DIY shoes storage with foam board and used mail box

What you need: Foam board,  used mail boxes, white craft paper, ruler, tape, hot glue gun, glue (or spray adhesive), art knife, scissor, and marking pen

Size: shelf is 24H x 30W x 12D, each small compartment is 6Hx6Wx12D

Foam board cut to size: 12x24 (make 2), 12x30 (make 5), use hot glue gun to glue them together. (Don't forget to add in the thickness of your foam board and cardboard)

Used mail boxes: Cut them up at the edge, cover them up with white paper, and make a square box

Cut up at edges (blue lines)

Cover one side with white paper (or color of choice)

Make squares boxes, these would be 6x6x12 in size

Insert these boxes into the shelf frame, secure them with hot glue gun

Tape the edges up with color tape of choice. Result:

Compare to my old way of storing my shoes, this is much better, I can see what I have and don't have to go through a bunch of boxes just to find what I want for my outfit.

 

This project cost me about $10. I used 7 foam sheet $1 ea at Dollar store, half a roll of tape $2.50 at Walmart, and other supplies is already on hand. This is a great way to organize your shoes as well as display them.
