DIY IKEA LACK SHELF HACK UNDER $25

Hey Bargain Family! Thanks for joining me for my very first non Dollar Tree related DIY. I've been getting many request to try recreating an IKEA item for an inexpensive price. Today, I'm trying my hand at making the Lack Shelf. These gorgeous looking shelves are popular when it comes to vanity displays. It cost me $12 to make one shelf. That price is for the board and paint. Everything else I had on hand. If you have a drill on hand but need everything else it will cost you $14.94. If you don't own a drill and buy everything I suggested it will cost you $23.93. It all just depends on what you've got on hand already or what you prefer to buy. Either way, you can definitely make your own shelf for a much less price than buying the shelf from ikea.

Measurements for my shelf:
Backboard 3ft Tall
4 Shelves at 6in Long
Space between the bottom shelf and third shelf is 10in.
First shelf is placed 7.5in below the top of the board.
Space between the first and second is 7.5in.
Space between the second and third shelf is 7.5in.

I didn't mess with the thickness or width of the pine board at all. I left it the way I bought it. If you use my exact measurements, you'll have 11.5in of extra wood. You could use that extra wood to give the shelf more height or to create 5 shelves instead of four.
