This project was a simple and fun one that took about 10 minutes to complete. I used this in my guest room. Again, this is a first attempt project and now know other tips and tricks that I would do if I were to do it again.
A corner bracket, a hard cover book and an electric screwdriver is all you need.
I situated the book so that the bind of the book would face out and upright. I pre-drilled holes so that the screws would go into the pages (to avoid the screws poking downward.)
I went ahead and screwed in the screws to get the pages ready. I then took them out to hang the bracket on the wall.
Use a level to get the bracket square on the wall. Screw it into the wall first. Try to set it pretty low on the wall so the bracket will be less noticeable.
Then, from the bottom up, screw the book into the pre-drilled holes. Screw slowly so that the screws pull the pages of the book together.
The finished product. A group of books 'floating' on a wall. Just in case my guests decide they want to read before bed. (I chose the titles "True Colors" "Just Breathe" and "One Day at a Time" so as to give it an uplifting vibe.)
