The Dollar Tree Organizer That Instantly Declutters Any Space

Everyone has that one drawer in their kitchen where all of their random kitchen utensils get tossed. Some of the items in this drawer don't even seem like they belong in a drawer at all — their awkward shapes block it from opening and closing smoothly. There's no other spot in your kitchen for them, though. And maybe you've got a catch-all drawer in your bathroom, as well. A place where an assortment of cosmetics and hair products somehow make their way. It can be frustrating to get a room looking pristine yet still know that disorganization is lurking in your drawers. There is an easy Dollar Tree hack, though, that can help you achieve better drawer organization and storage throughout your home. Using a couple of Cooking Concepts Plastic Drawer Organizers, scissors, a Mesh Laundry Bag, Home Collection Clear Plastic Shower Curtain Rings, and Plastic Removable Wall Hooks you can say goodbye to your cluttered drawers forever.

Similar to this Dollar Tree organization hack, this DIY is budget-friendly and easy to implement. When your kitchen and bathroom drawers are looking nice and tidy, you'll start looking for other ways to apply this idea. Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities for utilizing this hack, as it's versatile and fully customizable to your needs.

Before implementing this genus drawer organization system, you'll want to empty the drawer completely. This is a great time to clean the drawer itself and purge any contents as needed. When everything is clean, connect two or more of the plastic organizers and place them in the drawer. These containers are the perfect size for kitchen utensils like can openers, whisks, and spatulas. The number of plastic organizers you need is up to you, and it depends on the size of your drawer. You can fill your drawer by using three of them, or just use two and leave space open in the drawer for measuring cups and other oddly shaped items that may not fit neatly in the organizers. For the second part of the DIY, use scissors to make two small holes at the top of your mesh laundry bag and thread a shower curtain ring through each hole. Next, stick two removable hooks to the inside of the cabinet door below the drawer. Fill the mesh bag with the rarely used or awkward-sized items from your drawer, and hang it on the hooks.

From now on, you should have a clutter-free drawer, with everything easier to find. Now, apply this hack to the other problem areas of your home. For a messy bathroom drawer, use plastic organizers to hold hairbrushes and styling products. Random hair clips can be placed in the open drawer space, and shaving supplies can be hung in the mesh bag. With some creativity, this system can also work for a children's wardrobe.
