Homemade Sliding Closet Doors

This is the most time consuming part of the project.

Homemade sliding closet doors.

Our completed closet doors. Place the plywood on top of the frame apply wood glue and secure it with screws once it s aligned. Finding sliding closet door hardware can be tricky and expensive so today i am going to show you how we made the door and the sliding closet door hardware we chose. If you do consider turning them into sliding doors for your closet.

If you don t have an existing soffit in your room on which to hang your doors you can build one by connecting two. Better yet it works with just about any décor style including even a modern style and doesn t cost a lot to make. Stapler screws drill acrylic paint to stain burlap also optional closet door hinges you can get similar ones here. Prior to screwing the frame on put your wood glue silicon all over the frame attach.

Our doors were 86 3 4 and the length. Now you have a door that you can hang onto your existing closet door way. With a dado blade on your table saw make a dado. Wood stain optional burlap any fabric or you can even use thin plywood i used 5 1 2 yards of burlap i purchased my burlap at joanns.

Adding something unusual like a sliding door made of repurposed shutters is a certain way to make the space more interesting. Pick your choice of paint and roll brush it on. Like i said this closet thing was not even part of the plan for her room but as we were getting things done it needed to be added. Screw the paneling onto the frame and you re done.

Attach the plywood sheet to the back of the door.
