Instructions
In order to elegantly round off the corners of the shelf later, first draw a curve with a pencil on the top two corners of both wooden boards. Then carefully cut these out with a jigsaw.
To ensure that there are no splinters and that the edges are pleasantly smooth, sand the processed areas with a hand sander.
Place three BEKVÄM spice racks on a wooden board and attach them with assembly glue. Make sure that the shelves on both wooden boards are positioned at exactly the same height.
As soon as the glue has dried, screw the shelves on the back with two screws per shelf (a total of six screws per board).
Paint the two halves of the shelf in the color of your choice. For an even result, we recommend two coats of paint. Allow each layer to dry thoroughly.
Apply a generous amount of assembly glue to the back of one of the two wooden boards. Place the other wooden board exactly on top so that both sides are connected. Fix the boards with screw clamps or weigh them down until the glue dries completely.
Attach the small wooden board to the bottom of the shelf with mounting adhesive and screw it in place with the remaining screws for extra stability.
Finally, screw the furniture casters to the underside of the shelf. Your individual kitchen shelf is now ready for use!
Your DIY kitchen shelf is ready!
With this IKEA hack you have not only created a space-saving and practical piece of furniture, but also an individual design highlight for your kitchen. Whether as a spice rack, for coffee cups or small kitchen helpers – your new shelf is a real all-rounder and adapts flexibly to your needs.
The best thing about it: It can be easily expanded or redesigned if necessary. There are no limits to your creativity!
