Organize Your Tupperware Lids With This Genius Dollar Tree Declutter Hack

No matter how hard you try to organize it, the Tupperware drawer always seems to be in a state of chaos. Between the containers themselves and the various sizes of lids, it's hard to keep everything in a neat, easily accessible stack. This disorganized state can lead to major frustration when you're trying to get out the door quickly but can't find the right lid for your lunch container. Luckily, there is a clever way to organize your Tupperware lids, and all you need is one simple Dollar Tree item. By storing your container lids inside of an inexpensive Cooking Concepts wire napkin holder, you can keep your lids neat, organized, and easy to grab.

This simple organization tip could get you on your way to perfectly organized kitchen cabinets. It's highly customizable so you can create something that works best for your current kitchen set up. The napkin holders work great here because they are small and tight enough to keep the number of lids inside manageable. If you have a lot of lids, you may need to invest in multiple napkin holders to corral them all.

At its core, this DIY is as simple as it gets — buy a napkin holder and place your Tupperware lids in it. You might even have an old napkin holder at home that you can upcycle into a lid holder. Or head to the thrift store to find a unique or vintage napkin holder to make the lid organizer fit your aesthetic. If you choose a secondhand napkin holder, scrub it with soapy water before using it.

That said, there are many modifications you can make to help this hack best suit your needs. For example, if kitchen drawer and cabinet space is limited, you can mount your napkin holders to the side or door of your cabinets using Command strips or screws — you maintain cabinet space for other items and keep the lids easily accessible. Another easy way to maximize your kitchen counter space or cabinet space is to make use of wire cabinet shelves. You can slide your DIY lid organizer under the shelf and stack other kitchen essentials and dishes on top.

If you're using multiple napkin holders, you can zip tie them together at the base to keep all your lids in one straight line. If you use multiple holders, organize the lids by size or shape to make it easier to find what you need. To keep your lids easily accessible no matter where they're stored, try placing your napkin holders inside of a larger box or plastic storage container that can be pulled out and placed on the counter whenever you need a lid. Take this idea a step further by hot gluing your napkin holders in place inside of the storage container.
