This is the long-awaited DIY full-length tutorial featuring Dollar Tree items. Please note that I purchased these items before Dollar Tree raised their prices to a minimum of $1.25.
Materials Needed:
2 Dollar Tree shower caddies
4 pieces Dollar Tree small cooling racks (they come 2 per pack) or they have large ones 1 per pack
Zip ties
Scissors
Optional items:
2 Dollar Tree skinny baskets
2 Dollar Tree woven style plastic baskets
10-in tension rod from 99 Cents Only Store
Instructions:
1) Place the two shower caddies facing back-to-back of each other.
2) Using zip ties, connect the first cooling rack to the "feet" of each shower caddy. There should be four connections. Please note, this step is shown as step 4 on the YouTube video because I changed my mind in making it removable, however, if you prefer to make it removable, then follow the YouTube tutorial prior to it being attached.
3) Connect the 2nd cooling rack to the first bar on each of the shower caddy (note that you can also change the height if you like, the video will also show where you can move it to!). You will have 3 zip ties on each side (1 on each end of each shower caddy and 1 at the center). All in all, 6 zip ties.
4) Connect the 3rd cooling rack to the top perpendicular bar of the shower caddies. Repeat step 3 in connecting the 6 zip ties, 3 on each shower caddy.
5) Connect the 4th cooling rack to the back. make sure that the rack's feet go inwards to provide added support. This finishes the backbone of this project and can be used as is!
6) Add the optional items if you like! I used 2 white skinny baskets to hold my pens, pencils, markers, highlighters. I also used the deep woven style baskets to hold more items and coral them neatly.
7) Add the optional handle. I used a 10-inch white tension rod that I got years ago from 99 Cents Only Store. You can get similar ones from Walmart or Amazon. Below are other options for handles:
- Dollar Tree wooden dowel rods - also available at Walmart
- Dollar Tree plunger wooden handle - cut to size
- Old mop handle, cut to size, available also at Dollar Tree.
