DIY Drying Rack

Living in Costa Rica it is sometimes difficult to find the materials that you can easily find in the United States. A Drying rack for my classroom was one of those things. I considered getting one from the States and bringing it down but I looked on line and the prices with shipping and everything was out of the budget. So, time to get creative. What I did was buy 3 boxes of these wire cubes...

...and started assembling.

So I followed the instructions to make 5 cubes (with the top open). Then with all the extra pieces, I slid them in each square and used 3 zip ties to hold each one in place (one on the right, one on the left, and one in the back). I wanted a bunch of thin slots and a few bigger ones at the top for 3D projects. I ended up leaving the bottom one open as well for cleaning purposes. 

I love it and use is all the time! (Sometimes not even use it for drying things but just organizing papers or student's projects haha).
