For some people, the kitchen is the best space in their home. It can be a calm and relaxing area to unwind after a day at work by cooking a meal. On the other hand, it can be a laughter-filled space when you host friends and family. One challenge that comes with most kitchen spaces is keeping those coffee pods organized on a budget. Thankfully, this Dollar Tree jar DIY may be just what you are looking for to keep those coffee pods tidy.

The average coffee pod organizer can set you back about twenty dollars, which is why a trip to the Dollar Tree may be worth your time. Start by looking for these square glass jars with metal lids. If you can't find this exact style, that is okay too. The Dollar Tree's inventory is always changing and this DIY is pretty flexible, so find what speaks to your style. You'll also want to grab something to act as the top handle for this DIY. You could use an old small cabinet knob, purchase some gold mini drawer knobs from Amazon, or grab Crafters Square wood craft cubes from the Dollar Tree. If you don't like the topper at all, you can leave it off.

For this design, you'll also want to purchase some spray paint (or use some you have leftover from another DIY) that matches your kitchen's decor. While you could go with a classic color like black, gold, or silver, you could also be bold and use bright colors. Just make sure to choose something that matches your home so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

Once you have gathered your supplies, creating this project is fairly simple. Unscrew the lids from each of your jars. Then, put your can of spray paint in hot water before painting, and head to a well-ventilated spot with your project on a piece of leftover cardboard to protect the surface beneath it. Next, evenly spray the jar lids and the corresponding number of toppers with your color of choice. Feel free to also paint each lid a different color. Although you will be able to see the contents of the glass jars, sometimes having a color system can make things faster on a busy morning.

After everything has properly dried, hot glue the topper to the center of the jar's lid. Finally, fill each jar with a different type of coffee pod and arrange the glass jars on your countertop or inside the pantry. Don't think this DIY will work for your coffee pod brand? No need to worry. Consider these other stylish DIY Keurig coffee pod storage solutions for tidier countertops.

Of course, these organizers can be used for so many things other than just organizing your coffee pods. Try using them in the bathroom for cotton balls and Q-tips, or place them in a crafting closet to separate crayons from pom poms and buttons. If your kids have an allowance, you could use these jars to store their coins or show them how to separate their earnings into savings and spending. With so many options to choose from, you may find yourself needing to head back to the Dollar Tree for more supplies.

With all of these creative ideas, you can also adjust the DIY to fit the purpose. Feel free to get creative when decorating the lid. Paint the lid with a chalk paint that will allow you to write easily on the top of the jar, or use a label maker to stick a sign to the top or side of the jar so everyone is clear on what needs to be refilled with. Add Crafter's Square starburst gem stickers to the lid after it has been painted or tie a ribbon around the jar. If you are just starting to organize your home, don't stop here.
