Some of these use recycled materials, which makes them cheap and that’s our favorite kind of DIY. Others are knock-offs, another DIY that we love. Some of them are so easy that you can build them from scratch. From pallets and ladders to ropes and wine crates, there is a bookshelf in here for everyone. Have an old ladder? You could have yourself a free bookshelf with just a few nails and hammer. Flipping the ladder on it’s side, it acts as a horizontal shelf, whereby the two side poles support the books, and the rungs act as built in book ends. The older the wood, the better. This will surely transform any room into a vintage-classic space!
As you will see in this awesome round-up – Almost anything you can think of can be recycled and reused for another purpose. When it comes to bookshelves, anything is possible. Some scrap metal, old wood, trunks, bricks, you name it, can all be stylishly used to create a brand new vintage bookshelf. If you have loads of books or even if you have only a few and want to display them nicely, check out this great collection here:
