Get this to warm up your next grocery shopping trip

Brilliant $0.99 shopping cart cup holder!

I came up with this IKEA hack and I get a ton of comments every time I pull it out. It’s pretty simple but effective.

Basically I never go anywhere without a hot beverage.

But when I go grocery shopping it is a real pain. For some reason, grocery shopping is a two handed sport.

So I thought there has got to be a product I can put into the buggy to hold my coffee while I shop.

I looked on Amazon and couldn’t find anything. Then it hit me……

I remembered seeing a SUNNERSTA container at IKEA and I thought it would be perfect. And it is!

I highly recommend keeping one (or two, in case your partner get jealous) in your car with your reusable bags.

Here is my shopping cart cup holder in action.

#1 Back of door makeup organizer

As she just moved in and did not yet have a makeup table, Ling decided to repurpose the space behind her wardrobe door. She positioned the SUNNERSTA rail and containers below the mirror to organize her makeup.

#2 Kitchen Door Storage

The goal was simple — to utilise as much space as possible in the cupboard under the sink. And make things they use a lot (dishwasher and washing tablets) more accessible. Ryan always liked solutions that were attached to the door, so here’s what he did to the kitchen cabinet door.

#3 Desk tidy

A simple space-saving desk tidy / organiser fitted along the side of the study table. All ready to fill with pens and pencils etc. Seen here are the BYGEL containers but the idea works just as well with the SUNNERSTA containers. See the desk tidy.

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave.
