Artist Hack: Ultra-cheap D.I.Y Print Rack

4/5/2015

6 Comments

 
Dear fellow artist - want a rack for your prints but don't want to spend $$$ in the art store? Build your own for about $6!
Picture
What you'll need: 
1. This $5.99 Laundry Basket from Ikea
2. Some stiff cardboard, tape, and a pair of scissors
3. An old blanket or throw or something similar

Click on the first image below and step through the gallery - the instructions are in the captions.
Ok mine's a little crummy looking, but it works really well for storing prints in the back of my studio. You can use your imagination to make your's look prettier, more professional, or artistic. Enjoy!

Share this #ArtistHack with your artist friends!

This is amazing! These things cost so much money - and this is such a quick/simple/customizable version. Amazing!
