I bought a side part of the IVAR-shelf (there are different sizes, I used one that's 179x30 cm, 7,50euro). In the local diy-store I bought a back board made of 6mm ply wood in the same size. <br> <br>2. I stuck the two parts together using wood glue and additionally fixed the back board with nails. <br> <br>3. After that, I drilled 4 holes into the sideparts to put in the screws. <br> <br>4. Now it's time to paint the shelf. I used a dark brown. The next step is to mount the shelf at the wall. I used 4 screws (80mm) and 8mm anchors. <br> <br>5. After mounting the shelf to the wall I used 4 metal staves (I don't know if that's the correct word in english, in german it's called 'Metallstife') to keep the wooden blanks. <br> <br>6. For each longboard I plugged a wooden blank diagonally between the metal staves. The blanks are made of ply-wood from the local diy-store (size: 23,4 x 20 x 1,3 cm). I painted the wooden blanks in the same color as the other parts. <br> <br>7. That's it. The boards have a pretty and decorative place at the wall.</p><p>~ Frank, Mainz, Germany</p>

I ended up finding a set of 2 LINNARP glass doors at Ikea on clearance for $14 that sparked my imagination. </p><p></p><p><a name='more'></a></p><p></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDKU5ECOW95X0xaJbTFuqYtHgaXdzVhTSnRyl7Vl3sDb9aC61VsaR-_cenUm6LDj2Kg5nNUJCiVkVRHr4w5Zz_fNk6WQkvc118H5dH41ycisP_00TVLrTBbZbs5rABzHcjvSsb-P2T5M4r/s1600/headboard2-746881.png" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_self" title=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="198" id="blogsy-1319472934041.667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDKU5ECOW95X0xaJbTFuqYtHgaXdzVhTSnRyl7Vl3sDb9aC61VsaR-_cenUm6LDj2Kg5nNUJCiVkVRHr4w5Zz_fNk6WQkvc118H5dH41ycisP_00TVLrTBbZbs5rABzHcjvSsb-P2T5M4r/s320/headboard2-746881.png" width="450"></a></p><p>Now for the Hack: <br/> <br/>1. First you will need to take the glass out of the LINNARP glass door. Please BE CAREFUL, put the masking tape on the glass panels ensuring that the panels are well covered. <br/> <br/>2. Take your mallet and tap the glass so that it shatters. Note: you may want to put a drop cloth down on your floor. I ended up placing a large box underneath to catch any glass shards. <br/> <br/>3. Once the glass is completely removed, be sure to clean any excess glass out of the frame. I used a flat-head screwdriver to get into the crevices of the frame. <br/> <br/>4. Measure out 6 large squares of fabric based on the 3 windows of the frame: 3 for the front, 3 for the backing. <br/> <br/>5. Measure the center of each front facing fabric and sew on your buttons for a "faux" tufted look. <br/> <br/>6. Take your staple gun and staple the 3 front fabric panels to the frame ensuring to leave enough room in the fabric for the batting. <br/> <br/>7. Staple 3 out of the 4 sides of the 3 back panels to the frame of each window, being sure to create a "pocket" for the batting to go in. <br/> <br/>8. Stuff each panel with the batting to the, be sure to not over stuff, otherwise you will need larger "L" brackets to mount the headboard. <br/> <br/>9. Finish stapling the last side of the back fabric to the frame to close off the pocket you left. <br/> <br/>10. Mount the headboard above your bed using "L" brackets from the hardware store. And you are done! <br/> <br/>Total spent: $24 <br/> <br/>LINNARP door - $7 <br/>Fabric - $6 <br/>Buttons - $3 <br/>Ploy-Fil Batting - $5 <br/>"L" Brackets from the hardware store - $3 <br/> <br/>A Step-by-Step video can be found <a href="http://plainjaneissane.com/for-the-home/how-i-created-a-headboard-for-under-25/">here</a>.<br/> <br/>Happy Headboarding! </p><p>~ North Hollywood, CA</p>

