Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Plan your shelf dimensions based on available wood. A simple design with two horizontal shelves supported by two 2x4 vertical sides works well.
2. Cut plywood to desired shelf sizes using scrap pieces.
3. Sand all wood surfaces to smooth any rough edges.
4. Spray paint the wood pieces in your chosen colors and allow to dry completely.
5. Drill holes near the edges of the vertical 2x4s where the shelves will attach.
6. Attach the shelves to the vertical sides using wood screws and wood glue for extra strength.
7. Cut four equal lengths of rope to create hanging loops.
8. Tie each rope securely through the holes drilled in the vertical sides, forming loops that will support the shelf when mounted.
9. Spray paint the rope if desired to add a colorful accent; let dry.
10. Mount the assembled shelf on the wall using wall anchors and screws, ensuring it is level and secure.
11. Use the shelf to store books, plants, or decorative items.
