DIY Bookshelf

As we all know Pinterest isn't just for recipes so I thought this post will be about one of the DIY projects I pinned.  A DIY bookshelf for my kids room. 

I found this tutorial here.

You'll need crates.  I did 4 but you could do any amount you want
Sandpaper
Paint
A roller
A paint brush
Liquid Nail

I went to Home Depot and got paint samples for the colors I want and this was more than enough paint for them.  I did 4 different colors.  The first thing I did was sanded down and of the rough parts.  There weren't many but there were enough that I felt like I needed to sand some of it down.  Then I used a roller with each crate followed by using a paint brush to touch any of the corners or inside the slabs that the roller couldn't reach.

To put the bookshelf together I used liquid nail.  You could use screws or nails but I really like the simplicity of the liquid nail.
