Inexpensive Bookshelves {A Pinteresting Project}

Post by Rebecca Reid 1 Comment

pinteresting bookshelvesI have been watching homeschoolers link up for the homeschool room reveal. I’ve been watching school teachers share pictures of their cool classrooms. It’s about time I do something with mine!

I am getting very excited about the things we’ve done. While the layout is still the same as it was last year, I am finding we have an overabundance of stuff this year: the books keep multiplying, the games people gift me have overrun the closet, and my newly found crafty side (more about this later) also means that a plethora of various craft items are bursting out of the closet.

I need more storage! But I don’t want to spend a fortune (which I don’t have) or add permanent fixtures to the room (as we’ll be moving at some point!).

When I need ideas, I head over to Pinterest!

One thing I found on pinterest gave me a ton of inspiration for taking care of the books problem. Enter, an inexpensive alternative to bookshelves!



pinteresting bookshelves2To create these inexpensive bookshelves, I needed just three things.

  • plastic milk crates
  • zip ties (affiliate link)
  • scissors to trim the zip ties

pinteresting bookshelves3I stacked the crates and attached zip ties through the top of one and the bottom of the other. And there you go! I have new bookshelves for my school room and closet!

I can’t wait to try the next great Pinterest idea!

How do you store all the books you have in your homeschool or classroom?
