www.angelibebe.com Opening: A Customizable Kids Bookshelf with Storage Bins! Looking for a way to organize your child's books and toys while adding a touch of style to their room? This DIY bookshelf with storage bins is the perfect solution. It's customizable to fit your space and needs, relatively simple to build, and a great way to keep things tidy. Let's get started!
Step 1: Planning and Materials Before you start building, you need to plan your bookshelf. Consider the available space, the desired height and width, and the number of storage bins you want to include. Once you have a plan, gather the following materials: Wood (plywood, MDF, or solid wood) for the bookshelf structure Storage bins (fabric, plastic, or wicker) Screws or nails Wood glue Sandpaper Primer and paint (optional) Measuring tape Pencil Saw Drill Clamps
Step 2: Cutting the Wood Based on your plan, cut the wood pieces for the bookshelf. You'll need pieces for the sides, top, bottom, and shelves. Make sure to measure accurately and cut straight lines for a professional finish. If you're using plywood or MDF, consider having the lumber yard cut the pieces for you. This will save you time and effort.
Step 3: Assembling the Bookshelf Structure Now it's time to assemble the bookshelf. Start by attaching the sides to the bottom piece using wood glue and screws. Clamp the pieces together until the glue dries. Then, attach the top piece in the same way. Make sure the structure is square before proceeding.
Step 4: Adding Shelves Determine the placement of your shelves based on the size of your books and storage bins. Mark the shelf positions on the sides of the bookshelf. Apply wood glue to the shelf edges and screw them into place. Use clamps to hold the shelves in place while the glue dries. Consider adding a back panel to the bookshelf for added stability.
Step 5: Sanding and Finishing Once the glue is dry, sand all the surfaces of the bookshelf to smooth out any rough edges. Wipe away any dust. If desired, apply a primer and paint the bookshelf in your chosen color. Let the paint dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
Step 6: Adding Storage Bins Choose storage bins that fit snugly into the shelf openings. You may want to add small supports beneath the bins if they don't sit flush with the shelves. If the shelf space is too large for the bins, use extra pieces of wood as dividers.
Conclusion: Enjoy Your Organized Space! You've now built a custom bookshelf with storage bins! This piece will help keep your child's room organized and stylish. Remember to supervise children around furniture, securing the bookshelf to the wall if necessary to prevent tipping. Now sit back and admire your handiwork.
