DIY Home Storage Bins: A Step-by-Step Guide28

Storage bins are a must-have for any home, but they can be expensive to buy. If you're looking for a more affordable and customizable option, you can easily make your own storage bins at home.

Here's a step-by-step guide to making your own fabric storage bins:

Materials You'll Need:
Fabric (1/2 yard per bin)
Fabric scissors
Measuring tape or ruler
Iron and ironing board
Sewing machine
Thread
Handles (optional)

Instructions:
Cut the fabric. Cut two pieces of fabric that are 18 inches wide by 12 inches high. These will be the sides of the bin.
Iron the fabric. Iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles.
Sew the sides together. Place the two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew them together along the long edges. Leave a 2-inch opening on one side for turning.
Turn the bin right side out. Reach into the opening and turn the bin right side out. Press the seams with an iron.
Topstitch the bin. Topstitch around the top edge of the bin to secure the seams.
Insert the bottom. Cut a piece of fabric that is 18 inches wide by 12 inches high. Fold the fabric in half and iron the crease. Place the fabric inside the bin and align the raw edges with the raw edges of the bin. Sew the bottom in place.
Attach the handles (optional). If desired, attach handles to the sides of the bin. You can use fabric handles, leather handles, or metal handles.

Your DIY fabric storage bins are now complete! You can use them to store anything from toys to laundry to craft supplies.

Tips:
For a more durable bin, use a heavier-weight fabric such as canvas or denim.
To add a decorative touch, you can use fabric with a fun pattern or color.
If you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand-sew the bins using a needle and thread.
You can make the bins any size you want. Just adjust the measurements of the fabric pieces accordingly.
