to fill any gaps where the boards intersect. After making any finishing touches, Sand down the hexagon shelves to make sure that they are smooth and ready for staining. Stain the hexagon shelves as you see fit.

Step 5: Hang the Hexagon Shelves on the wall.
Once your shelves have been stained, it is time to hang them on the wall. I recommend that you use saw toothed hangers, but other hanging methods would also be fine. Attach the saw tooth hangers to the center of the shelves at the top. Next install a nail/screw at the desiring hanging location for your shelf. It is recommended that the hanging nail/screw be secured directly to a stud, but using a drywall anchor is also perfectly fine.
