IKEA SKÅDIS 14 1/4″ x 22″ White Pegboards at https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr... — I used three on each side for a total of nine pegboards
IKEA SKÅDIS Hooks at https://amzn.to/31NDwqr and https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr...

(Optional) Saw (hand saw or electric saw) — we used it to cut three of the pegboards so they fit at the bottom of each side
Screwdriver or drill
(Optional) Piece of 1/4″ or 1/2″ plywood (16 1/2″ wide by 58″ tall)

How to Make the Craft Vinyl Storage Organizer

Step 1: Assemble your Kallax storage unit. We put ours together in about an hour, maybe a little less. It wasn't difficult.

Step 2: Cut a piece of plywood to be 16 1/2" wide by 58" tall. This wood will go on the back of your Kallax storage unit so you can mount pegboards there. Of course, you can skip this step. Turn your Kallax unit over and put the plywood on the back of it. Screw the plywood to the Kallax unit using screws just long enough to go through the plywood and into the unit. We screwed it in at the top, bottom, and middle.

Step 3: It's time to add the pegboards! We followed the directions that came with each of the Skadis pegboards to attach them to the sides of the Kallax unit. You can fit two full pegboards on each side, with room to spare. I wanted my pegboards to go all the way down each side, so we cut three of the pegboards to be 14" high to fit at the bottom of each side. Repeat until you have all three sides covered with pegboards!

Step 4: Now it's time to the casters, if you've chosen to put yours on wheels. You can attach the casters directly to the bottom of your Kallax unit. Once the casters are secured on the bottom of your craft vinyl storage unit, turn it right side up and make sure everything seems stable.

Step 5: Now the fun begins! Use the IKEA SKÅDIS Hooks, Letter Holders, and Elastic Bands in whatever combinations work best for your vinyl collection. We used the hooks on one side, the letter holders on the second side, and the elastic bands on the third side so you could see how well they worked to hold rolls of craft vinyl!

My favorite of the three types of vinyl storage are the Skadis hooks, because they hold more vinyl and are a touch easier to put the vinyl in and out of. Of course, that means it's also a touch easier for the vinyl to get knocked off if you brush it, so keep that in mind if you intend to put your craft vinyl storage unit in a high traffic area.

For the inside the craft vinyl storage unit, you could store even more vinyl. Or you can put your related accessories in there. I chose to put my Cricut EasyPresses in the top two cubbies, my Cricut Infusible Ink collection in the third cubbie, and a box with pressing mats in the fourth cubbie!

I mostly have rolls of vinyl, so I preferred to store my vinyl on the hooks on the sides. But if you also have flat vinyl sheets, I recommend you check out my 12x12 paper storage tower — you can combine the two ideas to make shelves for your flat vinyl sheets on the inside and store your vinyl rolls on the outside.
