Adding shelves to cabinets with NO TOOLS!

Hello, welcome back to Call the Clutter Fairy, where I help you free yourself from clutter so you can live stress-free today. I wanted to follow up on the pantry organization video I did not long ago and show you some really cheap and ridiculously easy ways to add some

shelves

without having to need one of these behind me. I added some quick

shelves

and I'll show you exactly how I made them without drilling or screws without damaging anything. This is perfect if you are renting, so let's get started. I started, so I'm going to show you the inside of one of my bookshelves just because my kitchen

cabinets

don't have any.

I don't even have kitchen

cabinets

good enough to show you how to make one on the inside, so this was the best solution. I've gotten so many requests for under the kitchen sink, that's what I'm going to work on next, so stay tuned for an interior under the sink solution similar to this one, but the first thing I'll do is measure the inside. and determine how many shelves I would want, so this is always kind of dead space for me. I like that it's a backdrop for you, but I still want to show you this concept now that many cabinets already have these holes drilled into the sides. and if that's the case, the easiest thing you can do is get more of these little pegs that fit right inside that hole and go to Lowe's Home Depot and cut a piece of melamine to fit there.

I know this sounds. intimidating but you can usually do this for about $8, they have giant sheets of melamine so if you get the measurements right you can get one long sheet and get three to four shelves with 120 dollars per piece of wood so If your cabinet already has the holes just take out one of your existing shelves and take it with you it won't be easier the Amin mill already comes with rounded tips on the ends it's already white sometimes you can get it in the woods and they will cut it for you it's there without additional cost so this is something I do for my clients very often for $20 we can add storage to match just by

adding

pegs but if you don't have pegs this is what we do so here are the different types of wood.

I was looking at I went to Lowe's today because it's the closest to my house and I measured my little bookshelf and you always want to measure it all the way because here's this weird thing right here at the top it's 28 and a half inches but as I go down it starts to narrow right here it's closer to 28 and 1/3 why is it down here 28 and a quarter and then when I get to the bottom it goes back to 28 and a half? I can't tell you how often this happens when I measure the inside of a cabinet, especially a closet, if you add shelves, so not only should you measure on the front, but also save yourself the tension measurement on the fat to make sure it's better to go ahead and cut a square that If we have a little wiggle room in one of the corners, so it's too tight, measure the four areas you'll want to measure from side to side on the back and front and then we can decide what the distance is. because here I just wanted to add two shelves real quick, so are you ready?

Here's the actual time, so the first thing I did was I went to Lowe's and I found this six foot board that was eight dollars and I cut them into pieces that were eight inches and I had them cut a piece that was 28 and 1/4 because my shelf here was a little bit crooked, so once I finished them, I have the corners and you can see the edges are already white, which means you don't have to paint it, but you can. It has a pretty good finish and is so strong and durable that you can paint it any color you want.

You can even cover it with shelf paper or if you want to do something fancy with wrapping paper, you can do that. something similar to decoupage or you know, I like that spray on adhesive, you can do that so one side is very square and the other side is a little rounded, so I want my rounded edges to show, are you ready for the really difficult? just set it up right now because it's Lowe's and Home Depot, they mess up a little bit so look I didn't really care so like I said I'm going to pick the nicer side and present it having that. rounded area, that's my support, if I'm worried about something moving, I could take a command strip and just stick it in here and press it and that will never move, these are my supports, so I take the 20 28 and a quarter ready, that's a Skip my first shelf is already this quick, now the second shelf I made is a mini shelf because I wanted to make something that you could do inside pantries or in cabinets where you have overhead space but can't access things from the same way. concept, except this time I had a five and a half inch wide board, this one was 8 feet long and again I just lifted the supports on the right side against the end, to the other side and then I had one that was 28 and a a quarter that fast, so now I have the original rack that came here and I have these Giants pants with nothing in them and in those two or three minutes I was able to get this nice, sturdy rack and an extra rack on top of it very quickly.

Now I can show you how I would go ahead and set that up so that if you had canned goods or something like that, you could put the stuff in the back and still have access to it and you could still have the shorteez on top for completely easy access. Now you can do this in so many different areas of your home. You can definitely do this in a craft area. If you have a cabinet or shelf like this where it just doesn't work for you. You want to have access to small things. You have bigger things.

In front of it, making a narrow shelf in the back is a perfect way to have access to everything, but especially in bathrooms and kitchens, this is a quick and inexpensive way to add extra shelves and you guys, I added three extra shelves, I have another . here that I'm actually going to use in my house, I'm going to try it under the sink like we talked about, but I made these three shelves for about eight dollars each without drilling without having to have any carpentry skills and it matches, I didn't have to do anything else if you I like this idea.

I have a couple more videos that I found online and I have the link to the descriptions below. The first was the h2o bungalow and this is just

adding

to it. the existing shelf, if you have a cabinet that has holes in it so you can just add pegs, then if that's the system that appealed to you the most and you already have it set up, check out that video, the second one was designing your space and this one looked more like what I just did here with setting up the sides and a piece on the top, so check out his video and the third one which was a little more RV friendly but still along the lines of setting up a bracket, this one He is the right one. that had hooks so you could actually anchor something and make it super stable, that was VR creativity, so check out all three, but I'd love to hear what you think of this system, like I said.

I'm really impressed with how quick it was with no

tools

and just adding a command strip on the side here and adhering it to the side of your cabinet, this support piece will never move and the nice thing is if you want to move it you just pull on it . tab and it's clean and again no

tools
