I’ve been wanting to organize my shoes into a simple shoe storage solution for a while. Whenever I buy a new pair of shoes, I just add the box to a shelf in my closet. I hated the way all the boxes were different colors and sizes, and I never knew what shoes were in which box. It was a hassle going through all the boxes to find what pair I was looking for.
I finally decided to do something about it!
While shopping at Hobby Lobby, I found these sturdy boxes that are the perfect size for shoes and low boot storage. They have several different patterns to choose from. The size I decided to purchase is 13 3/4″ X 5 1/2″. Depending on the shoe, you may be able to fit 2 pairs of shoes per box.
Once I had purchased all the boxes the shoes would go in, I took an individual picture of all my shoes. I then used the free online photo editing program PicMonkey to put 4 shoes per page, so I could then print out the images.
Once the shoe pictures were printed, I cut each shoe picture out individually. I then adhered each photo to the front of each box
and placed the shoes in their corresponding box.
And there you have it, an organized simple shoe storage solution!
I won’t shop at Hobby Lobby but that’s a great idea! You have some awesome shoes there!
Thanks, Lois! My favorite pair are the clear pumps from my wedding day.
Fantastic idea. I keep wearing the same shoes simply because I can’t see all of the pairs I own.
It is so wonderful to be able to see all my shoes now!
How smart is this? But I use plastic shoe boxes, so handy!
I like the clear plastic boxes too. Thanks, Carol.
I’m embarrassed to say that my shoes are in a huge pile in the closet floor. I keep meaning to organize them…one of these days. Your post just moved my motivation meter a few points toward getting them straightened out. And those boxes are super cute!
Angela, send me a picture when you get it done! It feels so good to get it finished.
Love it! I do something similar, using plastic shoe boxes and sticking a photo of the contents on the outside. It is SO helpful and makes me feel so organized!
I love the idea of the clear plastic boxes!
Reorganizing my closet is high on my fall to-do list – thx for the inspiration .
No problem, it looks so nice once it’s done!
