OutlandishLady Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 OK, I want to share this with all you soapers who are like me, and don't have a lot of space to store your soaps while they cure. This won't work for the Pros who need more space, but for a hobbyist like me this works very well. I bought these epoxy-coated cubes at Wal-Mart for $7.99, the cable ties for $.89. You can get a larger set of cubes at Bed Bath & Beyond on eBay. I assembled one square using the included "corners", and then added a shelf in the middle with cable ties.Cheap & super easy! And I'm going to add another "level" when I need it. You will have four "squares" left over from the Wal-Mart box. Hope this helps someone!Assembled:[ATTACH]8265[/ATTACH][ATTACH]8268[/ATTACH]Parts from Wal-Mart:[ATTACH]8266[/ATTACH]Secure Cabled Corner:[ATTACH]8267[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 GREAT idea Malinda!! I still have NO WHERE to put anything like that though. Maybe on top of the microwave?? LOLI think my DH just needs to move out or something so I can take over the whole house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet there is a way to hang those on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 You probably could attach it to a wall, but I would definitely cable-tie ALL of the edges & corners first as I don't think the connectors provided would work against the gravity.

pamperme Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Maybe put a wood shelf up under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I have some of those that I used for my scrapping paper, but I took them down. I want to have my dad or dh build me a wooden frame with slots in it to slide the grids into, that way I can pull out what I need.Great job!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruba Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That is a GREAT idea!! I was wondering what I was going to do with my wire cubes that just didn't work out for the kids toys like I had hoped!! Yeah I love recycling my "junk". We have those wire shelves that they out in newer homes (house came with them) in our pantry and when DH gets around to making wood shelves instead I will use those too!!Great suggestion, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Luvcandletarts2 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 You can buy a grid that attaches to the wall and you can attach any sizes of these cubes or any shelves onto. Check your local home improvement store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
