Look! DIY Shelf Using Melamine Glasses

Sometimes drilling into your walls is not an option. Flickr user mamichan's plaster walls called for improvisation, so she created this lovely shelf using two melamine glasses and a brushed metal shelf for her desk...

Omg. A total "DUH!" moment. I am going to try this with a shelf that's been sitting in a corner for months...

Isn't melamine opaque? Maybe you meant acrylic?

I made a similar setup in my kitchen sink using two glasses, only I used a dish instead of a shelf. I use this shelf to display favorite cutlery...

That's kind of a big footprint for a shelf. If the intention is to get things elevated off the table/counter surface, so there's more room, then this would defeat that purpose.

It doesn't seem to be saving a lot of space.

I have those same acrylic tumblers (yup it's acrylic). Love that Target.
