DIY Floating Shelves These wooden shelves are not only functional but they’re beautiful as well. The project is so easy and requires very few supplies. These may just be the most frugal shelves ever and they’re great for any décor. You just need wood, which you can buy or use from leftover projects. The plywood shelves lay on top of pine boards to create a floating look but they’re very sturdy. Seriously, you can keep books or other heavy items on these with no worries of falling. Just be sure that you find a stud when you install your base boards for extra security. Rustic Bathroom Shelves These bathroom shelves are absolutely gorgeous and they’re really easy to create. If you have an old storage system above the toilet, it may be time for an upgrade and these little shelves are the perfect décor for any bathroom. They install like floating shelves and they are reinforced for added strength. Plus, they are very country and rustic looking and give you loads of storage space. They’re absolutely perfect for the bathroom or any little nook that you may have where you need a little storage space. The best thing is that they’re frugal and take very few materials to build. Branch Shelves We absolutely adore this branch shelf. It’s beautiful, practical, and oh-so-frugal all at the same time. You will need to find branches of course that will work for creating a shelving unit. Get four of the same size and make sure to cut them evenly. Add smaller branches to give you more security and to help hold the shelves level. Then just add your shelving, which you can make yourself out of plywood or you could be creative and use light stones or cut off pieces of stumps. The possibilities with this one are endless and there’s no limit to what you can create when you get started. Reclaimed Wood Shelves The great thing about creating shelving is you don’t have to spend a lot of money. In fact, you may not have to spend any money at all. These floating shelves are made with reclaimed wood so there’s no cost at all involved in making them if you have the right supplies on hand. The best thing about these? They have drawers! You can store so many office supplies and other items in the drawers that are completely hidden from view. Imagine the storage that three or four of these would give you. They’re really easy to build, too. You can create several in just one day. $10 Hanging Bathroom Shelf This adorable shelf is perfect for small bathrooms and you can make it for just $10. Actually, you can make it for even less than that if you have a couple of pine or whitewood boards and some rope. You’ll need a board for the shelves and one to build the frame, both about eight feet long. You also need a saw and a few other tools, some rope, and Gorilla wood glue. It comes together beautifully and is perfect for anywhere that you need a little something but you don’t want to build an entire shelving unit. And for 10 bucks, you just can’t beat the price. Nursery Room Bookshelves You could build this great shelving unit in the nursery to hold those wonderful nursery rhymes or just anywhere in the house that you need it. As beautiful and complicated as it looks, it really won’t take you long at all to put it together and you don’t need as many supplies as you may think. You will need about five 10 foot boards and another five 6 foot boards
