Instructions for Homemade Shoe Racks

Making shoe racks at home can be extremely cheap, quick and easy. With a few small boards and plywood, you can build a three-shelf shoe rack that can hold 10 or 11 pairs of shoes. Shoe racks are convenient for even those households that don´t have large numbers of family members. They keep shoes organized, and help keep mud and snow from being tracked through the house.

Tape measure
2 pieces of plywood, 1-by-14-by-24-inches
6 pine boards, 2-by-2-by-27-inches
Screw gun
12 wood screws, 3-1/2 inch

Instructions

- 1
  Position the plywood on the 14-inch edges, parallel and 27 inches apart. You may need an extra pair of hands to keep the plywood in this position and to make the next step easier.
- 2
  Position a 27-inch board perpendicularly between the boards so it is 3 inches above the ground and flush with the two corresponding 24-inch edges of the plywood.
- 3
  Screw through the plywood and into the ends of the board. Screw another 24-inch board to the plywood in the same manner. It should be 3 inches above the ground, and flush with the 24-inch edges on the opposite side. This pair of boards is the bottom shelf for your shoe rack.
- 4
  Screw another pair of boards to the plywood so there is a board directly above each of the first two. This second pair of boards should be 8 inches above the first and flush with the 24-inch edges of the plywood just as the first are. Repeat this step so there is a third pair of boards 8 inches above the second pair.
