Crafty DIY Projects

Make your books look like they're floating effortlessly on your wall. It's a stylish and simple way to store your favourite reads.

What you will need:

  • Hinged Wall Brackets (as many as you would like)
  • Wall plugs
  • Impact Drill and drill bits
  • Wall plugs
  • Screws to fit the size of your chosen bracket
  • A book you aren’t too attached to (this will have to be glued to the bracket)
  • Strong contact adhesive

Method:

  1. Mark where on the wall you want the shelves.
  2. Mark the holes.
  3. Drill the holes for the bracket.
  4. Put in the wall plugs.
  5. Screw the bracket into the wall tightly.
  6. Glue the bottom of the book to the bracket so that the book forms a base for other books to be put on top off.
  7. Once dry place your books on the base book and voila, you have a stylish invisible bookshelf.
