Make a DIY Colored Pencil Shelf

I’ve always enjoy the ambitious experiments of designer Dominic Wilcox, who, lately, has taken on a thirty-day speed creating challenge that has resulted in some fun projects: thread-wrapped grapes, onion ring fabric, and inflatable socks. 

But I’m particularly loving the practicality (?!) of this colored pencil shelf. Dominic says, “I made a shelf from coloured pencils by glueing them together. I was suprised at how strong it was using two layers of pencils….The shelf brackets are made by cutting a single pencil case into two parts and glueing together. The sliding doors hide the screws.” 

    There’s no how-to, per se, but all the photos at Variations on Normal should get you where you need to be.