I made a little project using sweethome 3D, a free open source program. If someone interested i can give the file. Here the steps: <br> <br>Step 1: Trace the panels with some adhesive tape following the pictures, in order to obtain the different sides of the main container (a box). I found 1 big panel and 4 little, so I had to connect 2 small panels with some junctions to obtain a big panel. If you are lucky you can find 3 big panels. In this case you can build the box more easily because you needn't junctions for attach different shape panels <br>Step 2: Cut the panels following the lines like you can see in the pictures <br>Step 3: Connect all panels using some L junctions (you can find them at the hardware store) <br>Step 4: If you want you can add some panels inside perpendicularly (like in picture) for obtain more stability. <br>Step 5: Fix the capita brackets in the upper panels (like it's a unique hob) <br>Step 6: Make 2 holes for the brackets in the cover of the main box <br>Step 7: Connect the top of the box to the hob ( 2 panels+ 2 capita brackets) <br>Step 8: If you want you can put some glue for the top of the box but the weight is enough heavy for stay still and it's better to leave it free in order to connect cables more easily.</p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkOYENS3EVpw1G5SrQfuBKvLXfNOXvkLkkHv58OPZPV5_1dQN7sNbZQQZfR8eZ12gecGNE4kp4nj8wE54CjgpiaQ8S-V1IaNU2VcpwnY5Wp7nSEDD9PuWv0vJh91-o4Uw5mfWaS3o9O-o/s1600/Ikea+Tofta+Reciclo+ultimato3-710682.png" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="217" id="blogsy-1319471189671.5913" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkOYENS3EVpw1G5SrQfuBKvLXfNOXvkLkkHv58OPZPV5_1dQN7sNbZQQZfR8eZ12gecGNE4kp4nj8wE54CjgpiaQ8S-V1IaNU2VcpwnY5Wp7nSEDD9PuWv0vJh91-o4Uw5mfWaS3o9O-o/s320/Ikea+Tofta+Reciclo+ultimato3-710682.png" width="450"></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsLwkPHu7xzTNjxU6vj7MUUzYmIBfZavqazp5Au_mca12LTar0kx7fIrKmxs0AXVYSZ1fvjANo00t-iuvqvCT03eVsl00S2VrmEzGpvoO2-3ILlMJW6-hO3UzdkFSwdZEgLxrb2xB-49gV/s1600/Schema+montaggio+senza+staffe+mensole+e+gambe+tavolo-712099.png" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="184" id="blogsy-1319471189684.6006" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsLwkPHu7xzTNjxU6vj7MUUzYmIBfZavqazp5Au_mca12LTar0kx7fIrKmxs0AXVYSZ1fvjANo00t-iuvqvCT03eVsl00S2VrmEzGpvoO2-3ILlMJW6-hO3UzdkFSwdZEgLxrb2xB-49gV/s320/Schema+montaggio+senza+staffe+mensole+e+gambe+tavolo-712099.png" width="450"></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3RJAwEtzl25p11-LFD7HBGtN5569ulz8l9pVV6ATWBLDQz-qpd92hDV1nWPIM2WD37uY1T0c0J5ah3Ad-onuLI84Z_HZ4GsXS1oMTCJj6fCXJ1E1Z0TJ23m1-oZjMcK6Finx_H5Ol9G09/s1600/Anta+piccola+segnata+per+il+ritaglio+bordi-712699.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="338" id="blogsy-1319471189629.233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3RJAwEtzl25p11-LFD7HBGtN5569ulz8l9pVV6ATWBLDQz-qpd92hDV1nWPIM2WD37uY1T0c0J5ah3Ad-onuLI84Z_HZ4GsXS1oMTCJj6fCXJ1E1Z0TJ23m1-oZjMcK6Finx_H5Ol9G09/s320/Anta+piccola+segnata+per+il+ritaglio+bordi-712699.jpg" width="450"></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK7A83_HWK2XRsiCdsxREUimhHzFKoRtZYqoAcC5Fuf5M7ElrEaBv8VHSkw3OjU6C1z0ptR2oGNi98Kf-5_WZALeH4kD__b21VtW37oEow5Oujg0CJYLp8wsXlHKEPjduCfcafUrXEgCV8/s1600/Anta+piccola+ritagliata+per+i+bordi+laterali-713417.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="338" id="blogsy-1319471189612.4763" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK7A83_HWK2XRsiCdsxREUimhHzFKoRtZYqoAcC5Fuf5M7ElrEaBv8VHSkw3OjU6C1z0ptR2oGNi98Kf-5_WZALeH4kD__b21VtW37oEow5Oujg0CJYLp8wsXlHKEPjduCfcafUrXEgCV8/s320/Anta+piccola+ritagliata+per+i+bordi+laterali-713417.jpg" width="450"></a></p><p>~ Marcello (dj kad), Bologna - Italy</p>

To compensate for the slope of inside the bowl, cut the traced cardboard a little more than � inch inside what you traced (you might need to trim more later). <br/> <br/>Step 2: I created a sturdy surface for the cardboard to sit on using some wood I had lying around. I hot glued them together and to the bottom of the bowl. You can use anything stackable to create a level surface for the cardboard to sit on. You could also glue things on the walls of the bowl to create a sitting surface. (Optional: if you want to have all your chargers in the bowl, make sure to leave space for them along with the KAPPLA surge protector). <br/> <br/>Step 3: Trace the trimmed cardboard piece onto the NEDDA chair pad (I purchased the 'no design' version) and trim to fit. Once you are satisfied with the overall fit, make the area for the charger cords to fit through. I made a slit in the middle. On the cardboard side I cut out � inch by 1.5 inches. <br/> <br/>Step 4: Hot glue the trimmed NEDDA to your cardboard. Glue a nice amount around your cardboard slot. <br/> <br/>Step 5: I drilled a 1-1/4 inch hole on the side of the bowl for the cords to come out. (Optional: If you don't use the KAPPLA surge protector in the bowl, run your chargers through the hole and use a RABALDER cable cover for a cleaner look. <br/> <br/>I'd love to see various versions!</p><p>~ Jon T., D.C. metro area</p>

