Great idea! You're onto something here. Maybe glue a dowel rod to the front and back cross bars of the shelf and along two of the support bars that cross over each basket. Next, add a flat piece on top (maybe the cutting boards or use a DT sign and cut it to size). (I'd use both hot glue and E6000) The flat piece would then be elevated enough to allow the zip ties to glide under.
Wow that's crazy I didn't even read any of the comments until after I posted my comment & mind blown we are definitely on the same book same page same paragraph that's awesome 😊🤯💡💜
Great idea. Probably put another basket underneath so it matches to hold the other items
I find it refreshing to see a craft worked through and see your thought process. Very entertaining video!!! Thanks for your hard work 🧡🖤🧡
I think I would make some sort of drawer pull so that it is easier to open and close. Also, the pull should keep the basket from getting stuck on the lip of the shelf. Great start to a good idea!
You could add something like poster board to the top of your shelves so things wouldn’t fall through. The core board, is harder that would even work. You have some great ideas! 😊
I was thinking the same. Use some of the Dollar Tree foam board or poster board and contact paper.
Or the clear cutting boards
All inventions start with thoughts and ideas and visions etc. Good job on this project.
I love the way your brain works. It looks simple but I know it requires brain work. love it Kieran
Ingenious for certain Very creative ❤
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing your thought process.
Oh, my goodness. I love this. You could use it for school supplies or crafting supplies or just to organize anything in your home. Thank you so much for sharing this. Have a wonderful weekend.😊
Wow great idea Kieran well done lovely
A suggestion for some more storage options on both outer sides …. grab a few two to three shelves like similar to a wired spice rack or even those wired soap holders that has enough width and space for your lose ends scissors or your tapes and staplers etc or find a way to even attach few cup holders
I wish I could add a pic of some sort to show but I’m sure you know what I mean for more outer sides options that you can utilise your shelving and storage options 😊
Another great DIY keep them coming loving your content and your creativity always inspires others ❤👏😊

Think it's a great idea and just keep tinkering with it--you'll get it to work!
Nice idea! Looks good 😊
Baskets on middle shelf...😊
I would have gotten some of the dowel rods and glued them down the metal bars on the shelf (except for ones with zip ties). Then, I would have taken place mat or the foam board and glued it to the dowels. That way, you could use shelves without interference with a zip tie. If you wanted to go a little more fancy and and farmhouse look, you could get the flat wood planks DT sells in a pack of 4 or 5 and glued them across dowels. Just a couple of little ideas. I'm not sure if it works out like my mind thinks, but if you line up right, it should. But you had a good idea.
Nice! Could maybe cut up a DT cutting board sheet or foam board to lay on the top so things don’t move when opening the drawers. Also loop a zip tie for drawer pulls?
Or the DT cork sheet with the sticky back...but would be more than your suggestions. But I feel like whatever she uses has to fit inside of the zip ties and not the full width of the shelves.
Very clever !!
It seems to work pretty well, thanks for sharing! I think the drawers need some form of pull, although no good options are coming to mind right now. The office supplies on the table surface could possibly fit into one of DT's square clear refrigerator bins.
Glue a Jenga block to the front of each basket as a pull.
It is cute. You can use the wood cutting boards to put on the layers to make them stronger. You could add foam board.
I love it I have to try this ❤❤❤❤❤
neat ok I believe if you get bigger baskets for underneath and put all the things in the bigger baskets no zip typing just underneath - your ideas all so cool! just started watching you - you are so clever! basket underneath should be white as well
Amazing how you think outside the box. Awesome idea. Thank you for sharing
That’s a very clever idea. However, for the money and time invested (and being a lazy girl myself), I’d just buy a cheap plastic drawer. 😄
This is a great idea. Perhaps if you put a plastic liner over the shelf parts then the zip ties might be able to slide without touching/moving the items on top. I've done this before by using the Dollar Tree clear plastic cutting mats. They are very easy to cut down to any size you need. Thanks for another one of your creative ideas!👍😊
I came in to say exactly this. The plastic cutting boards would work.
Along with adding a couple of the other suggestions here, I would put this under my kids bathroom sink. Split the drawers for razors, soaps, hair accessories, pads, and smaller things along that line that get lost in larger and deeper drawers. Their scrubbies, special soaps, or whatever could go on the shelves.
