Over-door shelf for skinny pantry door?

[Beartracks]

We're wanting to relocate our spices to an over-the-door shelf in our pantry, but the door is only 11" wide and I'm not finding anything less than 12" (e.g. Amazon, Google...). It probably needs to be no wider than 10" so that the shelf will clear the door frame during opening/ closing. Does anyone know if such a skinny shelf exists?

1. Just measured mine and they are 12 inches wide, so sorry, can't help. Good luck

3. Couldn't you just cut a piece of pine to make it fit?

8. Over the door, the kind that hangs from the top of the door.

You must be thinking... Just build one and attach it to the door?

Thought about cutting one down... Notwithstanding i may not have the right saw for the job, doing so would also eliminate one the hooks on the top.

6. Most home supply stores will cut a piece of wood to order. I also suggest placing a piece of

square or half-round molding along the front edge of your shelf just to help hold items on the shelf!

11. I was hoping to find a ready-made solution, due to my procrastinate-y nature.

7. I have some that are 11 1/4 but that won't help you.

I've had them for many years. Think I probably got them at one of those storage/packaging stores.

I found a couple on Wayfair under 12" but they're 11" so still won't help.

10. Well, the door is probably about 11.5, but being so close to that width...

... the shelf would have to have very little depth in order to swing past the door frame.

Hadn't checked Wayfair...

12. what about a couple of shower caddies?

you would have to put in a nail/hook/screw or two (or maybe just bend the top over?) but it would be narrower

13. Oooohhhhh!

That definitely has possibilities!

14. I lost the link

but another possibility is an over the door shoe bag/caddy the kind that are fabric with a dozen or so clear plastic pockets. I saw one that had 3 hooks so it might be able to be trimmed to just 2 hooks and then you would have like 6 or 8 pockets. when I saw that I thought meh but now kind of thinking of it, it might work or be easier to make from scratch if you were inclined.

15. Saw one of those: 3 hooks, 18" wide.

Trimmed down to 2 columns and 2 hooks, it would still be 12" wide.

Spouse liked the pocket idea, though. It was sort of like a shoe caddy, but less bulky, designed for pantry stuff.

16. bet it was the same one

wouldn't be hard to throw together a custom one if you sew or maybe glue or gromet
