The Clever Dollar Tree Hack That Turns Kitchen Cabinet Doors Into Storage Gold

Finding places to store things in your kitchen can be a constant challenge, especially if you have a small space. Cabinets and drawers fill up quickly with dishes, cookware, and pantry staples, leaving very little room for anything new. Countertops often become catch-alls, making your kitchen feel cluttered and less functional. Of course, creative solutions like wall-mounted shelves can help. But what happens when your drawers, cabinets, and wall space are all used up — and you still have items that need storing? When all hope for storage seems lost, you can always count on Dollar Tree storage DIYs to save the day. This one, in particular, hacks two Dollar Tree items to transform the inside of your cabinet doors into a storage rack. All you need is an Essentials Wire Dish Drying Rack and an Essentials Adjustable Over-the-Counter Towel Bar.

This budget-friendly kitchen storage solution is perfect for holding things like rolls of wax paper and aluminum foil, but it has plenty of other great uses, too. There are also ways to make it more functional. However you choose to implement this hack, you will be happy with the extra storage it provides.

For this easy kitchen storage hack, just hang the towel rack on the inside of your lower cabinet door. Then, hang the wire dish rack vertically by placing the top rung of the rack over the bar. Now, you can slide items into the dish rack slots and close the cabinet for convenient, hidden storage. Use this hanging unit to store everything from plastic wrap and hand towels to boxes of dry spaghetti noodles. Really, anything long enough not to fall through the dish rack rungs will work well.

One downside to this hack is that opening and closing your cabinet doors quickly or with force may cause items to fall forward from the unit. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to prevent this from happening. Attaching zip ties from one rung to the next on both sides of the rack is one way to keep your items from sliding out. Moreover, attaching bird netting or another lightweight material to the front of the unit with zip ties or twist ties from old bread bags will also keep things from falling. However, instead of placing your items into the rack from the front, you will need to slide them in from the side.
