How to make a shelf for shoes from a cardboard box?

This version of the shelf for shoes with their own hands seems to us the most budgetary, because for its manufacture you will need a large cardboard box, which may have stayed with you from a washing machine or refrigerator. In addition, this container for your shoes, sneakers and sandals will occupy very little space in your hallway. But this is so important for many of us, who have a small corridor.

1. So, on the box with a pencil and ruler, we mark out the contours of the blanks - rectangles with a length of 25-30 cm and the width of the side of the cardboard box. The number of such parts directly depends on the desired height of the shelves for shoes. Then cut out the carton blanks. It is convenient to make a special knife for cardboard.
2. Now each rectangle needs to be folded as follows: dividing it into three equal parts, the two lateral ones of them bend into triangles as shown in the photo. This should be done with each workpiece.
3. Then all the blanks need to be loosely put on each other in such a way that there are grooves for pairs of shoes, and secure with adhesive tape.
4. After that, all the details between them must be secured with staples taken from the cardboard box.
5. We recommend to install your hand-crafted article in the hallway at the side of the cabinet, securing it.

If desired, the shelf can be pasted with wallpaper or wallpaper, which will give it a more neat look.

How to make a shelf for shoes made of building materials?

This version of the shoe shelf is suitable for those who like non-standard solutions. It can also be made from materials that can be found in the house after repair, namely from PVC pipe sections. It is important that the diameter of the pipe is suitable, otherwise the shoes will not fit. You will also need the following materials and tools:

• saw for cutting;
• the remains of wallpaper;
• wallpaper paste;
• roller;
• liquid Nails.

We begin to make an unusual shelf for shoes with our own hands:

1. Using a hacksaw, cut the pipe to the same lengths. Consider the length of the shoe.
2. Each piece of pipe must be pasted with wallpaper that you like or fit the design of your hallway. The glue is most conveniently applied with a roller. By the way, we recommend gluing the inside of the pipe sections - your future shelf will look exquisite.
3. On the edges of each piece of pipe, closing the joints of the inner and outer layers of wallpaper, you can apply an insulating tape of the appropriate color. However, a simple ribbon made of cloth is suitable, it can be glued.
4. When all the decorative elements dry, the pipe pieces need to be joined together by means of "liquid nails" - hot melt. You can give your shelf absolutely any kind - whatever you want. For example, the same elegant as the shelf in the photo, when three segments are superimposed on two.
