Today I would like to share something I have found quite challenging, until now. I love the look of floating shelves and creating vignettes upon them. However, I have always stayed away from doing them.

Here are the reasons why. You know the two holes on the back? Well most of the time when I have tried to hang these kind of shelves, wall hanging I end up with several holes in the wall, so most of the time I have the hubby do it… Until now! Look I did it! And if I can do it, anyone can do it!!!

All you have to do is a few easy steps.

What you’ll Need to hang a Floating Shelf

Here is what you will need:

Blue painters tape
Level
Nails or drywall screws.

Step by Step Instructions on How to Hang a Floating Shelf

Turn your shelf over to the back. Cut off enough tape to reach from one hole to the other .

Take a pen or something you can poke a hold into the tape where the nails should go.

Remove tape and place it on the wall where you want to hang your shelf.

Take you level. Place it a the top of your tape on the wall and make sure it is level.
