DIY Shoe Rack:

Organizing the household is one of the biggest jobs around the house. Stacking the clothes neatly into the cupboards, arranging the shoes so they are easy to pull out, placing things in a meticulous and neat pattern so that they are easily accessible and look pretty too. The biggest headache is to arrange the shoes. All of them so they don’t get lopsided and retain shape on use. A DIY shoe rack is a great way in case you don’t want to spend big bucks on buying a shoe rack.

DIY Shoe Rack

Materials:

Large Wooden crates 6 in number
4 Pack heavy duty 3″ Swivel Caster Wheels Rubber Base with Top Plate & Bearing
Wood polish/ stain (color of your choice)
Paint brush
Some old rags
Sandpaper
Steel wool
Tack cloth
Cordless drill/driver
Small wood screws
4 hooks for keys

Directions:

Stain the crates using a wood stain/ polish of your choice. Dark Walnut color has been used here.

Allow it to dry completely.

Brush some wood stain on, and allow to sit for just a few minutes and then wipe it off with a rag.

Take the screws and a drill and screw the crates together, using 4 crates horizontally and 2 crates vertically for the DIY shoe rack.
Add the casters to the bottom so you can easily move the rack out to sweep underneath.

Once that is done add some antiquity to the crates…. “age” the crates. Use a sanding block and some steel wool or some sandpaper to take off some of the finish especially around the edges.
