Make a Yardstick Nic-Nac Shelf

Today’s feature is from merwing with the clever idea for a yard stick shelf

cut 3 pieces of ribbon all the same length. I made mine about 9 inches long.
fold one ribbon into a circle, overlapping the ends. put the end pointing up on the inside.
put a thumbtack through both ends from the inside. stick it in the wall.
repeat with the other two ribbons, one for each end of the yard stick and one in the middle.
slide the yard stick through the ribbons. you can glue it underneath if you want.
voila! you’re done.

I’d have to place something like this fairly high up (say above a set of closet doors or entrance ways), because of the ‘Klutz Factor’ in our home (ME). I at first discounted the concept for that reason, but now I see a few spots that would be a pleasant location for displaying nic-nacs–yet be safe from getting knocked around.

Yardstick shelf? Cool idea I think :).
