How to make a DIY BOOKSHELF|| Home Office or Homeschool Room||Step by Step Tutorial

Today's video shows how to make a DIY bookshelf for your home office or homeschool room. This DIY project can be done in a weekend. Having one large simple bookshelf instead of many smaller bookshelves is a great way to organize your home. Our tutorial will show you how to build a bookcase and Do-It-Yourself rather than buying a bookshelf from the store. You can use wood and stain to create this bookcase in your home. Let Pink Tool Girl help you with creating a customized bookshelf for your home decor.

Do you like stain or paint better?

Finally something simple...All other videos are too technical and require too many tools,cuts and ripping boards.

What a wonderful idea!! I, myself prefer the wood grain if I have a choice. My father worked a lot with wood and built dozens of items (including the log house we live in). I guess that is where my leaning towards the wood grain comes from!!

[@Pinktoolgirl]

That is awesome!

[@ortallevitan4586]

truly incredible! I llove the end result and this is wayyyy prettier than anything you could find at a store

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Thanks so much.

[@RionLyle]

Thanks! So funny that good bookshelves are so hard to buy. DIY for the win :)

[@bethvargo1933]

[@Pinktoolgirl]

[@DavidGuzman-yj3xk]

What a pleasant video have a wonderful day!!!

[@RochelleCheever]

I love to both staining & painting!

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Yes, they each have their place.

[@sharondreskler2920]

Those turned out sooo nice!! Great job!!

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Thank you!! 😊

Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves th-cam.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

Loved the little corner layout

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Thank you! The shelf has been a much needed solution to the room.

[@albertobarraza3880]

[@karenxuan2666]

Really inspirational! What are the wood you used?

[@smitaandshaileshshirole2551]

I am new to DIY projects. This will be my first project. Can you help me with the shopping list? What size planks will I need?

[@RachelSmets]

This looks great! You’re so handy and creative, I wish I had some of that too.

[@Pinktoolgirl]

I'm sure it is in you, you just have to exercise that muscle! You can do it!

[@javierpo4321]

Vaya mojón de estantería...

[@petsmorocco]

good job . Well done

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Thank you!

[@andyvargo9076]

I would go with stain also

[@Azoulay1]

Good 👍 👍 👍 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯

[@hotmesshomeschool3270]

What size boards did you use?? We are a homeschool family and a book addict over here.

[@Pinktoolgirl]

We used 2x10 so most books fit nicely. Being a homeschool family, you know you can sometimes get the random oversized map or speciality book so I stack both vertically and horizontally which works nicely.

[@bensonandyou]

How to make bookshelf stand up, not falling down away from the wall? Did you nail down to the wall?

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Yes- we used several brackets to brace it against the wall.

[@imethan-youtubetips1770]

10:54 you did a great job. I'm also a small creator 😅

[@Pinktoolgirl]

Hilarious, thanks!

[@nadegetv8309]

What type of wood is that? And where to buy it please

[@Pinktoolgirl]

It was pine and it was standard 2" x 8" lumber that can be found at any lumber store.

[@ruthbaldwin4341]

I don't see the lift in the description like the video says...

[@kotteeswaranmassmageshwar7625]

Very fine. Mom

[@kennethnichols7207]

What, you don't like wood grain? eck! :) I love wood grain. I've done both paint and stain. I prefer stain by far, but there is a neat look you can get if you use a light paint, where the wood grain still comes through.

[@Pinktoolgirl]

I typically prefer paint but we are still learning about stain. This went great so we may grow towards that direction.

[@enderbygloria9187]

how hard is this info please thanks so much

[@rRichmoo7]

This is how NOT to do it unless you like poisoning your family with chemicals. LOL

[@cheryl_the_horsechick]

You did not show what you did at he bottom with the base boards sticking out. Not flush with the wall. How did you anchor side boards o the wall? Guess I gave up watch again.

[@batman6936]

Dude has his tool belt on backwards..lol

[@nannettebattista3047]

I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
