Worx Over the door shoe holder

Creating a DIY over-the-door shoe organizer is a practical way to maximize space and keep your footwear organized. Here's a step-by-step guide to building your own:

Materials Needed:

• Sturdy fabric (such as canvas or denim)
• Clear vinyl or mesh fabric for pockets
• Bias tape or fabric for edging
• Sewing machine and thread
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• Over-the-door hooks or grommets for hanging
• Optional: Decorative elements like fabric paint or patches

Instructions:

1. Measure the Door:

   • Determine the width and height of your door to ensure the organizer fits properly. Standard doors are typically 24 to 36 inches wide.

2. Cut the Base Fabric:

   • Cut a piece of sturdy fabric to match the door's dimensions, adding an extra inch to each side for hemming. For example, for a 24-inch wide door, cut the fabric to 26 inches wide.

3. Create Pocket Panels:

   • Decide on the number and size of pockets based on your shoe collection.
   • Cut clear vinyl or mesh fabric into rectangles for each pocket, ensuring they're large enough to accommodate your shoes.

4. Hem Pocket Edges:

   • Fold and sew a small hem on the top edge of each pocket panel to prevent fraying and provide a finished look.

5. Attach Pockets to Base:

   • Lay out the pocket panels on the base fabric, spacing them evenly.
   • Pin the sides and bottom of each pocket in place.
   • Sew the sides and bottom edges of the pockets to the base fabric, leaving the top open.

6. Add Edging:

   • Sew bias tape or fabric strips around the perimeter of the organizer to conceal raw edges and add durability.

7. Install Hanging Mechanism:

   • Attach grommets to the top corners of the organizer and use over-the-door hooks to hang it.
   • Alternatively, sew fabric loops at the top and hang them directly on hooks.

8. Customize (Optional):

   • Decorate your organizer with fabric paint, patches, or other embellishments to match your room's decor.

9. Hang and Fill:

   • Place the organizer over your door using the chosen method.
   • Insert your shoes into the pockets, organizing them as desired.
