Letter Bin Organizer

Materials:

This would be a great project to get rid of some scraps that might be piling up in your garage/workshop and make a cool mismatched wood letter bin.

  • 1/4 sheet of 1/2″ plywood or mdf
  • 1/4 sheet of 3/4″ plywood or mdf

  • If you plan on painting or staining the Back it will be easiest to do it BEFORE you attach the bins.

  • Attach the bottom bin flush with the bottom of the Back.
  • Then use a 4 1/2″ spacer to find the proper location of the next bins.

  • Attach bins using 1 3/4″ brad nails or #6 wood screws.  (4 screws per bin is sufficient.)

Either prop letter bin against the wall or hang with heavy duty picture hangers.

I’ve designed them to be large enough to store file folders or magazines so they are multipurpose letter bin organizers.

I almost called them “Letter – file folder – magazine bin organizers” but that name is just way too long.  😉

Built it, and enjoy!
