My friend recently gave birth to her 7th baby. 7th! What do you get someone who is a pro at the whole parenting thing? Diapers. Always diapers. Her daughter mentioned that she didn’t have a way to store her diapers and wipes so I made her a decorative box to keep everything together.

I love these $5 totes from IKEA. They are huge and hold a ton of stuff! I have 4 of them in the kids’ bathroom and they work great for their hampers. They bring them down every few days and add them to our large laundry bins downstairs. The totes also work great for gift baskets!

I used the same technique to make these that I did for our cubes that we have in our entertainment center. The only difference is that the larger totes that I used in this post are rectangular instead of square. So instead of cutting out sides that are all the same size, I had to adjust the dimensions to accommodate for the longer rectangle lengths.
