Simple Wooden Thin Wall Bookshelf

Pin It

My daughter needed a small bookshelf for her DVDs and smaller books.  We made this out of 1x2s to make it flush enough to fit right behind her door.  Her room is still a work in progress since I put in the hardwood floors last year, but I think it is obvious her favorite colors are purple and pink.  Don't you?

All you need to build this is 4 - 1x2x8 strips.

Cut 12 pieces of 1x2 - 24"

Cut 2 pieces of 1x2 - 36"

Add a piece of 1x2 to two other pieces in the shape of a Z.  See picture below.

Build three of the Z shaped shelves and secure to the side pieces, equally spaced (about 12").

Then add the front brace to keep the books and DVDs in place.
