Open and closed shelves on the wall	Wall shelves can be designed, for example, with glass or without it

Making a simple wooden shelf

Tree is the most convenient material for work. Wooden shelves are simple, complex shape, open and closed, vertical, horizontal and angular. Taking the basic option as the basis, you can assemble the shelf of several modules and give it the most incredible appearance. In order for the product for a long time, it should be properly choosing wood: the boards must be perfectly smooth, completely dry, without cracks, emptiness and mold traces.

In the process of assembly, you will need:

• hacksaw;
• drill;
• building level;
• pencil and ruler;
• boards with a thickness of 16 mm;
• morilka;
• wood varnish;
• schlifmashinka;
• self-tapping screws, brackets, dowels.

As an example, a simple rectangular shelf is 250 mm wide, 300 mm high and 1100 mm long.

Step 1. Marking

The boards are placed on the table and tolerate measurements from the drawing. The height of the side walls should be 268 mm, as they will be located between the upper and lower part: the height of the wall + the thickness of the board x 2 \u003d 300 mm.

Step 2. Cut Boards

If the markup accurately corresponds to the scheme, you can start cutting. It is best to use an electrolovka for this, then cuts are perfectly smooth and neat. There should be 2 long blanks and 2 short.

Step 3. Processing of blanks

Before proceeding with the assembly, each workpiece needs to be stolen, covered with a mourn and varnish. If the shelf is planned to simply paint, the workpieces are processed - and the service life increases, and the paint is smoother.

Step 4. Build Product

The lower board is placed on a flat surface. From the end of the workpiece retreating 8 mm and spend 2 smooth lines parallel to cuts. Now on these lines, you need to mark two points at a distance of 5 cm from the edge, and drill holes there under the self-tapping screw. With the top blank, they do the same. When all the holes are ready, side blanks are installed on the lower board and twist the screws. From above apply the second board and also fix the side walls with self-drawing.

At the end of the side walls, the brackets are fixed, the holes under the dowel drill in the wall, the screws are inserted and tightened so that they performed about 5 mm. Dowels must be located strictly horizontally, so before drilling is planned with a level. Now it remains only to push the brackets on the fasteners and hang the shelf. If you wish, the rear wall of the product can be scored by a piece of plywood, and in front of inserting glass.

In order for such a simple shelf to become more original, you can replace one side wall to replace the vulgar branch. To do this, choose a smooth branch with a diameter of about 7-8 cm with a smooth clean bark, scamped a piece of 28 cm long, cut off all side processes. Chock is treated with primer, dried and covered with varnish. Corah does not need to be removed. After drying the varnish, the blank is inserted between the upper and lower board and firmly fastened with self-draws.

Based on this drawing, you can make various variations of wall shelves. For example, reduce the length of up to 400 mm and produce a 3-4 block immediately. Then install them on each other in the chess and secure with the help of metal plates. Or just fasten them on the wall separately, placing a short distance from each other.

Often, to save place the shelves are made by corner, and they can be installed in both the inner and external corner.

Billets are made according to the scheme described above, only the upper and lower board consist of two elements, with cut at the angle of the ends. The process of manufacturing such a shelf is simple enough:

• halves of the top board are missing on the ends with glue and clamp with clamps;
• repeat the same actions with the bottom board;
• when the adhesive dry, all the blanks are covered with a mourn or ground;
• on the upper and lower billet, the fastening lines and holes are drilled;
• paste the side walls and fix them with self-draws.

Wall-mounted materials	Advantages and disadvantages
Tree: plywood, chipboard, MDF and others	With this material, it is relatively easy to work, it looks beautiful, naturally and effectively, its service life is quite large, especially if you pre-process
Plastic	This material is the most versatile, it can simulate both a tree and a stone, removing their shortcomings.
Metal	Such wall shelves will be very durable, reliable and durable, but in the classic interior they will fit with difficulty. In addition, corrosion can be a problem, so special processing and conditions will be required for metal products.
Glass	Transparent wall shelves will create an atmosphere of lightness and coziness in the house. Of course, make it with your own hands a glass design will be difficult, but if you, nevertheless, decide to independently do all the work, then with glass will have to work quite a long time and very carefully, especially if various cuts are planned in the shelves design

Original shelves for books

Shelves of non-standard form are becoming increasingly demand, so if you wish, you can try to collect something original. For example, a bookshelf is used in the form of a simplified labyrinth.

For the manufacture you will need:

• cutting board with a thickness of 20 mm;
• carpentry glue;
• clamps;
• roulette;
• hacksaw;
• stuslo;
• sander;
• morilka;
• furniture screws, screws;
• decorative police holders.

