Fabric Bins:
- Fabric: Canvas, cotton, burlap – even old clothes! Think about how tough and washable it needs to be.
- Sewing machine (or needle & thread): A machine is faster, but hand-sewing gives it a cool, rustic look.
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Pins or clips
- Interfacing (optional): This makes the fabric stiffer.
Wooden Bins:
- Wood: Plywood, pine, or even reclaimed wood works great. Think about how thick it needs to be for what you'll store.
- Saw
- Drill and drill bits
- Screws or nails
- Wood glue
- Sandpaper
- Wood stain or paint (optional)
Cardboard Bins:
- Sturdy cardboard boxes: Reuse those boxes!
- Scissors or box cutter
- Strong glue
- Decorative paper or fabric (optional)
Let's Get Building!
1. Simple Fabric Bin:
- Cut two rectangles for the sides and two squares for the base and top.
- Sew the long sides of one rectangle to one side of a square (the base). Do the same with the other rectangle and square.
- Sew the open sides of the squares together, enclosing the top square.
- Finish the seams so they don't unravel.
- Add handles (optional)!
2. Basic Wooden Bin:
- Cut the wood – you'll need four sides and a base.
- Glue and screw the sides to the base. Pre-drill holes to avoid splitting the wood.
- Sand everything smooth.
- Add stain or paint (optional).
3. Repurposed Cardboard Bin:
- Find a sturdy box.
- Reinforce the edges with more cardboard or tape (optional).
- Decorate it! (optional)
Tips for Success
- Plan ahead: Sketch your design and measure carefully!
- Use strong materials.
- Add extra reinforcement for heavy stuff.
- Make it your own! Add handles, labels, or decorations.
- Think about the space you have.
