Cheap Shelves

Simple shelves

I felt like making some shelves! So I cut up some card board boxes - took off the front and back panels, trimmed them down to size, spray painted the inside white and the outside black and then hot glued ribbon around the edge (so you can't see the rough cardboard bits). They are hung up by balancing on nails - sturdier than I expected but you need to make sure the weight is evenly distributed!
