Say Goodbye To Bathroom Clutter Eyesores With This Clever Dollar Tree DIY

Oh, bathroom clutter. It can happen in the blink of an eye when you're getting ready, or it can slowly accumulate over time. Some of the biggest clutter-causing issues are being low on space and having too many products without a home. Even if you're able to ignore the mess on a day-to-day basis, it can be embarrassing when you have guests over. If you're looking to create additional storage and clean up those cluttered countertops, all you need to do is visit Dollar Tree. While the store offers many organizational products, numerous hacks involve combining its budget-friendly items to create something new and unique. TikTok user @chocolate_dutchezx shared a DIY that calls for four kitchen racks, several baskets, hooks, and zip ties. 

Dollar Tree's Metal Cooling Racks are at the center of the project. You also need several baskets, like these Wire Mesh Desk Organizers from Dollar Tree. Alternatively, you could replace them with a larger number of smaller baskets. Lastly, grab Dollar Tree's Over-The-Door Hooks, which are what will help you display your new storage solution.

Before starting the DIY, it's a great idea to declutter your bathroom first. Go through your items and decide what you're keeping, what you're donating, and what should be trashed. Ask yourself if you actually use each product, and if there are items that you own in excess. Especially if you have a smaller bathroom, less is sometimes more. After you're finished, separate everything into categories so it's not just a potpourri of products and beauty tools. 

Place two of your cooling racks together so that they align perfectly. Then, begin adding zip ties around the edges and on the inside bars, creating one piece. Be sure to snip off the tails of the zip ties. Once you're done, repeat this with the other set of racks. Next, attach the two pieces together at their edges to create one long metal rack. You can now secure baskets to the organizer using zip ties. Consider spacing them evenly on it, or customize the positioning to work best for your items.

Hang your new Dollar Tree storage rack on the back of a bathroom door using the hooks. Voilà, it's now ready to fill with items like perfumes, lotions, and essentials. If you keep everything neat and organized, it can look adorable, especially if you only add items you don't mind being on display. Paint the organizer before hanging it up if you have a preferred color. Or, attach fake greenery to some of the wires, making it a beautiful piece that'll help elevate the look of your bathroom. To keep it looking neat and tidy, go through your items every few months to ensure there isn't anything expired or that you no longer use. This is an easy and inexpensive DIY that will hopefully make ugly bathroom clutter a thing of the past.
