Stepladder shelves

Recycling an old stepladder is also a great storage idea for a bathroom towel hanging rack, or for having a few decor accessories on display.

HERE'S HOW:

1. To make these shelves, measure the width of each step and then cut a piece of wood to this size. Vary the width of each piece of wood to allow for the ladder to be positioned at a slant against a wall. Test each board as you go along so that the ladder sits nicely and then mark each board with a line so that you know where to place on each step.

2. Cut a strip of pine to fit on the back edge of each piece of board. Fasten this onto the board with wood glue.

3. Have a clamp handy, or someone to hold for you, while you screw the boards to the top of each step.
