DIY Triangle Shelf With Hooks
These DIY triangle shelves are great for keeping a small space organized & cute! Now I can add these cute shelves to my finished DIY projects!
What You’ll Need for DIY Triangle Shelf
Tools
- Miter Saw
- Nail Gun
- Sander/Sandpaper
- Tape Measure
Materials
- (1) 1 x 5 x 6′ Pine
- Wood Glue
- 1″ Brad Nails
- Wood Stain or paint
- Screw Hooks
How To Make A Triangle Floating Shelf :
1. Set your miter saw to a 30-degree angle
2. Cut the very tip off your board so you have a 30-degree angle, flip your board & cut again 12″ down.
3. Repeat this until you have 3 pieces that are 12″ long with 30-degree cuts on each end.
4. Set up your triangle, glue & nail together.
5. Once you have your triangle put together, measure where you want your shelf to be. Cut another piece with 30 degree angles that size.
6. Next, glue & nail shelf into place.
7. Screw hooks into the bottom of the shelf (mine are approx 2″ apart), to make this quicker you can drill a pilot hole. Take out screw hooks (replace after staining is complete)
8. Sand out all rough edges & the entire shelf to prepare for staining.
9. Pick your favorite stain & stain!
**You can add your favorite hanging hardware but I’ve just used a nail/screw in the wall with hanging it in the top angle**
This is a highly customizable DIY that can be painted instead of stained, easily made to any size & you can even add a shelf to the interior by measuring and cutting another piece with 30-degree angles again. We even added some flat lego pieces to a few shelves that are perfect for displaying my son’s favorite lego figurines or little creations he makes & would like to display! I like to order LEGO-compatible baseplates from Amazon, for DIYs like this & cut them down to size.

Nice looking shelves. I make triangle flag frames/boxes. Same process. Angles are a little different. As long as the angles equal to 90 everything will fit.
