Agree, sometimes you want to add something original to your interior, but do not spend money! Let's try to do this with a kitchen shelf on the wall. This exclusive piece of furniture in retro style will be made from an old box and, while partially retaining its brutal look, will fit perfectly into almost any interior.
Making a shelf on the wall with your own hands
For work, we need an old box, a drill, an empty glass jar of an interesting shape, varnish, a brush, a level, a screwdriver, hooks, screws, dowels, recipe printouts.
Let's start by critically inspecting the box and, if necessary, lightly clean it and process the inside surface with sandpaper. We apply a layer of varnish on it and glue the recipes in random order. In this case, air bubbles should be driven from the center to the edges, as when wallpapering. Then, when the paper dries, cover it with several layers of the same varnish.
While it dries, we drill a couple of holes in the lid of the jar and screw it to the bottom of our box from the outside.
Beside herscrewing in a few hooks.
Turn the box upside down and drill two holes in the back wall, this will make it easier to hang the shelf on the wall, however, you can use special fasteners.
Apply the shelf to the wall, align it with a level and mark the location of the holes with a pencil.
If the wall is concrete, we drill holes and hammer in dowels, into which we then screw the screws. If wooden, just fasten the shelf to the screws.
Screw the jar into the lid. Everything, we have finished making shelves on the wall. Photos quite clearly reflect the whole process of work. You can make any changes to it. For example, paint a shelf in your favorite color. So it will look completely different, but no less interesting.
It remains to fill the shelf. It is convenient to store tea or cookbooks in it, you can pour sugar into the jar or place various little things in it, and hang mugs on hooks.
You can combine several of these shelves and a pallet and build a whole rack out of them.
We make shelves for the nursery
If you do not need a kitchen shelf, then there is always a need for a shelf for children's toys and books!
Us, as in the previous example,you will need a crate that can be lightly sanded if needed.
Painting the box. In this case, in white - to match the walls.
Saw it in half. If there is no special table, an electric jigsaw or a regular hacksaw is quite suitable for this.
The two halves will make two beautiful shelves. If you need a deeper shelf, just measure the required distance and cut the box, however, in this case, you can only get one product. We fasten special canopies to each.
Everything, the shelves are ready. It remains only to hang them on the wall.
So that magazines or notebooks do not fall between the planks, put a piece of cardboard on the bottom.
Perhaps by hanging these shelves on the wall, you will help the children to keep their room in order, especially if they take part in their production.
