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.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up. Photo: IKEA.com SKÅDIS pegboard system See it on IKEA.com But no matter how perfect a system, you can trust IKEA hackers to improve on the SKÅDIS. And they’ve settle these 5 issues you may have faced with the handy IKEA pegboard. Read on for their fixes. 5 IKEA SKÅDIS issues and fixes #1 Expensive hooks? You’ll need quite a number of hooks and accessories to fill up the SKÅDIS pegboard, and Kenyer was shocked at how quickly they all added up. So he figured he could make his own hooks to save cost.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...

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. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
