On Saturday my husband and I did a little DIY project for my beauty room. We created these super easy floating shelves which turned out really nice, so naturally I thought, why not share?! This project was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and it's also really affordable and budget friendly; which is so awesome! Here's the full list of supplies and tools you'll need for this DIY:
SUPPLIES + TOOLS
- Lumbar. We purchased a wooden plank that was 6' in length and 1" in thickness which we later cut into three 24" pieces; we paid about $8 for the lumbar.
- Drywall Anchors. We bought two packs of these anchors.
- Corner Brace. These are the ones we used.
- Sand Paper. You'll need this to smooth the edges and surfaces before painting/staining.
- Spray Paint. This step is optional and completely depends on the look you're going for. I wanted white shelves so I used this spray paint to achieve the look, you can also use acrylic paint. If you want the natural wooden look you'll need wood conditioner and wood stain.
- Tools: Saw // Drill // Level // Measuring Tape // Pencil
WHAT TO DO
- Start by measuring and marking the shelf length you want
- Use the markings as a guideline and cut the wood using a saw
- After the wood is cut to your desired length, sand and smooth all the edges/surfaces
- Paint the shelves and let them dry
- Screw the corner braces onto each self using the drill [we used two braces per shelf]
- Place and level the shelves where you want them to go on the wall and mark it with a pencil
- Drill the drywall anchors over your markings
- Use the drill to screw the shelves onto the wall
