The Dollar Tree Organization Hack That Gives Serving Trays A New Purpose

When you're trying to relax and enjoy some downtime at home, the last thing you want to see is unorganized clutter. However, certain items, like cleaning supplies, cables, kitchen gadgets, and toys can be difficult to store. Utilizing storage bins in your home can help with this issue. Whether you're looking for storage ideas to keep small items organized without hogging space or simply want to conceal non-aesthetic items, these simple Dollar Tree plastic locker bins come in handy. And with a little serving tray hack, you can transform these basic bins into a stackable storage solution for all your hard-to-store items.

Stacking these bins is a great way to utilize vertical space, which is often necessary in small homes where floor space may be lacking. Additionally, stacking the bins gives them a more aesthetically pleasing look overall. This hack comes together with no glue, screws, or other common crafting materials. All you will need are the storage bins and some Dollar Tree Caterer's Corner plastic serving trays.

To assemble your stackable storage bins, all you need to do is place a serving tray on top of each bin then stack the bins on top of each other. As far as hacks to add more storage go, this one is about as easy as it gets. You can place your storage bin stack on your crafting workstation, on the floor in your office, or tuck them away inside a cabinet. The vertical stack is an excellent way to utilize every inch of cabinet storage space.

Keep in mind, however, there is nothing holding these bins together, so don't stack them too high or you'll run the risk of knocking the entire structure over. Additionally, you will have to remove bins from the top to access the ones on the bottom. This could be a hassle for everyday items. To avoid this issue, use these bins to store things you don't use on a daily basis, such as seasonal decor and deep-cleaning supplies. If you're looking for ways to customize this project, an easy option is to add labels to each bin. You can make your own or use a label maker. To further up the storage, you can also add mini plastic containers to separate small items within your original, larger storage bins.
