Make Your Own Round Farmhouse Wall Shelves
Have you seen these great round shelves on Fixer Upper? Do you want to get that look for almost nothing? Those round shelves Joanna fills with plants or knick-knacks are beautiful and I've figured out how to make them myself and save money too!
It all started with a couple of broken clocks. My goal was to make them look like the ones at the bottom of this post.
If you remember recently I made a beautiful, unique Christmas wreath and then another wreath using a skinny rim from a broken wooden clock. You can read all about them by visiting the bold links.
This time, I'm repurposing the 2 metal clock pieces that hold in the clock parts.
The gutter mesh wasn't wide enough to cover the whole back of the clock so I made it fit by attaching it from the shelf up and then another piece below the shelf. The mesh easily cut with scissors to fit the back of the clock frame.

The first step was to cut a small wooden shelf to fit inside each of the clock frames. I glued them in with E6000. This awesome glue bonds almost anything to anything!
The next step involved a roll of metal gutter mesh I had in the basement. Mine was leftover from a home improvement project but I've used it in so many projects, it's just good to have on hand.
I attached the wire with hot glue. When both the small and large shelves were finished I brought them into the garage and spray painted them in my spray shelter using oil rubbed bronze spray paint. The oil rubbed bronze created the look of metal on the wooden shelves. The paint shelter is an amazing thing to have to keep overspray from getting all over everything in the garage.
The next day when the paint was dry, they were ready to hang and decorate! I filled them with tiny Christmas decorations but can change them out with the seasons.
Mine are filled with holiday decorations but you can fill them all year long with small decorative items. They look just like the store bought farmhouse shelves only mine were just about free! It pays to save metal pieces that can be turned into something fun at a later time. I think it's called hoarding! LOL
