Stuff you going to need:
- Book
- Good sized "L" Bracket
- Carpet Knife
- Pen
- Small wood screws (of the flat headed variety)
- Large wood screws
- Tape Measure or Ruler
- Glue
- A Stack of Books for Weight
Use books you don't mind never reading again!
Measure the half way point, make a mark, set down your bracket, draw an outline, measure again, cut out a hole deep enough that the bracket will set flush. You are doing this to the back or bottom of the book, the part that will be visible in the finished product
Use your knife to make a notch for the "L" bracket so the book can sit flush against the wall
Place your small wood screws to secure the "L" bracket in place, and one on either side toward the edges of the book to secure the pages of book together. Hanging the bracket over the edge of a desk, chair, or counter is helpful. The pages will try to rise up the screw as you insert it, so make sure you're putting some pressure on them to keep them in line. If this part is not done correctly the end result will show the pages as wavy and will tip off the viewer that something is amiss. The picture shows me using a cordless drill, but I found that doing it by hand was much more effective.
Now use a large wood screw to attach the whole mess to the wall.
Stack some books on it to cover your handiwork. Make sure you put enough books to cover the bracket.
