How to Create a Multipurpose Caddy
Materials Needed:
- 2 Dollar Tree cabinet shelves
- 2 Dollar Tree shower caddies
- 20 zip ties
- Scissors
Instructions:
Prepare the Shelves:
- Take the two cabinet shelves and decide how you want them stacked. You can use them horizontally or vertically based on your preference.
Attach the Shower Caddies:
- Position one shower caddy on each shelf. Ensure they are aligned evenly and secure enough to hold items without tipping over.
Secure with Zip Ties:
- Use the zip ties to attach each shower caddy to the shelf.
- Loop a zip tie through the holes in the shower caddy and around the shelf.
- Pull it tight, but be careful not to overtighten and damage the caddy.
- Repeat this for each caddy and both shelves, using at least two zip ties per caddy for stability.
Trim Excess Zip Tie:
- Once all zip ties are secure, use scissors to trim off the excess length from each zip tie for a neater appearance.
Final Touches:
- Check the stability of your caddy. If needed, add more zip ties for additional support.
- You can customize the caddy by painting the shelves or adding labels to the caddies for organization.
Fill Your Caddy:
- Now that your multipurpose caddy is complete, fill it with your favorite items! It can be used for crafting supplies, kitchen tools, or bathroom essentials.
Tips:
- Feel free to decorate the caddy with stickers or paint to match your style.
- Experiment with different arrangements for the best fit for your needs.
