How to hang an under cabinet bread basket

Want to get your loaves of bread up and off the countertop? Here’s a simple hack for how to hang an under the cabinet bread basket!

When we first moved into our condo, we tried to move in some of the exact organization solutions that worked in our prior apartment.

One of those things was this basket. It is an “under shelf” basket an is designed to hang from a horizontal shelf to add additional storage without having to use any tools or do any DIY.

It worked perfectly inside a cabinet at our apartment, but in the new condo, the cabinets have a piece of wood down the middle that prevents us from sliding it on.

So, we came up with another idea- turn it into a hanging bread basket.

If you are looking to create a hanging bread basket under a cabinet, this could be the perfect solution for you!

How to hang a DIY under shelf basket

STEP 1: Choose a spot for it

We had a perfect spot under one of the cupboards. I found some hooks in the toolbox that weren’t being used and measured the space to be sure that we could fit the basket under the cupboard.

STEP 2: Pre-drill Holes

Use a drill to drill a small hole in the underside of the cabinet where you want each hook to go. You will want at least 4 hooks for the 4 corners of the basket. We did a total of 6, 3 on each side.

Pre-drilling holes is not required, but will make it easier to add the hooks and less likely that the wood will split when the hook is being screwed in.

STEP 3: Add the Hooks

Screw a hook into each hole. Line up the hooks so they are all facing the same way.

STEP 4: Hang the basket

Slide the bars of the basket into the hooks. Make sure it feels secure and you are ready to add your bread and baked goods!

It looked good, but since the prongs didn’t go all the way to the back of the basket, when you put some bread in the back, it drooped. In order to fix that, I attached a mini Command hook to the wall and clipped in the back of the basket.
