How to Make Your Own Underbed Shoe Organizer

If you are a shoe fashionista, you know that finding enough storage for your shoes is a problem. There are so many styles, colors and activity shoes, so few storage solutions!  It’s super easy to make an under bed shoe organizer following a few simple guidelines.

You need

• .58 quart under bed storage box


• 7 strips of thick cardboard measuring 20 by 6 inches


• 39 by 6 inch strip of thick cardboardRuler


• Pencil


• Scissors

1. Start with the 39 inch piece of cardboard. Lay the strip length wise and starting from one end, make 7 marks, 4 ¾ inches apart. Your mark should be three inches long, in essence, from the top to the middle of the strip. The last section will be a little larger.


2. Cut the seven marks using a pair of sharp scissors. Make sure you only cut the three inch mark, no more.


3. Take the 20 inch piece of cardboard, laid lengthwise and make a three inch mark in the exact center, 10 inches in from the end. Repeat for all the 20 inch strips.


4. Put the 39 inch strip of cardboard in the middle of your under bed box with the cuts facing up.


5. At each cut, put a 20 inch strip with the cuts facing down on top of the corresponding cut. The two pieces will slip together and interlock. You will have a shoe storage box with 16 shoe slots. You can store 16 smaller pairs of shoes or 8 large pairs of shoes.


6. It’s easy to customize your shoe storage box. If you are putting in women’s sandals or children’s shoes for example, you could make your sections smaller, fitting in more pairs.
