Pin this for later!<\/strong><\/p>\n Contents<\/p> Place your paper on the floor and your box shelves above it. Using a pencil or pen, trace the outside of the box. Make sure that it is dark enough for you to see it when you cut it out.<\/p>\n I would suggest for you to draw each box separately and not within the bigger box. This will help you envision what your boxes will look like when you put them up on the wall.<\/p>\n Once you are done tracing the outside of the box, cut them out.<\/p>\n Take the painter’s tape and tape your paper on the wall you want to put your box shelves. Using this type of tape will allow you to remove it without affecting the paint.<\/p>\n I just placed them on the wall to see what I like best and played around with the height, the formations, and how close they are with each other.<\/p>\n Option 1:<\/p>\n Option 2:<\/p>\n Last, but not least, option 3:<\/p>\n At the end, I decided to go with option 2. The others are nice to but I quite like this one as my bathroom decor.<\/p>\n Once I am happy with the formation, height, and the other details of the boxes, I took out the level tool to check that the boxes are straight. I only measured the top line of each of the paper.<\/p>\n One of them was not straight so I adjusted it to make it level.<\/p>\n I took a measuring tape (you can also use a ruler) to measure the distance of the hole at the back of the box shelves. There were two measurements, one was from the top of the box, and the other from the side. This way, it would be accurate when I mark them on the paper taped to the wall.<\/p>\n Do not take it for granted that each of the holes behind the boxes are the same. Measure and check it to make sure that you have the exact measurements. It is always safe to double and triple check these measurements.<\/p>\n Similarly to step four, check your markings with the level tool to ensure that the holes are leveled as well. This will be really important when you’re putting in the nails. They need to be straight.<\/p>\n The final and probably most important step is to nail (in our case, we used screws and anchors as the nail hooks could not hold them up due to a weird angle) where you marked and hang up your shelves. Your bathroom decor is now complete. Just add whatever trinkets you have or buy to the shelves and you are done. Two of the items we displayed were gifts so I only spent $2 for the little succulent at a Daiso store near us.<\/p>\n Thank you for reading and going through this tutorial with me. I hope this helps you in hanging your own shelves.