I went to a couple of stores to see what they had to offer but after a while I started to wonder how many tables I had to buy before I could get him a "big boy" table. Wandering around at the IKEA workspace department I saw the Vika Artur trestle and had an idea so I ended up buying four "legs" two Amon 23" x 39" and an Amon corner. <br>After a couple of day thinking and measuring I started by shortening the three upper parts 5", or just so you get rid of the old holes, to fit with Vika Amon table top. To lower the legs, and to keep the right angles, I measured 18 1/8" on each corner and cut them. Then I drilled a new hole, for the shelf, 2 1/5" up. The shelf must be made smaller to fit, so the "end parts" have to be shortened 2 7/8" and the "shelf planks" 6 11/16".</p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_88y_VqaK5ExU-2g4Z5TaoonrFNv8MNj2ORi1tFN8WJaJ5LATCXB5V5TTZfnKYt-636fyFerFxzg6M-2OXwo9Dhcr0jSEDe-BShZ3HrhgyWYaOnbFP4ISiZfmWQ7RbWdaITqYFAtXdpfv/s1600/bockar-731863.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_self" title=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="270" id="blogsy-1319469263279.3906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_88y_VqaK5ExU-2g4Z5TaoonrFNv8MNj2ORi1tFN8WJaJ5LATCXB5V5TTZfnKYt-636fyFerFxzg6M-2OXwo9Dhcr0jSEDe-BShZ3HrhgyWYaOnbFP4ISiZfmWQ7RbWdaITqYFAtXdpfv/s320/bockar-731863.jpg" width="450"></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9gY8Xezp84ACtA0ESFPxHaOr8MKTt-wz7pDA8KzC0Iz45zPgvDHHyvsQd3N5s6TMs64G856U9xOO73J7XLSUt71gTIWzF8FNaE3tX2UzBDNIbKLkeoI4PWwGChz4e59z6X__bU4Oe0xz/s1600/oscar-733573.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="270" id="blogsy-1319469263232.4387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9gY8Xezp84ACtA0ESFPxHaOr8MKTt-wz7pDA8KzC0Iz45zPgvDHHyvsQd3N5s6TMs64G856U9xOO73J7XLSUt71gTIWzF8FNaE3tX2UzBDNIbKLkeoI4PWwGChz4e59z6X__bU4Oe0xz/s320/oscar-733573.jpg" width="450"></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT0Y3LM6YgzjpdErYPKi0gMLg9F2bYq_DH3j1g3JRiZ3Np0A7ZAFcpocn7QHuVommFvryBdOnnRvlD7tN7LiQbRapnUlOoR6URHICtug6Lt3U0xMLlT1J1gx9VXIvh-E6Ftkoy-bWKu45c/s1600/up-735129.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="270" id="blogsy-1319469263264.5435" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT0Y3LM6YgzjpdErYPKi0gMLg9F2bYq_DH3j1g3JRiZ3Np0A7ZAFcpocn7QHuVommFvryBdOnnRvlD7tN7LiQbRapnUlOoR6URHICtug6Lt3U0xMLlT1J1gx9VXIvh-E6Ftkoy-bWKu45c/s320/up-735129.jpg" width="450"></a></p><p>The end result is one big table, or two small, that is adjustable from 20" to 29" and I don't have to go shopping for tables any more.</p><p>~ Jonas Bergstrom, Stockholm, Sweden</p>

We have built units on both sides of the fireplace- 3 units on one side and 2 units on the other as recesses were not equal. <br/>1. Choose the leaning angle- remember that bottom shelf will be the deapest and the top one still need to be usable so do not make it to narrow! <br/>2. Taper legs of the frames to the required leaning angle <br/>3. Cut shelves so they can go right through the main post of the frame- each shelf will be different length depending on the leaning angle- do not throw offcuts away as you can use them as holding battens on the wall! <br/>4. Screw the battens on the wall and screw the shelves to them, each shelf is laid on the batten at the wall end and on the frame bracing at the other end, you have to just screw them at the batten end for stability. <br/>5. For smooth look fill the holes in the frame. <br/>6. Paint the shelving in whatever colour you want! Alternatively you can paint shelf components after cutting before fixing to the wall �" this might be easier (lesson for us for the next time) <br/>7. It's all ready! Beautiful ladder shelving which looks like straight from MDF Italia catalogue! </p><p>~ tonika, Liverpool UK</p>

First step : with a metering strip, track on the vase surface a spiral of m.1,00 following your taste. Be creative. </p><p>Second step : unwrap dioder, take the LED strip, pull cm.30 of paper then adhere the strip on the cleaned inner surface of Gurkort ; the end of strip must coincide with the bottom of the vase. Continue until end of strip.