If everything is necessary, you can start making the shelf.

Step 1. Marking

On the prepared boards with a pencil for a ruler, the cutting lines mark. Measurements should be transferred very carefully, since all horizontal parts have different lengths.

Step 2. Trimming blanks

The ends of each workpiece are cut at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees. The scheme indicates the first option, so the stub will need for dipping. It is very important to correctly install a stouch on the board so that the sections are symmetrical. If the ends should not be squeeed, fold the shelf will not work.

Step 3. Build Design

The ends of the parts are smeared with glue, tightly compressed and additionally fixed with furniture screws with a slot. Conventional self-tapping screws are not suitable. Each joint will require at least 2 screws. Both parts of the shelves are applied to the wall, exhibit in terms of the level and mark the attachment point pencil. After that, the holes are drilled under the dowel, screw the brackets to the shelf and hang design on the wall. Instead of brackets, the decorative pollocks "Pelican" are often used.

Hinged shelf on belts

If a decorative shelf is required for small items, the following option is perfect - a board hanging on the belts.

For the manufacture of the shelf it will be necessary:

• 2 edged boards 300x750 mm, 30 mm thick;
• 4 leather belt for 75 cm long;
• 4 long screws with plastic dowels;
• 4 short self-pressing;
• building level;
• line;
• sharp knife;
• drill.

Step 1. Preparation of belts

Belts should be perfectly smooth, so if necessary, they are cut by a knife. Each belt is folded in half, the ends pressed to the table, retreat from the edge of 2 cm and drill a trunk of a neat through hole. The same makes the remaining three.

Step 2. Fastening belts to the wall

On the wall using a level, two points are determined at a distance of 60 cm. Drill holes and plastic dowels are inserted. Folded in half the belt is applied to one of the holes and fix the long screw - it turns out a big loop on the wall. Nearby attach another such loop.

Step 3. Installing Shelves

In the loop, they focus a stinking board and align her horizontally. So that the shelf does not move, adjacent to the wall of the belt parts at the board itself are screwed with short screws. Now, under this shelf, one more one is suspended, repeating the above-described steps. As a result, it turns out a light and neat bunk shelf. If you wish, you can add another 1-2 tier.

For the manufacture of the shelves described above, it is not only a tree, but also to Paneur, as well as sheets of LDSP. The latter option is used most often because LDSP is low weight, high strength, practicality and durability. When assembling the shelves from this material, all sections are necessarily sealed with a melamine edge under the color of the sheet.

Making a glass shelf

Glass shelves fit harmoniously into any interior, and the installation process does not take much time. To work, you will need:

• strained glass;
• a hammer;
• electric drill;
• building level;
• aluminum profile;
• dowels;
• adhesive tape;
• line;
• pencil.

Not everyone knows how to cut the glass correctly, and therefore the cutting of the billets is better to order in the workshop. There will also be performed grinding and polishing the edges so that when installing the shelf does not cut down about sharp edges. Everything else can be done independently.

Step 1. Marking under the fasteners

The site of the wall, where the shelf will hang, must be as much as possible. With the help of the construction level on the wall, the horizontal line is carried out with a pencil. The lines mark the location of fasteners, drill holes.

Step 2. Installing Profiles

Aluminum profile is applied to the surface of the wall and check the matches of fasteners. Then stroke into the holes of the dowels, they are styled with one screw profile and level it horizontally. After that, the rest of the screws are twisted.

Instead of drill insert screw bracket screwing the bracket screw. Leave the bracket screw to perform from the wall. Check the position.

Step 3. Fastening Shelves

The rear edge of the glass shelf is closed with adhesive tape. You can use individual strips from the tape, having them there, where the glass will touch the screws of the screws. The shelf is inserted into the profile, the edges of the profile are closed with protective caps. If two shelves come into contact with the sides, their edges are fastened with metal fittings.

If there is free time and the desire of experimentation, you can create a very unusual shelves on the wall of girlfriend. For example, an angular shelf of plastic pipes look original. For its manufacture, you will need segments of sewer pipes and corner bits. The shelf wall is fastened with shuruses with dowels.

Old suitcases and diplomats can also become excellent wall shelves. To do this, they are cut into altitude to half, close the back of the plywood and fix on the wall with the help of screws or on the brackets.

Retractable boxes from unnecessary bedside tables will completely fit for the manufacture of shelves. To give them an elegant look, the boxes should be carefully taken, brew and paint in bright colors. Then they lean them with the rear wall to the surface, mark the fastening sites and drill holes for them. Even one such shelf looks very original, and the composition of 2-3 drawers will become a real decoration.
