All of the small beauty items you own can quickly add up, leading to lots of clutter across countertops, sinks, drawers, closets, and cabinets in your home. It may feel overwhelming and stressful to try to find savvy ways to organize your beauty room in order to declutter all of those little items. It can be helpful when getting started to first go through all of your products and get rid of any expired or used-up lipsticks, mascara, and brushes. Then, you'll need to find a creative way to store and display the remaining products. You can quickly organize them with a simple DIY hack that involves just three items and is easy to assemble. This is a creative way to declutter, while displaying your beauty items for easy access

The things you will need for this hack include the Dollar Tree Cooking Concepts paper towel holder. You'll also need to purchase a pack of zip ties if you don't have any lying around the house, like these ANOSON Zip Ties that come in assorted sizes. Finally, think about the color you would like for your beauty item storage rack. It may be a good idea to match it to your makeup vanity or dresser. Purchase a can of spray paint like this Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint in gold, or whatever color choice you prefer for your display.

How to put together your new beauty storage tower

For this hack, you want to tie the zip ties tight around the paper towel holder across both sides, clipping the excess. Make sure you leave enough room in between the zip ties to hold each tube of lipstick, mascara, makeup brush, lip gloss, primer, and so on. There should be some wiggle room to insert products. Next, take your towel holder outside or to a well-ventilated area so you don't breathe in any of the fumes from the spray paint. Take your can and spray the towel holder and zip ties, and allow everything to dry completely. 

Lastly, organize your makeup by simply inserting your beauty items between the zip ties. With this rack, it is easy to replace your smaller items with new ones as they get used up. Feel free to get creative with what products you use it for, such as lining up all of your various lip gloss or lipstick colors. If you only use just a few makeup items each day, consider stacking them up in order. For example, you can have concealer, mascara, lip gloss, a makeup brush, and eyeliner in the holder to put on your daily "face." There are many other Dollar Tree items you can use for makeup organization, so be sure to explore more fun hacks to declutter your makeup space.
