Happy Friday!

Sometimes I want to make something without turning it into a big production. A small wall shelf is a great weekend project, especially when you can use pieces you already have.

Before heading to the store, take a look through your leftover wood or that old furniture you’ve been saving for parts. You might have the makings of one of these!

Scrap Wood Jewelry Shelf​
Even small leftover pieces can earn their keep. This little shelf gives jewelry a handy place to hang.

Hanging Rope Shelf​
My friend Angie shared this simple shelf using a wood plank and rope. It’s a good choice when you’re looking for a quick project.

Chair Seat Wall Shelf​
An old chair seat might not look like shelf material at first. This $2 chair had plenty of useful parts left in it!

Narrow Wall Shelf with DIY Corbels​
I saved a piece of a desk top and made my own brackets for this narrow shelf. Another reason I have trouble throwing scraps away!

Chair Back Wall Shelf​
Remember that $2 chair? The back became a shelf, too. Getting two projects from one find makes me happy.
