Materials: Ikea Expedit shelves, 12inch square canvas, hardware
Description: What You Need:
1.) 12 inch square canvases.
2.) 2 eye hooks for every canvas.
3.) 2 hooks for every canvas.
How To Make It:
1.) Measure 1 inch from the left and right edges of the top of each canvas. Make a mark.
2.) Screw in the eye hooks in where you just marked.
3.) Repeat for each canvas.
4.) Hold the canvas up to the Expedit cubby. Once centered, mark the holes about 1/2 inch from the front of the bookcase, so the canvas sits in a little.
5.) Screw the hooks into the bookcase. Be sure they face out.
6.) Hang canvases. Done!

I like that you thought outside the 'box' for this project. The canvas offers tons of creative options for anyone to splash color, or not. I also like the space around the canvas as the door looks like it's floating. Great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Donna in that the canvas offers a way to add some colour if you wish (I rather like the white). I also like the space around the canvas, it allows for you to be able to lift the canvas to reach behind. Very creative and simple hack. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThis is really a fun project and the work you have done that is really worth admirable. Many thanks for this easy tutorial.
