Styrofoam Desk Shelf

In this instructable, I will show you how to make a desk shelf out of styrofoam that you may find in packages. This project is easy to make and useful in everyday life. It is customizable which means you can design and really make it yours.

• 3 pieces of styrofoam
• A ruler
• A knife
• Kabob Sticks

I cut two 4" by 13" pieces of foam that are 1/2" thick to make up my walls of the desk shelf. I marked the pieces with a marker and used a knife to cut them.

For the shelf portion of the desk shelf, I used a thicker piece of styrofoam that is the same length as the walls except that it is an 1" thicker. I used a knife and ruler to measure and cut the piece.

I placed the styrofoam piece that would be the shelf portion horizontally approximately 4" above the bottom of the walls. I used a kabob skewer to make the pieces stick together and hold their shape.

That is it! The desk shelf is now finished. I use it myself to hold papers and so far it has held up well.

I cut a 4" by 13" piece of styrofoam that would be the roof, I cut the styrofoam from a thinner piece of styrofoam. I used the kabob skewer to connect the walls and the top.

That is it! Enjoy your desk shelf. I personally use it to hold papers and other things, so far it has been holding up well. Have a good day!
