How to Use Baskets on Walls as Bookshelves
- 1). Lay out your baskets on the floor in the shape that you want to mount them onto the wall.
- 2). Cut a board to a length equal that of the bottom of your arrangement of baskets. Be sure that the board is wide enough to support the width of the baskets.
- 3). Mount steel L-shaped brackets onto the board by screwing them into the bottom of the board with a drill or screw gun. To determine where to put the L-shaped brackets, locate the studs in the wall and place the L-shaped brackets so that you can screw them directly into the studs.
- 4). Mount the board onto the wall by screwing through the L-shaped brackets and into the studs with 3-inch-long screws. Ensure that the board is level by measuring from the floor up to the board at both ends.
- 5). Set the baskets on top of the board.
- 6). Secure the baskets to the board by tapping small nails down through the bottoms of the baskets and into the board.
- 7). Put your books into the baskets.
