DIY Repurposed Hanging Wall Shelves

Here is a repurposed project you're going to love... today I'm repurposing an artist canvas into a wall hanging planter with shelves for plants.  Don't do plants? How about a shelf for craft supplies?

I began with the strangest of supplies, an artists canvas that I wasn't using looked very much to me like a window frame. 

Hmmm, what could I do with a window frame?

I removed the canvas and gathered a few more supplies. 

Several pieces of scrap wood cut to the width of the canvas frame were first up. 

For this project I also used wood glue, a nail gun, and paint. 

I began by building a wooden box from the scrap wood. 

 A front, a bottom, and two side pieces. 

I used wood glue and a nail gun to build my box. 

Next, I attached the wooden box to the bottom of the canvas frame. (the window)

Then I decided my window needed a couple of shelves so using more scrap wood I cut 2 pieces and attached them with wood glue and nails to the center piece of the window and one to the top. 

It was really beginning to look like something now! 

Next, I found a jar of oops paint from Home Depot in a very light shade of beige. 

I gave the frame 2 coats of the oops paint. 

When the paint dried I cut a piece of thin plywood and painted it back with chalkboard paint to use as a backing for the shelves. 

Now it was time to add a couple of D ring hangers to the back of the window. 

I added an enamelware plaque to the front of the box for decoration. 

All that is left to do is to hang my new shelf and fill it with plants or whatever. 

I don't do plants very well so I filled the shelf with faux plants and they look great! 

Or if you're like me you have a ton of crafts you could put in repurposed glass flower vases from the thrift store and fill the shelf with crafts. 

Who would have thought an artists canvas would make such a great shelf to hang on the wall?
