How to Make a Shoe Storage Box
It's becoming more and more common for people to have multiple pairs of shoes. Sometimes this can mean shoes getting scuffed up from being stored all together in a closet. Sometimes it can mean a favorite pair gets lost or forgotten about in the group. A little simple organization will keep your shoes in good shape and easily accessible.
What You Need:
- Shoes
- Camera
- Photo corners
- Shoe boxes
- Large piece of fabric (preferably a light color, a bed sheet will work fine)
- Glue or scrapbooking tape
- Scrapbook paper or cardstock
- Collect all your shoes and find a well-lit room.
- Place your fabric over a chair. This will provide a solid back drop for your pictures.
- Place a shoe on the fabric and take a picture.
- Upload and print or develop your pictures.
- Get a shoe box and make sure it's clean and free of dust and debris.
- Use a piece of paper to cover the box and lid, using your glue or tape to secure it. This is optional. If you don't mind how the boxes look on their own, skip this step.
- Find the pair of shoes that goes with each photo and place them together.
- Put your photo corners on a picture and place it on the front of a shoe box. Place the corresponding shoes into the box.
- Stack the boxes neatly with each other. If your closet has a shelf, this can be a good place to put them. If not, the bottom of the closet is fine. Be sure where ever you put them that it is easy for you to reach every box, so you can easily access any pair of shoes you want to wear.
