Kitchen cabinets are a nightmare if you don't find ways to keep them organized. They can get cluttered easily, which makes finding what you need a pain, especially when you're in the middle of cooking. If you're looking for smart ideas to get perfectly organized kitchen cabinets, it's time to grab some old fidget spinners. More than just toys, fidget spinners are actually fantastic for creating DIY lazy Susans. If you've ever had one of these classic kitchen tools, you know it makes sharing food a breeze and offers a genius hack to utilize every inch of your cabinet storage space.

To make your cabinet-friendly lazy Susan, you need several supplies, including a fidget spinner, small glass or rigid plastic plates, a candlestick holder, and some glue. Hot glue may make quick work of this project, or you could choose a more durable adhesive, like plastic cement or epoxy. Many of these items can be found at Dollar Tree, like its Luminessence Glass Taper Candleholder. Keep in mind that you'll likely want to create more than one of these lazy Susans, so grab extra supplies to be prepared. If you don't have an old fidget spinner lying around, that's okay. They sell tons of them on Amazon, including this SCIONE Fidget Spinner 5-Pack for $8.99. What's great about this hack is that you can adjust it to create a variety of lazy Susans. The fidget spinner is the magic tool, but deciding on the kind of plates you use or the stand's purpose is up to you.

Begin this DIY by carefully prying off the fidget spinner's top button with a screwdriver. Then, add some drops of glue around the top of the fidget spinner, and center one of the plates on top of it. If you set it on the counter, you'll see the plate can now spin! Add some glue to the top of the candleholder, flip it over, and then attach it to the top of the plate. Squeeze drops of glue on the other side of the candleholder, and stack the other plate on top.

Voi​là — you now have another chic Dollar Tree hack to keep your kitchen essentials tidy with your multi-tiered lazy Susan. One brilliant way to use this tool is by putting it in your spice cabinet. As we know, spices can get jumbled without a system for keeping them organized. Simply place them on your lazy Susan, and you'll be able to find your garlic powder, oregano, and paprika in a snap. Make a single layer with one plate atop a fidget spinner, and you can place your favorite baking supplies on top or use it to keep your vitamins and medicines in line.

With how cute it is, you can also leave this DIY lazy Susan on the counter. Consider creating one for your bathroom to keep small supplies like perfumes and nail polishes at your fingertips. You can create a lazy Susan for your kids' snacks as well, which could be a fun way to share a variety of dipping sauces. You'll probably never look at a fidget spinner the same way again!
