This was so very easy to make and looks great in our baby's playroom! She has tested it out already by pulling on it to stand up and taking out every book. That shelf isn't going to budge. I think the secret is in the brackets and using wood screws.
Here are two great tutorials on how to make these shelves:
Mama Notes
Raising Olives
Helpful Tip: We bought the rain gutter (10ft) from Home Depot and they cut it into thirds at the store so it fit in our car and we wouldn't have to cut anything when we got home.
EXTENSION: You could spice up these shelves with a little color for older kids. Aliyah is really into putting her mouth on everything so I wanted to leave these white.

Very cool idea, Marcie!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Parker's great-grandma just gave him two HUGE boxes of books and I can't wait until he is able to read them all!
