DIY Repurposed Drawer into Cute Hanging Shelf

Do you have an old drawer you don’t know what to do with?

I made this cabinet shelf out of two drawers I had, but I still had this one I wasn’t sure what to do with.

After searching Pinterest, I had the idea to make a cute hanging shelf with the remaining drawer. I think it turned out so cute!

I’ll show you how I turned this random old drawer into this cute hanging shelf!

DIY Repurposed Drawer into Cute Hanging Shelf

Materials Needed:

Drawer

Paint

Scrapbook paper or fabric

Mod Podge

Paintbrushes

1″ X 3″ wood (for the back so it sits flush against the wall)

Plywood (small piece to make shelf)

2 D Ring picture hangers

Tape Measure

Scissors

Screws

Directions:

  1. Cut a shelf (if desired). Measure the width and length it needs to be and test it to fit. 
  2. Measure and cut the 1″ X 3″ for the back. (This needs to go at the top and bottom so the drawer hangs level and sits flush. Attach to the shelf. 
  3. Paint the drawer and shelf. (I used a light grey I had leftover)
  4. Measure and cut your scrapbook paper or fabric.
  5. Apply to back of drawer with Mod Podge and paintbrush. 
  6. Attach shelf to drawer with screws. 
  7. Add hangers to back.
  8. Hang up and decorate!

This DIY repurposed drawer makes such a cute hanging shelf for a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, or office. 

Have fun with this one by using fun color paints and background patterns!
