Linen house made of cardboard
You can buy a ready-made laundry organizer in a store, but it’s much nicer and more creative to make it yourself. In addition, this is a less expensive way to obtain a case.
Boxes for storing linen can be textile or cardboard. This is an individual preference of each individual person.
A simple master class on making an organizer for underwear from cardboard will inspire you to create this storage unit.
To create the product we will need any boxes. It could be shoe packaging, household appliances or toys.
The size of the future linen chest depends on the place where it will be located. Based on this, we choose a suitable box or glue it ourselves.
Also for work you will need:
- Paper for decorating the box: old wallpaper, newspapers, pages of a music book, sheets from glossy magazines, colored paper;
- Long ruler. It is more convenient to use than a short-length tool;
- Brush and PVA glue;
- Stapler with staples;
- Simple pencil;
- A utility knife or sharp scissors.
Let's start tinkering. First, let's think about how many things will be stored in this box. The number of cells into which we will divide the organizer depends on this.
Based on the size of the cabinet where the linen chest will be stored, we determine the height of the box. Measure out what you need and trim off the excess with scissors.
Don't throw away the rest of the box. They are useful for making partitions. The lid will also serve this purpose. Optimal size cells - 7x7 cm or 8x8 cm. Guided by these data, we mark the box and cut out blanks for the walls.
We decorate the details at our discretion. A box covered with old newspaper clippings or sheets of music will look impressive. For a classic, simple design, you can choose plain wallpaper.
The inside of the box itself is glued to match the partitions. It is better to choose wear-resistant paper for decoration. A bright and contrasting design with several colors and paper textures will look interesting and unusual. It is better to start work from the sides and finish with the bottom.
We decorate the outer side of the organizer with scrap paper, fabric or thick packaging material. Small allowances and folds made from paper of a different quality and color look beautiful.
We assemble a grid from blanks for cells. To do this, we make cuts on the parts to the middle of the height and connect them as shown in the photo.
We insert the grille into the box and secure it with a stapler or glue. The product is ready!

Ribbon organizer
If for some reason the storage for stockings and tights made from boxes turns out to be short-lived, you can make a more practical design– an organizer made of fabric.
The advantages of this product are that it is durable, takes up minimal space in the closet, is mobile and fits on any shelf.
To work, you need a strong, bright fabric for the base; lower density fabric of a different color for partitions; padding polyester; decorative edging.
Let's move on to step by step instructions. Cut out two rectangles. One is made of padding polyester, and the second is made of fabric for the base. Their dimensions should be smaller than the area of the box so that the future box does not wrinkle. We sew on the long storage partitions. To do this, rectangles of contrasting fabric are sewn onto the base. They are the same in length as the base, and twice as wide as the walls of the box. We sew the blanks in the middle, folding them so that the seam is on the inside. You will get a double partition.
Let's draw the wall based on the number of cells needed.
Sew the rectangles, indenting from the edge by 1.5 cm.
We sew transverse partitions from fabric folded in half. Turn out, iron.
We sew small pieces together.
We sew the sides for the future organizer and attach them to the product.
We decorate the top and ends of the finished box with braid.
The finished organizer can be used for its intended purpose.

DIY laundry organizer: master class
Making such an organizer for storing underwear and socks with your own hands is very simple. And its cost is at least two times lower than that of the cheapest Chinese analogue.
You will need: a shoe box, a ruler, a pen, glue, scissors and paper for decoration.
How to make the organizer yourself, see the step-by-step instructions with photos.
The laundry box was picked up. Set the lid aside for now. You'll need it a little later.
- First, decide on the size of your underwear drawer. Think about how many things you will place in it. This determines what size box for underwear to choose and how many cells to divide it into.
- Measure the height of the future organizer on the side walls. Focus on the parameters of the cabinet in which you will store it.
- Mark the cut lines.
- Cut off the excess.
- Make a box from the lid and leftovers internal partitions. Calculate how many blanks you will need. Based on the calculation optimal area cells - 7-8 cm2.
Make the height of the partitions equal to the height of the box or slightly less. They will be 2-3 mm shorter in length than the box itself. Then assembled underwear or socks will fit freely into the cells.
Now these blanks need to be decorated. In our case, we used gift wrapping paper with an interesting “crumpled” texture. But, in order to save money, you can get by with ordinary white A4 sheets. - Cover the cardboards on all sides.
- Send them under the press for a while. While they are drying, start finishing the box.
Start from the inside of the sides.
- Then decorate the bottom.
Oracal, scrapbooking paper or fabric are suitable for external decor. The material must be durable to withstand long-term use. We took thick wrapping paper in a contrasting color. - Start from the sides. Make an allowance on both sides of 3-4 cm.
Do not glue the paper without “trying it on” - this is fraught with errors and unevenness. - Bend the sides - it will be more convenient. Make cuts along the fold lines in the corners of the box so that the paper lies flat.
- Now you can glue.
- Finally, decorate the base of the box.
- Now let's return to the planks that have dried under pressure. Mark on them the location of future cells.
- On long pieces, make marks on the side where the glued edge is visible, and on short pieces, on the opposite side. Then, when assembled, the grille will look neat.
- Using the marks, make cuts to the middle of the cardboard. The width of the cut should be approximately equal to the thickness of the plank.
- Now assemble the grill and insert it into the box. Our underwear and socks organizer is ready to use.
The result is worth the effort. Such an exemplary order will cause admiration even for an inveterate perfectionist.
