A good-looking shelf is always a great idea, when it’s a DIY round wall shelf it’s an excellent idea!

This project turned out so good and it’s really simple to make. I think it can be a great Christmas present because no one said no to a shelf ever. Shelves would never go under appreciated! You can read the full tutorial here or watch a video version along other 5 amazing DIY gifts from wood that you can make for your loved ones this Christmas.

Measure the length and placement of the shelf. Cut 1×4″ to length. I placed mine at 1/3 from the bottom of the circle. The best part about it – you can’t go wrong and either way it will work!

Drill holes for screws all the way through the circle.

Take wood glue and attach 1×4″ to the circle. Use clamps to secure positioning.

Flip it over and add screws from behind. 

Let it dry and apply a coat of stain to the top and paint the bottom, or leave it as it is. It’s so customizable to fit any place in your home. I also used a conditioner before I stained the top part.

Paint the bottom of the shelf.

    Great idea, beautiful shelf. We have someone near us that makes serving trays from the shelf, he just adds handles to it. It can also be used in the bathroom or bedroom to hold your items.
