How to make a floating bookshelf
Tired of boring regular bookshelves? Why not make one of these illusory floating bookshelves to house your favourite novels?
You will need:
- 2 L-bracket wall mounts
- Screws
- A hardcover book (must be hardcover to support the weight of other books)
- Drill
- Level
How to:
- Flip your book so the back cover faces up. Screw the base of each L-bracket into the book using your drill. Make sure your screws are no thicker than your book or they’ll go through the front cover.
- Flip and close book over brackets.
- Mount brackets to wall using screws and a level.
- Top with more books!
You can also buy pre-fabricated floating bookshelves that don’t damage your book here.
