A very easy cheap and organised way to store shoes- Cardboard Shoe rack

       
Hello crafters,

When you live in small house it's a task to arrange your things in place. I love to buy different type of shoes and for me, the biggest task is to arrange shoes,

Not only for shoes, if you live in small apartment building or even a normal family home you just won't escape from the storage problem. Many stores have lot of items that can give you help with the storage issue, but most of the items involves buying expensive storage items that probably might not need and wont help you much. In order to counter that I made few of  other sleek, foldable and strong cardboard items such as Spiderman table for spiderman fan, Giant cardboard almirah with cubboards, all purpose shelfs, little foldable table and many more. 


So, here I am back again with spacious cardboard shoe rack, which is proved to be a lovely house of 35 shoes, with lots of attachments, adjustable spaces and doors. It is very sleek shoe rack with 5 top shelf covered with doors with 10 sections. 2 shelfs to put socks in and lower shelfs with customised soaks for wellington. 

Things I used:-

1) lots of cardboards
2) Glue/ Glue gun
3) Craft knife
4) Paper/duct tape to decorate
5) Drawer magnets
6) cable tie






5 of these cardboard sheets, please note each sheet is made out of 3 layers of cardboards to give it a strength.



fix these sheet in the almirah

Cardboard Spiderman table for kids, DIY

Hi crafters,

Time flies, My DS has already started his schools, that means gradually he will be doing more sitting, more writing and more reading...hence time to do something big and really useful, so we ended up the idea of making a big table and decided to use his other cardboard table (I posted earlier on) for messy works like- crafts, paintings etc.


The plan was to make a table which requires little and easy assembly. So here I made 5 piece table which includes 2 walls, 2 supports and 1 top part. The fun part is you only required 3 steps to assemble the table.


Things I used:-

1) Cardboards
2) PVA glue
3) Craft knife
4) Ruler
5) Any paper for decoration, here I used Duct tape.

Thats all! 

Tips :-

1) The strength of table depends upon the quality of cardboard you are using. In this project I use 2 double sided cardboard which automatically makes it 4 single layer cardboard.

2) If you are using water based glue it is necessary to put equal wait on it.

2 side walls






Two support walls
