Upside Dwon Book Shelf *WOW*

NO BOOKS WILL BE DAMAGED. ALL BOOKS CAN BE TAKEN ON AND OFF AT ALL TIMES.


Wow! This Is A Crazy Cool Project! I Found This On Instructables, So Thank You To Them! Have Fun!


MATERIALS:

• Wood 
• Brackets (L)
• Staple Gun
• Elastic Webbing

STEPS:

1. Measure Your Books, And MAke Sure You Elastic Weebing And Wood Will Do The Trick.
2. Now that you have a length and a width, the next step is to staple gun two pieces of elastic down the middle of the board. I'm going to be suspending 12 books here, so I used just over 14 feet of material for each side.
   
   Start each piece of elastic with the excess facing in. Staple this in place and fold the elastic back over to start running it down the board. Measure out 14 inches, staple it one inch farther and repeat until you get to the other end and fold the excess back inside again before stapling it.

3.  I slid the books in and even the heaviest book was perfectly snug. It turned out that two straps was too much for the smaller books and started to compress them, so I only used the front strap and squished the other strap behind it.





4.Now that you know that the shelf itself is stable, add a couple of brackets to the other side of the board. Then simply screw it into the wall.

Note: This was intended for a short term installation. To make it more permanent, I'd recommend hiding a couple L brackets on the underside.

5.WA-LA!You can leave it as is or go for some more realism by gluing some toys, bookends, or even a fake drink to the bottom of the board to complete the look!

Enjoy!
