Make "Baskets" Out of Cardboard Boxes
Necessity is the mother of invention, as my mom used to say. I couldn't find the right size baskets to fit on a couple of shelves in my daughter's room, so I covered a wine box and a shoe(boot)box with 4 ply jute twine.
Here's the project all finished.
I found a wine box that was the perfect size (width and depth) and cut down the top
I wrapped & hot glued some jute string around a shoe box for the top box and the wine box is on the bottom.
I made some liners from a drop cloth to line the cardboard boxes to complete the look.

This is simply brilliant! You don't have to go and 'find' one that fits.... Can make the whole dang thang if you need to! Thanks a bunch:)

I too have struggled with replacing storage for repurposed furniture! I didn’t think of this! I wishI had sooner! amazon delivery boxes can be repurposed.
I have also used these boxes as weed barriers under mulch. Landscape fabric is non recyclable and it really doesn’t work well to stop grasses. Plus, it is quite expensive!
