Gather the materials

You will need:

• Glue
• Paint brushes

• Colorful paper or wallpaper
• Wood or metal saw depending on the material chosen
• Scissors
• Adhesive tape

Create the shape of the book holder

Start by making a sketch of your book holder with the desired measurements.

Make sure you have the different parts done separately.

Cut out the parts of the book holder

Once the different parts of the book holder have been defined, you can saw them to the right dimensions (remember to use suitable gloves and do this in a suitable environment).

Attach the book holder to the form

Finally, to attach the book holder to the form, use adhesive tape to stick it to the base or nails depending on the material.

Make sure the tape is firmly stuck around the entire edge of the shape to ensure the book holder stays in place.

That's all ! You now have a unique, personalized book holder that you can use to store your books at home.
