My DIY Floating Shelf Bracket and Tutorial

This DIY floating shelf bracket and tutorial has you organizing your collectibles in a jiffy! This is a fast, inexpensive and easy project to master. The thing I love most about a floating shelf is the LACK of seen brackets. I assure you though, this shelf is anything BUT flimsy. I have a method of attachment that makes this floating shelf able to perform under the heaviest of weights. It’s not a tiny bracket. It’s more of a big, beefy, load-bearing shelf of itself!  Bet yet? I’m making it with easy to acquire building materials.

An amazing thing is happening on my wall!

For those of you that don’t know, my Dad is a World Champion Power Lifter. Since his retirement, he competes all over the world in amateur lifting matches. That means he has a treasure-trove of medals, trophies and certificates that are in need of organizing. These items are disparate items that I want to display, side-by-side, in a small area. A floating shelf works perfectly to organize these items because the shelf itself (although beautiful) won’t detract from the important items being displayed on top of it.

A DIY floating shelf bracket and tutorial solves all my problems.

With just a few simple tools and paint, you will have a brand new collection hanging on your wall too. If your kids play sports or collect stuffed animals, cars or dolls, this project will get all the clutter off floors, dressers and beds. A floating shelf makes it easy to locate specific items easily – even from across the room. I love the way this DIY floating shelf bracket and tutorial helps streamline my weightroom. It’s traditional styling goes well with other elements in my home but you can also make it ultra-modern looking too.

Make it yourself. Make it your style.
