A unique feature of these free knick knack shelf plans is the addition of four Shaker Pegs at on the bottom of the unit. These pegs can be used to hang garments, ribbons or any number of things.

While you can turn some pegs on a lathe, you can just as easily buy some pre-made pegs. If you can't find any locally, try this online resource for wooden shaker pegs.

Drill four holes evenly spaced across the bottom back piece, 1-1/2" up from the bottom. Place a bit of glue on the pins of the shaker pegs and install them in the four holes of the back. Allow the glue to dry.
