Making a DIY shower caddy can seem overwhelming at first, but when you break it down, it's really not that difficult. About 7 years ago, I took all my shower product clutter and organized it into a homemade rack using PVC pipe from the hardware store. Sadly I didn’t document the making process. However, there are a lot of other cool, cheap and smart projects out there you can do yourself.
If you add up all the clutter that happens in a bathroom over the course of a week, it can be ridiculous and embarrassing. Why let your hard-earned money (to pay the month’s rent) go to waste by piling your shower goodies into cluttered, unorganized piles? A homemade shower caddy will help solve this problem and keep you neat, organized and satisfied with life.
