# [Fun DIY Crafts: Shutter Shelf [VIDEO]](https://restore.tchabitat.org/blog/shutter-shelf-diy)

 Written by [ReStore Staff](https://restore.tchabitat.org/blog/author/restore-staff) | 3:27 PM on November 29, 2016

It is easy to make a fun and functional shelf out of an old shutter, shelf brackets, and some hooks — and everything you need for this project can be purchased at the Twin Cities Habit ReStore for less than $15!

ReStore's Jan Hagerman demonstrates the [DIY craft project](https://restore.tchabitat.org/restorediy) in this edition of ReStoration Corner.

## Shutters

The shutters are easy to prepare. Take off all the hardware, paint with a fun color, then screw the shutter back together so it's rigid. 

## Shelf Brackets

You treat the shelf brackets the same way. [Paint them a fun color.](https://restore.tchabitat.org/blog/how-to-make-your-own-chalk-paint-video)

## Hooks

For the hooks, you can use vintage doorknobs, modern hooks, even wrought iron.

## Finishing Touches

Attach the shutters to the shelf supports at a right angle to form the shelf. Add the hooks, and you're ready to hang leashes, bathrobes, or anything else.
