Bent Nail Bookshelves

The Movement Bookcase

This whimsical bookshelf is a DIY project using long bent nails that are no longer wanted. A bit of paint and some doll feet and hands will create the “arms and legs” of the book holders. The nails are then attached to a backing board. The long skinny limbs can be adjusted so that they look like they are supporting books or other objects.

The result is simple and fun. It will surely bring a smile to bibliophiles. The Movement Bookcase idea was created by Samulnoli.
