Solve your storage<br />
problems with a versatile<br />
shelf that creates a<br />
display area and clears<br />
away clutter.<br />
T<br />
here is never enough<br />
shelf space in children’s<br />
rooms, with books, toys<br />
and lotions always in<br />
need of storage. This<br />
practical and cute shelf<br />
created by BUCO couldn’t be easier,<br />
quicker or more budget-friendly<br />
to put together. Whether for a<br />
kitchen, to store your spices and<br />
condiments, for bathroom hand<br />
towels and toiletries or a convenient<br />
display area in your baby room, this<br />
shelf hits the mark.<br />
You will need<br />
• SA pine cut to the following sizes<br />
2 pieces cut to 125mm x 80mm x<br />
22mm for the sides<br />
1 base board cut to 560mm x<br />
80mm x 22mm<br />
1 backboard cut to 560mm x<br />
100mm x 22mm<br />
1 strip cut to 603mm x 22mm x<br />
15mm (you can also use a dowel<br />
stick for a round finish)<br />
• Nail gun or staple gun<br />
• Semi clout nails for attachment<br />
• Wood glue<br />
• Sanding block<br />
• Crafters acrylic in a colour of<br />
your choice - we used Mystic<br />
How to<br />
1. Cut the wood to size.<br />
2. Sand it lightly with the<br />
sanding block to ensure it is<br />
smooth.<br />
3. Using the wood glue,<br />
assemble the wood to form<br />
the shelf by attaching the sides<br />
to the backboard. Attach the<br />
base, and the strip in front.<br />
Once the glue is dry, use the<br />
nail or staple gun to bind the<br />
shelf together.<br />
4. Paint it in your desired colour.<br />
5. Measure evenly spaced<br />
locations on the backboard<br />
where the shelf must be<br />
screwed to the wall. Using a<br />
drill, attach it to the wall.<br />
