Turn A Cube Shelf Into Shoe Storage With Dollar Tree's Plastic Tote Basket

For those of us who love having an abundance of storage units readily available in our homes, a cube shelf is a great addition, providing perfectly sized cubbies for all your organizational and decluttering needs. Often sold in units with two or more cubbies, these storage shelves are versatile and customizable. You can store items on the sturdy shelves as is, or use fabric storage bins that function like drawers to hold various items. If you can't decide how to store items on a cube shelf, mix and match storage options by adding storage cubes to some cubbies and leaving others as-is. Just as customization is endless, so are the ways you can use a cube shelf. Whether you have an extra one lying around or decide to build a budget-friendly cube shelf yourself, transforming it into shoe storage is easy with a Dollar Tree plastic tote basket. 

If you find yourself with more shoes than you know what to do with, pairing the Plastic Tote Basket With Handles from your local Dollar Tree with an unused cube or an entire cube shelf can help organize and store your shoe collection. Each basket fits at least one pair of shoes, and, depending on the size of the cubes, each one may hold up to two baskets, creating abundant, organized storage for even the most extravagant shoe collections. Simply buy as many tote baskets as you need, put a pair of shoes in each, and place the basket with shoes into an empty cube. Just like that, you'll have turned a regular cube shelf into a shoe cubby. 

At $1.50 a piece, these colorful tote baskets are practically a storage steal. Measuring 12.1 inches by 11.5 inches by 8.97 inches, the small but mighty plastic storage basket can fit one to two pairs of shoes, which can help eliminate shoe clutter throughout your mudroom, front entryway, or closet. For added organization (and style), these plastic tote baskets come in three colors: blue, pink, and green. You can designate one of the three colors to a shoe type, place each corresponding pair of shoes in its assigned color, and make it easier to find the perfect pair of shoes to tie an outfit together.

Dollar Tree's colorful tote baskets can make organizing and finding individual pairs of shoes a lot easier than storing them in standard, boring storage bins. While you could probably fit more footwear in standard collapsible bins or plastic storage containers, pairs of shoes can get separated in these larger containers, making it harder to locate their partners without taking the entire bin out and digging through it. Dollar Tree's small tote baskets are perfect for storing one to two pairs of shoes, pre-paired so they're ready to go when you are. While the $1.50 smaller tote baskets are ideal for running shoes, sandals, slippers, or pumps, Dollar Tree does sell bigger tote baskets in its Dollar Tree Plus section that can be used to accommodate taller shoes like boots.
