This Dollar Tree Drawer Hack Makes Decluttering Easy—but One Detail Has People Up In Arms

As they say, nobody's perfect. But when you make a blunder on social media, chances are, people are going to have lots to say about it. That's exactly what happened when a woman shared a hack online for creating a beautiful organizer out of Dollar Tree products. Seems harmless enough, right? Turns out, though, she made a whoopsie during the project and didn't peel off any of the labels. Viewers not only noticed, but many of them also became quite heated.

TikToker @miss_vicky_tips demonstrated how to make a stylish storage box, perfect for decluttering your home. The main supplies are Dollar Tree's Stackable Organizing Drawers and their Glass Mirror Candleholders. A common practice is to remove any stickers from a product before use, especially if it's going to be displayed as home decor. Yet, the TikToker missed that step and jumped right into the project instead. While her DIY organizer did indeed turn out lovely, its good looks were overshadowed by the unsightly labels that covered the clear container.

People online didn't hold back. Hundreds of them left comments, and they were mainly focused on the sticker tags. One viewer wrote: "Not removing the labels is a crime, ma'am." Another responded: "I couldn't focus because you didn't take the stickers off!!!!!!" Some even felt she left them on purpose as a form of rage bait, a tactic used to stir up anger and provoke interaction. "You not removing the stickers is just diabolical, has to be rage bait. Because why?"

When it comes to decluttering, it's important that every item has a designated place to go. This nifty DIY box would be helpful in keeping small items organized and tidy — especially if you're looking to clear clutter from bathroom counters. Start by grabbing six of Dollar Tree's Organizing Drawers and four of their Glass Mirror Candleholders. You can make the organizer any size you want, but you'll have to do some adjusting to ensure you have the right amount of supplies.

Time to peel off the labels. If you're having trouble, there's a foolproof way to remove sticky labels from nearly any surface. Wash the drawers up and dry them off with a towel. Next, hot glue the drawers together, creating a set that's two-drawers wide and three-drawers high. Finally, glue two mirrors to the top of the box and one on each side of it. Voilà — you now have a gorgeous storage solution to help organize your belongings. You can even glue on additional embellishments if you'd like to make it even more dazzling.

Place the container on your bathroom counter and fill the drawers with items like makeup, cotton balls, and hair accessories, or use it on your bedroom dresser for jewelry. You can even use it in a home office for small supplies. It'll help wrangle the clutter by giving you an extra spot to put things. Plus, it also doubles as a chic piece of home decor — as long as you remove the stickers, of course!
