After reading this post, you will be able to make your own yoga mat holder using a variety of techniques. These will not only help you create a storage space but also zen up your yoga area.
DIY Yoga Mat Shelf
- Take plain paper and use it as a template in order to create the basic design for your yoga mat holder.
- On this paper, make a half-heart-shaped structure and cut the outline.
- Now, take your wooden board and place this template on the board.
- After this, trace the outline and remove the template from the board.
- You can also tape the template to the wood while outlining to ensure that the paper does not move during the process.
- Using a jigsaw, cut these outlines.
- Now, take three long wooden boards, preferably 40 x 15 inches long, and place your cutouts on the sides of these boards.
- Using wood adhesive glue, place these cutouts. You may also use a driller and screws to ensure that these are attached.
- While the glue dries, clamps will help keep the wood base in place.
- Now, you will have a box-shaped structure, open from one side.
- You may also use a stainer to give a finishing color to the wood.
- Once your wood stain has dried, you may use nails to fix the yoga mat holder to the wall.
- Make sure the fitments are sturdy enough not to let your holder fall down.
DAV Yoga Mat Rack
- In order to build the frame for your yoga mat holder, take the 20-inch side braces and attach eight-and-a-half-inch braces between the longest ones.
- This should now look like a rectangular box with two short legs.
- Attach this frame-like structure using nails or wood glue. This will complete your basic frame.
- Repeat this process in order to have another frame structure.
- Using another wood piece, combine these two frames. Now, you will have an almirah-like structure.
- Mark the inner side of the tabletop this should be about 24 inches x 14 and a half inches,
- Mark the lower side of the shelf. You can do this by putting the table on top and tracing the legs.
- Use a jigsaw to cut them out.
- In order to make the storage shelves, use 1 inch of 3-inch wood and cut eight and a half inches long pieces.
- Trace of a circle ornate of the board, leaving at least 1 inch at the bottom.
- Cut this half circle using a jigsaw.
- You can use sandpaper to smooth the corners.
- Attach these to the inner side of the frame.
- Use wood paint or stain in order to add color to your rack.
- Let it dry, following which you can use your yoga mat holder.
DIY Yoga Mat Rope Shelf
- Construct a shelf of suitable size.
- Mark 4 points (one on each corner), leaving some space from the corners and sides.
- Using a drill, make holes in these marked points.
- Now, take a rope and cut them in equal lengths.
- The preferable size for these groups can be 20 inches each.
- Using glue, secure the ends of these ropes.
- Pass the rope through the holes that you made.
- Make sure that you pass two ends of a rope to one side of the holes only.
- Secure by knotting the end of these ropes.
- This will secure your hanging ropes to your shells.
- Using a drill and screws, hang the shelf to the wall.
- With this, you will be ready to use your yoga mat holder.
DIY Yoga Mat Display Rack
- Take ten wooden pieces, preferably 8×7 inches long.
- Take other pieces of wood 3×7 inches long.
- On each of the long pieces of wood, glue the smaller pieces in such a way the shorter pieces stand on the edge.
- On your choice’s display wall, mark points to determine where your open rack will be placed.
- Make sure that you have marked these points in a pyramid-like structure to add definition to your display rack.
- Using a drill and screws, secure these pieces in their marked positions.
- Before proceeding, you can also paint or stain these wooden structures. This will also protect them from water erosion.
- Once you have secured these wooden pieces in position, your open rack will be ready.
DIY Leather Strap Yoga Mat Holder
- Take too long pieces of leather. To make this organizer, you may also reuse old belts or pieces of cloth.
- Secure the ends of the leather by folding and gluing inwards.
- Once the glue has dried on the leather straps, punch holes.
- These holes will secure the ends of the straps together using rivets.
- Make sure that you leave half to 1 inch of space from one end of the strap.
- After securing the rivets, you will have a loop-like structure.
- Repeat these steps with the other strap.
- Now, on the wall of your choice, mark two points at appropriate distances.
- These points will determine where your straps will be placed on the wall.
- Using a drill and screws, secure straps.
- Make sure that the screw passes through the half to 1-inch free leather that you left above the rivets.
- With this, your yoga mat wall hanging holder will be ready to use.