Great idea, for the shelves you could cut foam board they sell at Dollar Tree so nothing would fall thru.
Maybe glue a wooden bead to each drawer for a handle? Otherwise I love it! Great idea!
Wow. Awesome idea girl. I think it would be a good idea to use for your cricut if it stays stationary. May not be sturdy enough while using but it would make for extra space. Thank you! ❤
Hiya! OMG!!! This is my FAVORITE diy from the ones you made! I have a small space n this would soo help me! Tfs
Great idea! Thanks for doing the work for us!
Great idea...I think you're almost there! ❤️
Wow, you’ve done it again, I would have never thought of making drawers like that. Great idea!
Awesome
Clever! I may try it in my sewing room.☺️
Great idea- I had the same thought as several others - cutting down the DT flexible courtyards to put on top tto prevent the zip ties from moving stuff and keep things from falling through. They are thin enough you could hole punch the corners and zip tie to keep in place without binding the drawer zip ties.
Also, maybe another row or 2 of zip ties on the back 1/2 of the basket would give more stability???
Cool. I like you make your show "live". No dry run for you :) + I would use it for crafts 🎉 ~ you could put baskets on each shelf as well ~ thanxoxme,Bon EKA CA USA 🌲
Love the idea! I would have put the loose tools (scissors,etc) I drawers and less drawers for drawing implements. It would look cleaner.
U should use the 2 pack of the cutting board mats from DT as a solid toppers on the top of the shelves maybe somehow use dowels to attache to the baskets & the shelf as a gliding system in a sense idk lol it just came to me but I guess I gotta think bout it a bit more but I luv it I'm inspired & it's got my wheels turning ☺️🤓
You have such great ideas. Thanks🥰
I did something similar with those drawer organizers. But I used binder rings instead of zip ties. Maybe when you loop the drawers use to zip ties and create a small chain. This will make the drawers slide out easier and leave more open space to put things in.
ThankGodyou this for use all rhak you
I suggest using the same baskets and attaching them to the shelves but in a way that lifts them up so it does not interfere with the sliding drawers
Something like fun foam or blank wood pieces
Measure them so they sit in between the zip ties. Then glue it to the baskets
The bottom of the basket now sits up and the material you used to raise the basket sits between the zip ties
Or take the dt wood cubes and glue them to the rungs by the zip tied rungs and glue a blank sign on top of that so your lifting the shelve up so nothing hits the zip ties as it slides
I’d try to slightly bend the bars that hold the sliding zip ties down a little bit. Cool idea!
I like the final look the best. Place a piece of cardboard on top of the shelves (underneath the scissors, stapler, tape etc..)
Great Idea❣️TFS💖
Slide a basket under it for the stapler and stuff.
Love it❤that's cool dyi
You did great
What if you take two more of those wire racks turned them upside down then attach them to the bottom shelf then attach the second shelf to the upside down ones. That would be a bit more stable and the zip ties for the drawers would be underneath the upside down ones so they could slide easy and your books can sit on the shelf without interfering with the zip ties. And turn the zip tie connectors under the bottom of the self so it’s not so much bulk on top. Also you can tie some twine, ribbon or whatever through the front holes in the baskets to use as drawer pulls so they are easier to pull out.
I like how it looks stable and it is multi functional
Put more baskets underneath. They can slide out too.
You could attach the longer narrow baskets on the sides to hold tape and scissors.
This is a fantastic idea! I really enjoyed watching u work it out & seeing ur thought process! I subscribed hoping there will b more like this! I am thinking of making the same but with a couple ideas that might work for my specific needs.
I think it is a great idea. Turned out nice. Maybe if you think on it you could tweak it a bit. Maybe 2-3 loose zip ties on each side to smoothly take draws in and out. You could glue them one side of zip tie circle . I think it’s a great idea though
I know you are a great teacher! Love your project.
Great diy you created ❤ multiple uses ty for sharing
Great idea. Thanks for sharing this video.
What a cute doggie. I love this will make
Great idea love it
Creative!
Love your DIY. I think it's perfect.😊❤
Great Clever Idea!!! In the middle shelf I would put the large white basket on each side with something Heavy so that when you pull out the small white basket, it won't move. hope I make sense for you lol... GREAT PROJECT!!!!!
