Next, pick upward your sander together with sand downward all sides of your wood. Stain the wood with whatever coloring fabric stain you lot chose.

Let the stain dry out for 24 hours, together with and thus use a coat of varnish to protect your wood.

Assembling the shelves:

Gather your black steel piping pieces for the arms of the shelves.

This volition scope you lot the area to screw your flange into (to hold the shelf level.)

Place your assembled arm against the wall, together with identify your forest shelf on top, making certain that your flange rests inside the zone you lot only measured. When you lot are happy amongst the placement, depict through the holes of the flange to score the screw locations.

Take the display shelf off of the wall together with screw the board inwards identify amongst the 1/2″ forest screws. Level and hang the shelf on the wall.

Throw to a greater extent than or less of your pretty knick knacks together with plants on top, together with you’re done!
