Before and After 
Bifold Door Corner Shelf Step-by-Step Instructions:
Supplies:
- Bifold door
- 4 square pieces of wood that fit inside 1 inch from the outer edge of your bifold door when opened at a 90degree angle
- 150 grit sandpaper
- Pencil
- Level
- L square
- Rag
- Drill
- Phillips drill bit
- 1 ½” screws
- Paint
- Paintbrush
How To:
- 1. Lay the bifold door on a flat surface (sawhorses work great) so one side can fold up to a 90degree angle
- Mark and measure where you want to have your shelves (boards) located
- Use a level and an L square to make sure when boards are installed; they will be level
- One at a time, place each board on top of the flat section of the bifold door fold and then fold the other section to a 90degree angle so the board becomes flush inside both sides of the door
- Secure each board to the bi-fold door by screwing screws from the backside of both sections of the bifold door into the
board - Sand any edges, wipe away dust
- Paint the entire surface and let it dry. Two coats might be needed
