DIY Cutting Board Shelves
I am going to show you how to turn 10 cutting boards from the Dollar Tree into the cutest little shelf today.
To make this shelf the only things I needed were these 10 bamboo cutting boards and some glue.
Once I had the plastic off I started to build the first box.
I used a good amount of E6000 on each joint. When dried, this will hold the boards together very securely.
I also used a dab of hot glue at the end of each board to hold them in place while the E6000 is drying.
With glue on the first four boards, I placed them into a box shape.
After building the initial box, the additional boxes only needed three sides to join them up.
I used the same process of adding E6000 and several dabs of hot glue to secure each board into place.
Once the next three boards were securely in place, I added the final three to finish my shelf.
After they were all in place I left the structure overnight to make sure the glue had plenty of time to harden.
I am thrilled with how my little shelf turned out.
Once the glue was dry it was sturdy and solid and was perfect to add some height to my décor.

Will add some height, a back, and front door on hinges. I need a bread box and I think this will do it!’ Thank you!
