It's a Shoe Box "Shelf" Organizer actually. But, I also use shoe boxes as drawer organizers and this is not a new project, just some suggestions and idea starters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I seriously need some storage options now that I've gone totally craft happy. And, to cover 7 shoe boxes with remnant material gave me some very cute organizers for under $10. (Clearly, I didn't but the shoes! lol) Tips: ~You need at LEAST 1/3 yard of fabric to cover a standard shoe box. ~For the boxes to sit straighter, don't cover the bottom. ~Any glue will do. ~Use an exacto-knife to cut out bulky corners. (You need that lid to fit) ~Recycled file folders make a great easily replaced label. ~Silk and light cottons do not work well. (Mid-weight fabrics are best.) ~Keep all the glue on the INSIDE and hidden as it puckers the fabric. ~Go in stages and use Large Office Clips to hold fabric tight while it dries. Thanks CO&K for keeping the great idea's flowing!
