How To Make a Frugal Drying Rack for Paintings!

Description

I have been doing a lot of oil painting lately which means I have a lot of wet paintings covering every surface in my studio. To combat this I made a drying rack with one of my favorite storage solutions: wire cube shelving units: https://link.amazon/B0910bVGf *I use these type of modular shelves all over my home, from partitioning off large areas in closets, to making custom shelving under my art island to even gardening tasks. I have been using them for years and they still seem to be the same size!

Supplies (affiliate links used)
Wire cube shelf kit: https://link.amazon/B0910bVGf (you will have plenty of leftover pieces for other projects or you can make a huge drying rack!)
Cable ties: https://link.amazon/B07t1ZBfO

Directions:
1. Use 4 grids and 8 connecting disks to make an open box.
2. Use 4 zip ties (2 on each size) to attach a grid to make a shelf. Work from the bottom up and attach a shelf on every row of wire to maximize the shelf.
*If desired you can make a larger rack. I recommend building the shell first and then adding shelves to all cube in the bottom before building up so you can reach all of the sides.
*you can cut cardboard or use canvas panels to slide on the shelves to hold smaller paintings and maximize the space. You can put a cloth over the entire thing if you are a dusty project going on in your studio too.
