Tools and Materials Needed

Gather your supplies before starting the project

Tools

• Rotary hammer drill
• Cordless glue gun
• Paintbrush

Materials

• MDF board (60 x 90 cm)
• Beech glued laminated timber (60 x 18 cm)
• Cork panel (60 x 30 cm)
• Black chalkboard paint
• Wooden dowels
• Hooks with matching screws
• Wood screws
• Wall plugs
• Flowerpot for herbs

Step 1: Preparing the Boards

Mark and cut for precision

1. Cut the MDF board and glued laminate timber to size (60 x 90 cm and 60 x 18 cm).
2. Mark the placement for the shelf on the MDF board, leaving space for a chalkboard.
3. Add three drill marks for securing the shelf: two 5 cm from the edges and one in the middle.
4. Mark two additional points between the initial drill marks for the wooden dowels.

Step 2: Drilling the Holes

Create spaces for dowels and screws

1. Drill holes into the MDF board and the laminated timber for the wooden dowels using a drill bit slightly smaller than the dowel size.
2. Ensure the holes are deep enough to secure the dowels but do not drill through the board.

Step 3: Painting the Wall Board

Add a stylish chalkboard finish

1. Use a paintbrush to apply chalkboard paint to the MDF board.
2. Allow the paint to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4: Attaching the Shelf

Secure the shelf to the wall board

1. Insert wooden dowels into the pre-drilled holes with a bit of wood glue.
2. Apply wood glue to the edge of the shelf and align it with the MDF board.
3. Fix the shelf from the back of the MDF board using wood screws.
4. Attach three hooks to the lower part of the wall board for hanging bags or aprons.
