How to Make Your Own Hanging Shelf:

We had a fight slice of pino board leftover from this project. The outset pace for your shelf is to cutting your forest to 5″ x 16″.

The side past times side pace is to mensurate 3/4″ from each border too depict a take away line. The lines volition intersect inward the corners 3/4″ from each side to laissez passer y'all an exact spot to drill.

Next, y'all postulate to role your forstner bit to drill into the board at the measured spots. I placed a instant fight slice of forest underneath my board to brand certain that the woodon the bottom would non divide when the drill fight went through.

Once the holes are drilled, pigment your shelf amongst your dark bluish paint.

The finally pace is to cutting your leather. Use fabric scissors to cut leather strips that are approx. 1/2″ inward width. One leather strap should move 40″ too ane should move 39″ – y'all postulate a slightly longer strap to attain the front end 2 holes.

When y'all get together this modern shelf y'all desire to weave the leather through the hole too and thence necktie a knot. Mine had approx. 1″ of leather left afterwards the knot that I allowed to hang loose. You may desire to role a degree too hang the shelf against the wall to brand certain it is sitting take away – if not, only accommodate the knots downwards or upwardly slightly.

I absolutely LOVE this picayune modern shelf! I fifty-fifty made a instant ane (in unopen to other colour) that volition move revealed inward a novel room shortly (possibly a babe nursery…. lol).

The hanging shelf was the perfect add-on to our little corner :)
