DIY Bookshelves Made from Books

If you like using shelves to show off favourite objects, keepsakes, photographs or collections, and to make them a feature of the room, the idea we found on Realsimple.com is worth a look!

Take two ordinary brackets for supporting wooden shelves, rest a few old hardback books on them, and you have a charming, original little shelf.

To keep the book stable, you can place an inverted bracket on its top side, centred between the other two.

By combining a few of these shelves, you can display your favourite small objects, or anything that speaks to you, and create an attractive corner with personality and a retro feel!
