Copperfield's shelves!

We all need some magic in our life, even college students!




With this DIY Hack you'll be able to gain a bookshelf and impress your friends with a simple and immediate trick!









You'll need:

• Book with a solid cover
• Simple Bookends
• Drill
• Screw(s)
• Duct Tape / Patafix

It's actually very simple: If there isn't a hole in the bookend drill two holes (see picture below) and attach it to the wall with the screws (PS: You can also use "no more nails" or something like that but with this method it's safer and more stable)

After that just place your book and fix the cover with tape or patafix (Or even hot glue if you really hate that book)

You just obtained a floating bookshelf made of book... Bookception!!

Old books/magazines into a table

If you're a student you'll notice how fast the free spaces in your library will be obliterated...
You have too many books and a little space. What can you do?

Well... you could set your old philosophy textbook on fire after the final exam but here's different designs that could solve the problem and also turn them into a great table for the living room:

The first project is "Ratchet Table" by Harry Hasson (The one on the left).
The second one's Vespa" by the Italian designer Giulio Iacchetti

(The images are from http://www.designerblog.it, one of the most interesting blogs about design in the italian language)


There are also some variants, like this one below where you can express your indie/retro/Ilistentobandsthatdonotevenexistyet soul  with vinyls (I believe that this one is also Harry Hasson's work but I'm not 100% sure)

Last but not least if you're a girl (or a guy)  and your room is full of American Cheerleader Magazine issues you could turn them into a nice chair with less effort! Here's the pic (I stumbled upon this picture, if someone knows the designer i would be grateful)
