Lovely DIY Bookends To Dress Up Your Shelves

Hey there book worms! You probably have tons of books in your home, and you have created your own small home library, but sometimes we are faced with the trouble to make them stand upright. In this article I’m going to share with you some Lovely DIY Bookends To Dress Up Your Shelves. They are super easy to make and the projects are great ways to express your creativity and add some personal touch to your living area. The bookends have become so classy and stylish, and they are not only used for holding books anymore, but also to add character to the shelves. They are going to make a big impact because they will keep your books organized and will straighten the shelves that have are looking a little wonky. For most of the projects you will need L-brackets that will keep the books tight on place, and then you have to engage in a little bit of decorating. Check out the ideas that I have collected for you and see which bookend will catch your eye the best!

Well, it seems that the mason jars can work great as bookends as well. For this craft you don’t have to make L-brackets, but instead you have to fill the jars with something heavy, so they won’t slide. The glitter gold spray paint can be used to polish their look. What do you think about the idea?
