MacGyver Challenge: Share Your Best IKEA Hack

Hello, fellow Lifehackers! Time for another MacGyver Challenge. What's a MacGyver Challenge, you ask? Simple. We give you an object and you show us what cool things you can do with it. Our editors pick the best submissions and our favorite will win an autographed copy of the Lifehacker book!

Ready? Yes. Yes, you are.

This Week's MacGyver Challenge: Share Your Best IKEA Hack

This week, we're showing some love to IKEA. We've featured a lot of IKEA hacks on the site in the past, including ways to use an IKEA tissue box to curb front door clutter, turn an IKEA bookshelf into a bench, and build an attractive monitor stand with IKEA parts.

Now, it's your turn. Share your best hack using IKEA products. Your hack can use other materials, of course, but the IKEA stuff should be the defining element. Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. And don't be afraid to get creative!

How to Submit Your Entry

Make sure to follow these instructions when you submit your entry:

• Post your entry below or send it to challenge@lifehacker.com with the subject MacGyver Challenge: IKEA. If you post your entry below and need to include more than one image, just reply to your own comment or host your extra pics on a free, quick image-hosting site like imgur and link out to your gallery.
• We will accept entries up through Sunday night, March 24 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time
• We will showcase the best submissions and announce our favorite on Monday, March 25.

So grab that leather flight jacket, comb your mullet, and start channeling those MacGyver vibes. Here's a little theme music to put you in the mood. And don't forget to check back every week for a new challenge. We'll be alternating between Hacker Challenges and MacGyver Challenges.

Standard Gawker contest rules apply, so be sure to check them out before submitting your entry.