You could try the clear cutting boards on the shelves in order to put more small items on them but can still see through them. A hole punch to attach them
You could incorporate some larger baskets above the pull out drawers to hold your larger items. Great creativity.
use a foam board for each level and make a grid marking where the zip tie all the throu foam board when it slides it won't move items on top then apply like small knobs or nautical rope to pull drawers just what i did works like a champ also to make stronger add dowels to each side and i painted mine
I think it is great, but I think that you need a flat shelf over the grated parts but raised up a little so that it would not interfere with the baskets moving.
Smart & Creative 🌸
I would try it
Maybe those grid cool racks on top of the shelves. Keep the shelves but on up put those cool racks on it. They have small gride and if you put them over those shelve,you would still move those out but will have maybe a small gap but still will function. Just with the cooling grids, would be smaller.
This is a great idea...one tip that could help is cut some foam board or cardboard just a bit slimmer than the bread ties, and glue it down on top. Instead of laying the items flat, lay them like a book shelf so the weight is not on top of the bread ties.You could also add walls to the foam board/cardboard to help the items stay vertical. Like you would a pot lid. Then you can store the large books on top. I am going to try this...thanks for the video!
It looks like it did work...😊 you could probably add another tier of what you've already done, and some of those baskets underneath as well to store small items. Maybe that would make it a bit better. But it really is a great idea!
It. Is cool. Is it sturdy enough? Does it stay like that? If it does it is really cool. I don’t think anyone has done this on u tube. Good job!
Try the larger baskets on top that comes 2 to a pack for the scissors, tape and other items
Great idea. What about a turntable (lazy susan) on top of the shelf. The turntable doesn't sit flush and may leave enough space for the drawers to clear.
Great idea! How about some longer wider baskets for under the sliding drawers. That you could pull out. Not necessarily sliding. When you had the stalker at first. Then where the scissors are also.
Next Step Ideas:
- S-hooks and carabiners on the sides to hang scissors on
- cascading pockets attached to side made of soft eyeglass containers
- shallow baskets zip-tied on "top" off organizers to hold larger but light items - ribbon, tape, etc.
Placing your stapler tape etc in a small basket that will pull them together
You could try moving the second shelf down so that there is no much space between the bottom of the basket and the shelf below it.
It is very clever. I was thinking, what if you were to put more baskets on top of the wire part in instead of put actual stuff on the shelf. Use 4-6 baskets. The bottom of the baskets are not as wide as the top so it should not interfere with the sliding ones. I hope this makes sense.
I love this!! Please do an update if you change anything
What if you made a "bottom" & shelf-tops out of foamboard, posterboard or the 2-pack plastic cutting board sheets?
You could hole-punch spots for the legs to go through & put a zip-tie in place to keep them from sliding up & down the legs....
Try using the thin cutting mats across the top of drawers so nothing falls through
Nice idea. But I would use bigger baskets and turn them sideways. I believe Dollar tree has a basket about 9 x 12.
Try putting a zip tie in the middle at the back to see if that helps any.
On the drawers. 11:02
Deeper baskets.
I would cut the top legs shorter, leaving space for the ties to slide and not putting anything on top only at the bottom .
Feel like it can be used in the classroom as an inexpensive alternative to an organizer.
Maybe you could stack 2 shelves together,flipping one upside down. Zip tie together,4x’s. Then join those together,into the shape you have. The baskets you bought that slide, could you put more under those where you had the scissors? That way you have 4 rows of baskets and you can put the journal or papers on top… Do you think that might work?
Great idea though! I love this!
I like this but probably could never find those racks. Dollar Tree stores here are sadly lacking and I've never seen these. I know they've been around for a long time but not here.
Hi, my DTs are pretty dumb as well.. specially after seeing all the items they could and do have what's up with our inventory people I'm going to start asking the managers
@@Bonnie-ww7mr Good luck! Florida stores are bad and I know they never know what they're getting on the trucks.
@@kathleengill1273 yeah, you're right there, too I was so much happier when I was ignorant to the actual stock Dollar Tree can have take care Bon EKA CA USA 🌲
I thought it was a cool idea!!!!
Not too bad.
How well do the drawers open with stuff sitting on the zip zies on the shelves. I feel like that stuff would slide around on the shelf when opening the drawers
I think you did a great job just need to make it a little stronger that’s all
I’d just buy a sturdy drawer organizer. It’s not a sturdy usable idea. It’s an idea and good try. Maybe you can use it for lighter stuff.
