Stack a set of shelves

July 20th, 2008 at 9:11 pm (Tales of the Swamp, Life Lessons)

Stacking ShelvesThis is the coolest idea for making your own shelves.

You’ll need a collection of sturdy wooden boxes in various sizes, decorating materials, and two sections of heavy-duty strapping. Stick with wooden boxes. Because the assemblage will be under a fair amount of pressure when the unit is completed, you will likely find that even the sturdiest of cardboard boxes will not be up to the strain.

Paint and/or paper these boxes, inside and out, in any way that satisfies your creative heart. When the boxes are decorated, play with their placement until you get an arrangement that satisfies you.

Lay your two pieces of strapping on the ground, and place your boxes on top. Wrap the strapping around, pull tight, and that’s it! (Almost) instant shelving!
