DIY Shelf Butterfly Sanctuary

Convert a shelf cart into a butterfly sanctuary! Remove the back of the shelving unit if needed, cut a piece of mesh to cover the back of the unit and staple the mesh in place. Cut a piece of mesh to cover the front of the unit, attach Velcro fasteners along each side of the mesh and use the Velcro to hold the mesh in place. Set vases or planters filled with milkweed and other plants the caterpillars may enjoy inside the sanctuary.
