While intending to diy some beautiful picture ledges at home then the very thing you can do is to recycle the old wooden planks from home to build some free of cost picture frame ledges.
Diy picture frame ledge.
A diy picture ledge is simple to build and you only need to level and hang one object.
This inexpensive project makes it super easy to change out photos and art when the mood strikes.
Previous step next step.
For a hanging solution that doesn t involve a lot of planning a photo ledge is the answer.
For reference here is a finished photo showing where each of the boards go and which fastener screw or nail to use on the back and front.
Measure how long you want your ledge to be and cut all three of your board sizes to that exact length.
Let it dry and sand the putty back to create a smooth surface.
Update it with seasonal decor or as kids grow.
The hole has to be wide enough for the securing screw to fit through.
Glue it to the 3 inch piece of wood as seen in the photo below.
However we are one ample box lighter due to the awesome picture ledge that ash made.
Since our move we still have boxes of pictures frames taking up way too much of our closet space.
It s perfect for a commitment phobe because you can change out the frames or pictures as often as you d like.
You will want to sink these screw heads so use your counter sink bit or a larger bit atop.
Take the picture frame ledge back to your work shop and drill holes where you have marked.
To create the back and bottom of your photo ledge glue and clamp the side of the 1 x 75 board to the edge of the 2 5 x 75 board.
Step 1 attach the 1 4 s to each other.
It s simple to make easy to arrange and looks quite elegant.
Use the spakfilla to putty the screw holes in the timber.
Just sand well the planks remove the splinters paint and stain them to match your interior wall decors and that s it.
The back of the photo ledge will be the 4 inch piece of wood.
Secure with several nails or wood screws along the backside of the 4 inch piece of wood.
Make sure the holes are recessed in the timber.
Wipe away any dust.
After it s done simply arrange your frames on the ledge.
Make a diy picture frame ledge.
Make an instant gallery wall with several photo ledges so you don t have to hang each frame individually.
Use the drill and the 30mm timber screws to join the back and the base together and then the front ledge and base together.
