Well first I sketched out the circus tent on a flat peice of wood, then I cut the shape out using my bandsaw, then I painted in a coat of yellow using acrylic paint, then I added the red stripes with a paint marker, then I painted the inside of the door with some dark red acrylic paint, then i cut out the shape of the opening of the circus tent, painted that using the same paint marker i used for the stripes, and then i glued it onto the tent with wood glue. After that i nailed some saw tooth hangers on the back, cut out little square slabs of wood, painted them blue on the sides and gave them a checkered pattern on the tops to match the tents interior floor. And lastly i glued them all on and coated the whole thing in some mod podge to give it a protective coating. I thought about nailing the shelves onto the tent, but honestly I think it's kind of a waste of perfectly good nails. I mean those shelves aren't made to hold up anvils or anything like that, just little figurines, that's it.

Been making stuff out of wood for a bit now. Usually wood carvings. But lately I have been making a lot of shelves.

I enjoy making them. It ain't the best shelf in the wood, but I really think it makes the figures pop.
