Cute, Easy, Diy Beehive Tutorial

I have been seeing so many cute bee décor ideas as we approach spring.
One that I keep seeing are these adorable bee hives. Inspiration hit and I had to try and create one for myself. 

Supplies

Half of a plastic Easter egg
Twine rope
Hot glue gun and glue
Wax paper
Scissors
Small paint brush
Americana Multi-surface paint -black tie
Embellishments of your choice


I bought my plastic Easter eggs at Walmart. They are nesting eggs and were the perfect size for my beehives. For best results use the rounded end and not the flat end.


Wrap the egg half  in wax paper. Twist at the top and fold under the egg. This keeps your hot glue from sticking to the egg and holds the shape.



Start at the large end. Add a drop of glue to the wax paper and attach the twine. Continue wrapping the twine around the egg hot gluing it to hold it into place. As you wind up to the next layer, and all layers after, you add the hot glue to the twine not the wax paper.


Cut the plastic wrap off the bottom and top. If wanted you can remove all the plastic wrap. 
NOTE: In some places you will not be able to remove all the wax paper from the hive. 



 
Cut a piece of twine for your loop at the top and another for the bee opening on the side. Glue into place. Paint the back twine of the opening with Americana multi-surface paint. Be careful not to get paint on the circle of twine.



Glue on any embellishments you want to finish your hive. NOTE: I added a wood base recycled from old coasters.


I hope this inspired you to make your own cute and easy beehive for your spring decor!

HERPES is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with Herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine for it,  I have read about DR JAMES the great herbalist doctor who cured me from Herpes  with his powerful herbal medicine.  I contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbal mix after 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via UPS SPEED POST and it got to me after 3 days!
