Wooden Black Shelf

Hello all my fellow DIYers! Hope you all are having a pleasant night. I am sorry for the delay of recent posts. I have been super busy getting stuff taken care of for teacher's college and around my house. Anyway, tonight's craft is just a black shelf and it's super easy to do. This would be a good thing for a dorm room or if you just need a little extra storage shelf in a room.

Things you need:
- a piece of wood (mine is approx. 10-12" long)
-black paint
-varnish
-yarn
-little silver screw in loops

Step 1:
Sand any rough edges of the piece of wood and then wipe it down. Next paint it black or whatever color you want it to be. I just used folk art paint.

Step 2:
Once the paint is dry, apply a coat of varnish to it. I put a couple coats on it just to give it an extra shine and it adds to the protection of the wood. Once this is dry, then you can add the little silver loops to each end of the front of the wood. Make sure you buy the ones that are nearly closed, not the bigger gold ones that are not closed in a loop at all. (See picture if you are confused)

Step 3: Once you have the loops place on the front of either end, place two more in the wall where you want the shelf to hang. Once this is done, string the yarn through the first loop on the wall and tie it to loop on the shelf on the same side. Repeat this for the other side. Make sure they are tight enough that the shelf stand at a 90 degree angle to the wall. Enjoy!
