If you love the idea of a free library -- where strangers can take or leave a book and find a small slice of delight as they walk past your home -- you can establish one with this DIY hanging shelf.
From the Madisyn at the Free People blog, the DIY hanging shelf has a natural look to it as it's triangular shape is made out of tree branches. You will need materials such as twine, yarn, embroidery floss, copper string, feathers, a doily, scissors and nine branches in total. The craft will require some patience as well, but the end product is well worth it. The feathers and doily are just decorative touches, so you can easily customize yours to give it the look you want.
