- Paint or varnish (optional)
- Basic tools (drill, screwdriver, measuring tape)

How to Make It
1. Prep the Shutters: Wipe them down with a damp cloth. If the wood's rough, lightly sand it for a smooth finish.

3. Customize: Paint or varnish for a fresh look. Let it dry completely before hanging.
4. Mount It: Mark where the anchors go on the wall behind your bed. Screw the shutters in securely.
