I 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!
To create these inexpensive bookshelves, I needed just three things.
- plastic milk crates
- zip ties (affiliate link)
- scissors to trim the zip ties
I 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?
