My daughter is a huge reader and has books
all over the place.
She needed some bookends.

I made the most simple book ends ever.
I'll show you how I did it.



I had a reclaimed 1 x 4 in my garage.
I cut it down to 5 inch lengths.




 I drilled pilot holes in one end.
Pilot holes prevent the wood from splitting
 when it's screwed together.




I smeared a bunch of *wood glue 
onto the ends of the wood pieces.




Then using screws, I attached the wood pieces together.

I painted each of the book ends black
then distressed the edges.

My daughter has speakers that light up
with the music played.
They are super fun and get used all the time.
