Declutter Your Kitchen Cabinets With A Simple Dollar Tree DIY

Logically, you know that decluttering your kitchen cabinets is the key to preventing a cascade of cookware lids from falling out every time the cupboard door is opened. However, since lids have knobs, the usual ways that you would tidy, like stacking as you do your plates, just don't apply. That's when it's time for Dollar Tree wire napkin holders to come to your kitchen cabinets' rescue. We know you're thinking "What?!" But this easy Dollar Tree kitchen cabinet hack can help you reorganize your pots and pans' lids for just a few dollars.

Dollar Tree's Cooking Concepts Wire Napkin Holders are a couple of inches wide, and while a single napkin holder on its own isn't likely to keep your lids standing upright and organized, a whole slew of the napkin holders, bound by some Dollar Tree Tool Bench Nylon Cable Ties, will. How many wire napkin holders you choose to get depends on how many pot lids you need to wrestle into submission. You'll likely want at least three or four, but if you have an enviable collection of lids (and enough room in your cabinets), you may want to grab a few more. Finally, be sure to grab some scissors because, like most DIYs worth doing, you'll be doing some snippin' before the construction on this Dollar Tree storage solution is done.

Dollar Tree napkin holders come with paper tags that are fastened with plastic ties. Cut all of those off before you move forward with this task. Once that's done, you'll set the wire napkin holders side by side as if they were metal tacos in a box from your favorite fast food joint. The ends of the napkin holders should line up, and where they line up, you'll want to bind them together with a zip tie. Do this on both sides. Snip off the tails of the ties so that they look a little neater. Repeat this process until all of the napkin holders are bound together with zip ties into one long unit. Place your new lid storage unit in the cupboard next to your pots and pans, and slide your pot lids into the slots of the napkin holders.

Of course, given how handy this is, you won't want to stop at just your pot lids. Anything that's sort of flat-ish is a good candidate for this Dollar Tree organization hack. Plastic food container lids are a natural fit; so, too, are dinner and bread plates. And don't want to forget about your cutting boards. This system is particularly helpful for storing them upright, something you should be doing to keep them fresh and moisture-free. This keeps the cutting boards warp-free and ready to cut your morning muffins and banana bread.
