text: Do you have a closet in your entryway? Instead of having all those boots end up in a pile on the floor, try a boot tray equipped with a cabinet handle and wheels. Pull out the tray, line up the boots and push it back into the closet, out of sight.
  Head to a discount store or garage sale and pick up a plastic tray. Add some medium-size stones for drainage and you have an instant boot tray. To keep the stones in place and give the tray a handsome finished look, build a simple frame around the tray.
  Here's another boot tray that uses rocks to help drain the water from wet and muddy footwear. This DIYer used a scrap piece of clear plastic, and heated it in an oven to mold the small lip on the edges of the tray. The lip keeps the rocks from falling off.
  Try using an old metal baking sheet as a boot tray. Depending on the size of your entryway, you can use multiple trays lined up in a row—maybe one for each member of the family.
  Instead of using rocks to help boots drain, use seashells! This DIYer used a $1 mat and lined it with shells and sand dollars from her collection, along with a few rocks to fill in the space.
