Craft Desk Made Easy

Finally I have some time to write a post!!

Many of you have asked me where I got the craft desk for my craft room. Well, I actually made it and it was so simple! So for everyone who has asked here you go!

I looked up and down, left and right for a craft desk/organizer for all my craft things. Most of the ones that I found were either expensive or were going to be after you put all the parts together. I got to thinking, what if I made my own desk with organization. So I started to look for ideas all over the internet, but nothing really caught my eye. Then one night, probably after a mojito, I came up with the plan for my desk, by using two bookcases and a wood plank. I thought that the bookcases would give me enough space for bins or whatever to organize my things and then I would have to top to actually do my work.

Without further to do, here are my directions for making your own craft desk!





Simple DIY Craft Desk


What you'll need:

• 2 bookshelves, in whatever color you choose ( I found mine at Target for pretty cheap)

• 1 wood plank (I used a 2' x 4' size from Lowes)

• Paint or stain 

• Screws and drill

Directions:

1. If needed put together the bookshelves. Leave them standing straight up and down.

2. Lay the wood plank on top of both shelves to see where you need to drill the holes. This can be kind of tough, but I would recommend not putting the screw right near the edge because then you are going to run the risk of splitting the wood.

3. Once you have figured out where the holes need to be, drill the holes through the wood plank. The drill bit size will depend on how big of screws you use. Unfortunately I did not write down the size of screw or bit I used, so I can't tell you what I used.

4.  Paint the wood plank whatever color you wish. I used white because I am going with a navy, coral and white theme in that room.

5. Lastly, assemble your desk in the room (makes it easier than trying to move it). Screw the screws in through the holes that you pre-drilled to attach the wood plank to the top of the bookshelves.

6. Enjoy your newly, home-made craft desk!

It may sound hard but it really isn't! Post any questions that you have and I will answer them! :)
