How To Make An Invisible Bookshelf (Without Ruining A Book!)

Step 9:

Now you can stack them (the books)! It is a bit wobbly sometimes, make sure they are centered to avoid any mishaps. It might be better to have two brackets, but then again, studs aren't all that close to each other which is why (even though the brilliant idea hit me) I didn't attempt it.
TADA! Invisible bookshelf, and no book was harmed! The velcro comes off if you want it to, just pull the tab and the glue deactivates itself. And the book has no trouble closing all the way either, just in case you were wondering!

a thin board with three brackets with one on the stud would take care of the problem. it doesnt take much to support it

That's an awesome idea, I seem to look over simple fixes and that would definitely be a simple one! Thank you!

Great Instructable, CaitlynLAG! I especially like your hint about placing the screw behind the bit, and looking to see if you see the threads. It seems really obvious to me now! One suggestion: please remedy your typo in the last step: it should read "It might be better to have TWO brackets..." (Using the proper form of to/too/two will clear up that suggestion for your readers.) Again, thanks for sharing!

Yes! I've been mreaning to fix that, I found it last night, but for some reason I can't edit on this (I've got an iPad and it won't load) so I need to find a computer soon to fix that!
Then again, I also had to fix the tile, and I typed "bookahelf" instead of "bookshelf" the first time XD
Thanks for commenting and taking the time to look! Glad you found it interesting! :D
