If you have two old leather belts that you don't wear any more or that don't quite fit, try using them to hang up a shelf. It's far easier than it sounds.

According to Cologne's DIY Academy, all you need in order to turn a couple of old accessories into eye-catching decoration are: Two leather belts about a metre long and a suitable piece of wood. A good choice is a plywood shelf (medium density; MDF) about 85cm wide, 25cm deep and 2cm high.
