Pantry Organizer Tutorial


 DIY Pantry Organizer Tutorial by GYCT

Today we are going to focus a bit on the pantry.  This pantry organizer is one of my more genius ideas.  Not to sound big headed.  But I really love it and it really helps open up space in my very crowded pantry.  It has a similar feel to the Mail Organizer I shared earlier this week.  But this one hangs on the inside of my pantry door.  You can see from the above picture, I end up stuffing all sorts of things in it.  But it is awesome!!!

First, pick some cute fabric.  You'll need a 2 ft by 3 ft piece. (I purchased a home interiors fabric, they are a little thicker), some thick interfacing, and some thick plastic film.

Iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric.

Hem the 4 edges. The two sides should be about 1/4 of an inch and the top and bottom about 2-3 inches.

Now grab all your boxed kitchen items. This will help you to measure.

Measure all the boxes and add about 1/2 on both sides.

Take the film and pin it to the fabric. You can also place the box underneath the film to help make sure everything measures correctly.

Sew down the plastic film. Your machine may stick, so find some paper to help you push it through.

Now fold the bottom and pin it. Sew across.

Notice the paper on the bottom. I used it to help me sew across the bottom.

Then you just pull the paper off. Continue sewing the film to the fabric until you have all the rows you need.

At the top, sew button holes to hang up your organizer.
