Directions
1. Paint all of your wood desired colors

3. Follow this same process to attach seconds piece of wood to dowel.
4. For Propeller: Drill the circle plaque to the center of the bottom wing. Hot glue 2 ornate plaques to a large circle plaque. Position them in a way so they are not blocking the shelf. Hot glue the smaller circle plaque over the line where the two ornate plaques meet.
5. For Wheels: Cut heart shaped plaques in half. Stack small circle on top of larger circle. Pre-drill holes in all 3 plaques (make sure to stack the plaques in the way you want it to sit on dowel before drilling). Hot glue drawer pull to one end of ¼ inch dowel. Slide wheel and leg through dowel. Hot glue the small and large plaques to each other. Hot glue leg (half-heart) to the dowel so it won’t move. Repeat same process on the other end of the dowel for the seconds wheel. Place and L-bracket on the inside of both half-hearts. Attach to bottom of bottom shelf.
