Make Invisible Bookshelves!
All home décor fans love using wall space effectively. Let us do some cheap and yet cool décor on the wall. We will try making an invisible bookshelf that really creates a stylish hover effect and also saves money and space. Follow these instructions.
Materials needed:
- 1 L shaped metal wall brace (the bigger the stronger, however, it should not be longer than the width of the book)
- Screws
- Stud Finder
- A drill
- Velcro strips
- A book that you don’t read anymore
First, take a sticky Velcro strip and stick it in the center of the back cover of the book. Similarly, stick another strip to one of the exterior sides of the metal brace.
Now, find a stud in the wall and mark it with a pencil.
Let’s begin drilling the holes. Ensure the brace is straight, and also make sure that the velcro is facing the floor.
When you have it level, mark the holes, drill the top one first. Make sure that it goes straight into the wall to avoid breaking off the bit. Similarly, do for the other holes.
Now, set the book to the bottom of the brace by sticking the velcro strip on the back cover hanging down.
Now, stack the books on top of the shelf.
Tips:
- Make sure that the diameter of the drill is a little smaller than the screw.
- Putting the top screw in the brace on the wall first before drilling the second hole is a lot easier, it makes it less difficult to keep it level.
