I am impressed that someone figured this out.
I make boxes from hardware cloth (some people call it “wire mesh”). I fill them with rocks, stones, pebbles, lava rocks and then use as door stops, water diverters, etc.
To close mine up I lace them together with wire. Copper, aluminum, or stainless steel wire is good if you want to avoid the rust problem.

Thank goodness I found this video. I've been tearing my hair out trying to find wire baskets for my garage that weren't "decorative" but would fit between the studs and shelf supports. This means I don't have to spend lots of money for fussy stuff that I had to settle for.

Yes Madam. Thats 1 of the best things that we were used to do in the past..in good times..was a simple life.May Allah(God) bless all our Grand parents🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

This is gold 🪙. Had some extra mesh & now I know what to do with it. Thanks diy mommy.

Just what I needed! I'm redoing a dresser with a missing drawer, so now I can make a basket to fit. Thank you! I'm going to make a fabric liner with drawstring ties also. It will cover most of the wire edges.

Came across this video months ago and finally finished a spice rack using this technique. Thank you! Afterward I went over the edges with a hot glue gun to cover the wires that were poking up.

I love the Mail on the wall idea for this project! It's so cute. I am just eating up all your fabulous ideas today!

[ciaartin]

Thank you so much. I have been looking for this tutorial. Want to make wire door baskets for a narrow bathroom closet door. 😊

[CAJuhiTilwani]

Oh I can't thank you enough for this... I'm renovating my house and this is a great fit in idea!

[chrigerosen]

Awesome idea!! I love nice wire baskets, they just make a home look organized. Had no idea how simple it is to make these yourself! Cant wait to try making our very own with my daughter (she is 13..we so got this!)! TY:))

[FortheLoveofOrganizing]

These are so darling! I love that they are completely customizable. I'm going to give this a try for our home office and will be sure to give you a shout out and link! 💞

[OneUnifiedHome]

This is a fabulous idea!! I am so sharing this on my facebook page! I just subscribed and I'm so excited to binge watch your channel tonight after the kids go to bed! 💜 haha 😊

[naomirankin]

thank you! i love that it is so customizable!

[WildlingAcre]

Great idea! I'll have to try it out sometime. I bet you could also make dividers in the baskets with the scraps for a more versatile office organizer.

[susiwakeman]

Absolutely fantastic, thank you so much xx

You can use those yellow handle aviation snips for wire if you want- but cutting a lot over time will damage those snips. Actual wire cutters are designed for cutting round wire.

Oo add foam pads to protect surface and maybe stain a wood piece to fit inside. This is my goal haven’t tried it yet. I want to make some to hold towels so metal mesh needs to be sturdy enough and idk if what I need will be maleable enough to do this folding over trick.

[SuperMixedd]

Thanks for the great lifehack. One question: what's your hardware cloth's gauge (wire thickness)?
I want to buy one that isn't too malleable, but since nowadays the shopping is done through the internet, I can't feel it myself.
