We have a small kitchen, and I was in desperate need of a pantry. We spent just $11 on supplies, and I love the result. So much storage!

Need a pantry? Pick a place that you can hang shelving for your food. We chose the wall leading to our basement, since the door is just off the kitchen.
Buy your supplies. We chose inexpensive over the door hangers that could be screwed to the wall. We also bought some hooks to hang things.
Hang your shelving first, since it takes up the most space. Make sure that you measure so that you can fit the most into your small space.
Add a few hooks for extra storage. We found our hooks at Dollar Tree and they fit perfectly into the spaces that were too small for a shelf. We use them to hang lunch boxes, reusable shopping bags, etc. These would also be great for hanging Dollar Tree baskets.
Enjoy! This has worked so well for us! We did something similar in our homeschool room for activitie, but that's a different post.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Over the Door Shelves (Staples or Target or Walmart)
- Hooks (Dollar Tree or a Hardware Store)

Well, I am sorry to say I cringe when I see this type of shelving. Not only because it can only hold so much but mainly because it can be quite a mess if one of those food products gets a hole. I would like to suggest maybe placing sturdy cardboard (or something) at the bottom of each shelf to minimize any "disasters". That or maybe place a plastic bag to cover the bottom half of the containers.

Have a question about this project?
Not really a? But I was antique shopping and found a old Jack Daniels tin and made it my little pantry for my semi hold little cans of veggie perfectly.
Just to tell you you could have made shelves out of lumber put a edge on them
and had more storage just build up from the bottom ledge which u already use and now take those shelf thing white and screw them onto your wood shelbed
BAMM ! More storage
Lucky you to have a wall that wasn't already occupied. I have a pantry, It's just about deep enough for two small soup cans and approximately 10 inchs wide. The space allows for two shelves. With all your wall space I would have put up wooden shelves.
