You'll Be Surprised How Easy This Modern Wall Organizer Is To Make

To create this modern wall organizer, we used simple pieces of unfinished wood we found at the hardware store, such as plywood (a Hunker fave). By adding a cork board, two shelves, and a chalkboard, there is ample room for displaying personal touches such as favorite postcards, foraged items, and favorite pens. This is a project that's perfect for any work space, studio, or home.

Step 1

First, arrange the shelves to where you will be gluing them onto the board. We decided to sit ours within the center of the board.

Before you glue on the shelves, use the wood glue to adhere the cork square to the board.

Step 2

Adhere the two shelves to the board using the wood glue. Allow to dry overnight. Once dry, you can reinforce the shelves by using a nail gun or hammer and small nails.

Step 3

Tape off a bottom section of the board. For this DIY, we created a 10-inch-by-12-inch section. Using chalkboard paint, paint the board within that area.

Step 4

Then, using the wood glue, attach a small wood box to the board. This is perfect for holding pens, pencils, or chalk.

Step 5

After painting two coats, peel the tape back. If you are hanging the message board from the wall, you will want to attach a hook on the back of the board. We decided to lean ours against a wall, upon a desk, as seen in the photos.
