Materials:
- 1'X2' Boards- I got mine at Home Depot. They were in the shelf section. They were already white so I loved that I didn't have to do any painting. Each was $4.
- Rope- I got mine from Joann's in the home decor section. I believe it was 3/4". It came in a package and was about $13 for the whole pack.
- Cleats- Also from Home Depot. These ones are about 6". $3 each.
- Drill and drill bit the size you want. We did ours 1".
You'll probably do some adjusting based on how you want yours to look.
These are just general instructions. I won't get too specific. If you have questions about how we did ours, please ask!
Drill a hole at each corner. I made them about an inch from each side. Slip the rope through and tie a knot at the bottoms
Drill the cleats into the wall. and hang the shelves by the rope. You can just lay it over the cleats or you can do like we did and wrap it around a few times. Mostly we did that because our rope was too long. It ended up making it a little more stable so it doesn't sway so much. We also considered putting something sticky on the back and attaching it to the wall so it wouldn't move around, but with the way we tied the rope, we decided it wasn't a big deal.
And that's it!!!
