Preparation
4 - 1x12 @ 4 feet long
1 - 1x3 @ 6 feet long
1 - closet rod @ 2 feet long
Hooks and mirror
Instructions
Step 1
From two of the 1x12s @ 48" long, mark out cuts and cut with a jigsaw. Sand cut edges until smooth and the two sides match each other.
Step 2
Cut the shelves from the remaining 1x12 so they are exactly the same length. Drill pocket holes (3/4" setting) on each end (three per end). Attach upper shelf first with a space of 8-3/4" under the upper shelf, pocket holes facing downward. Then attach the bottom shelf. Uses 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Step 3
Cut the 1x3s as desired with a jigsaw. Attach on ends with pocket holes. Attach to shelves with 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue.
NOTE: To avoid pocket holes showing at the top, you can use screws or nails to attach the top 1x3.
Step 4
Acessories with hooks, mirror, closet rod and bins. The bins shown here are sized to match the Target striped closet bins.
