The book can serve not only as a sourceinformation, but also a stylish decorative accessory. To do this, you need to submit it "competently". How to do this and what can help you with this - we will tell you in our article In the era of the Internet, laptops, smartphones and readers, when almost any text or work can be read directly from the display, many refuse traditional information carriers - books. However, to this day, the presence of printed literature in the interior is perceived as an indicator of the level of culture of its inhabitants. Therefore, you should not store your favorite books on distant inaccessible shelves. It is much better to choose a worthy pedestal for them and put them on display as a decorative composition with intellectual connotations. We suggest you make an unusual wall shelf in the form of a suspension bridge with your own hands, using IKEA products and a standard set of tools.
Materials and tools:
- Wooden bars or a wooden board with a thickness of at least 2 centimeters (in our example - Statlig Board of IKEA);
- Shelf holders (in our example - Ekby Bjarnum from IKEA);
- Cord (or rope, tourniquet, tight elastic);
- Metal washers;
- drill;
- saw.
Pick up bars of the necessary size is enoughIt's difficult, so if you do not succeed, just buy a wooden board and cut it into pieces. In our example, 13 pieces of the board were used to create the bridge shelf, two of which have a width of 6.5 centimeters, and the remaining 11 - a width of 5 centimeters. 
At the end of each bar it is necessary to drill two through holes. It is important that the arrangement of the holes on all the bars is identical. Before you start, check with the photo. 
Cut off two pieces of cord.Tie a strong knot at one end of each piece. You can use glue to further secure the knot. Then thread the free ends first into the first bar (6.5 centimeters wide), and then into the rest. Use steel washers as spacers between the bars (in our example, three for each hole). The second wide block should complete the row. 
Fasten the ends of your bridge (wide bars) in the brackets (holders for IKEA shelves) and hang the structure on the wall. 
The new original shelf in the form of a suspension bridge is ready. Now you have a decent exposure platform for your favorite books, which never go out of fashion.
