Say Goodbye To Kitchen Cabinet Clutter With A Dollar Tree Measuring Cup Storage Hack

Decluttering is a practical trend that helps you find the tools you need without major digging but also has a positive effect on your mental health. Clutter adds frustration, making even simple jobs complicated, while having an organized kitchen is a joy to work in. Measuring cups and spoons such as ones from Dollar Tree take up a lot of space, whether you keep them in a drawer or on a shelf in a cabinet. By hanging your measuring cups from Dollar Tree self-adhesive plastic hooks on the inside of cabinet doors, you'll remove them from the clutter and make them easy to grab.

All you need for this hack are enough hooks, a pencil, and a measuring tape. The Dollar Tree hooks are available in white, clear, or silver. The clear version is likely to be the least visible on most surfaces, which is a plus when you're aiming for less clutter. 

Take the length of your longest measuring cup, and add 1 to 2 inches to the height. Measure that distance from the bottom of the cabinet door and mark it on the inside of the cupboard. For additional cups, measure and mark that height at various points across the door. Divide the width of the cabinet door by the number of hooks you need. Stick the hooks and hang your measuring cups as one of the quickest hacks to secretly add more storage to your kitchen.

Using the same hooks on the outside of your cabinet doors adds to the visual clutter, but tucking them on the inside is an ideal way to say goodbye to cluttered kitchen drawers with a budget-friendly Dollar Tree DIY. If you prefer hanging each measuring cup and spoon separately, make sure you have enough hooks and take each cup off the ring before hanging. The holes in the handles need to be big enough to fit on the hooks, or thread a metal ring through the hole to make hanging easier. 

These inside cabinet hooks can be used for all sorts of kitchen utensils and items. Just check that what you want to hang won't clash with the items you have on the shelves. While you're at it, you can completely redo the organization of your cabinets. Combine the internal hook hack with the easy way to declutter your kitchen cabinets with a Dollar Tree DIY lazy Susan for ultimate organization.

When it comes to removing the hooks, you may find the glue sticks too well to remove the hooks without damaging your cabinet door. Depending on the material your cabinets are made from, there are different methods to try. Applying heat with a hair dryer is a simple method that often does the trick. If it doesn't, you might need to try acetone to dissolve the glue or a razor blade to carefully take each hook off the inside of the door.
