  • In this video, I hack a basic cube shelf, similar to the IKEA Kallax into a cabinet that not only looks way cuter, it acts as craft supply storage.
    I teach you how to make cabinet doors for a cube bookcase/Kallax and how to make a scrapbook paper organizer and shelf that can insert into the cubes.
    This is an easy DIY that you can do to upcycle a basic bookshelf into something on-trend.
    Stay tuned because a part 2 may be coming where I add cane webbing to the doors!

    After this video, head over to see how I used this cabinet to organize my craft supplies 👉 th-cam.com/video/2kKNm4wM40s/w-d-xo.html

    Brilliant! I can do this. 😁 Most DIYs require power tools or hundreds of dollars or both! This is going to be so helpful for my studio space. Thank you!

    Such a good idea! I could definitely use one of these, all of my supplies are currently hidden behind my couch in the living room!😂

      I relate to that SO MUCH. Right now I have a giant Rubbermaid tub in my living room filled with DIY supplies... and I'm pretty sure I have supplies stored in every room of my apartment

    Great job! I agree that the cane panels would give the doors some nice detail. But textured fabric with a clear sealer or textured placemats may work well as another option too. Thanks for sharing 🙏

      Love that idea! I plan to give them a facelift once it's warmer out. I love the fabric idea

    This is a genius idea. I wish I had thought of something like this sooner - but that's okay. I can still use the idea. Excellent, excellent idea and you did a really great job of it. BTW, this video caused me to subscribe to your channel!

    As always, loved your DIY. I know this video is a bit older, and I think I saw that you now have a mitre box, but if you don’t have any yet, some clamps would also help you out when using that hacksaw. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻

    That was a very good transformation. For the door fronts some molding and paint inside or glue some pretty paper, gift paper could do,

    • @ActuallyAlli

      That's all a great idea! I plan on doing something to make them a little prettier once the weather is warmer

    What size plywood did you get? You said you cut 4 13 by 13 squares, but then they are doors. Did you cut them 28 by 14?

    I appreciate you efforts.wonderful.Also your parents and school to make you so independent. Here in India mostly beautiful girls not encouraged to do hard core mechanical things. Exceptions r always there. Keep it up✌👏

    Or for the paper holder, u can nail/screw in the dowels & put a thin wood on top so its sturdier & ur able to move it out & slide it back in🙂

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Would be a great idea and what I would have preferred! I don't have a saw to cut plywood on my own & the guy at the hardware store was getting flustered, so I didn't want to push it. The paper is light enough that the foam board works perfectly fine

    How do you easily remove the command strips after you decide you want to keep it as a cube shelf again
