Keep Shoes Organized With These Dollar Tree Plastic Storage Ideas

Footwear seems to multiply over time, and sometimes you'll discover that your shoe collection has officially outgrown your closet floor. Sneakers, sandals, boots, and heels end up in piles and corners all over the house, signaling you that it may be time to find a clever storage solution. You might find that during your search, the shoe storage systems, shelving, or boxes are out of your price range. Believe it or not, though, your local Dollar Tree has some brilliant DIYs for optimal shoe storage, so you don't need a custom closet renovation, an extravagant storage system, or pricey bins to solve your problem. You can keep all kinds of shoes organized with Dollar Tree's plastic storage containers, such as these handy Plastic Stackable Drawers, offering surprisingly stylish, budget-friendly ways, from stackable closet storage to slide-out solutions, to keep them looking neat and tidy in every room of your home.

When browsing these various plastic storage containers, you'll find that they offer a simple way to protect your shoes and maximize space. Ones with clear sides or slotted holes on the outside make it easy to see what you own, so you can quickly locate the footwear you need. These storage bins work to transform your shoe piles into a streamlined, easy-to-maintain system without breaking the bank. Below are some of the best solutions from Dollar Tree to help declutter the shoes in your entryway, bedroom, and more.

You can keep your shoes neat and tidy on your closet floor, getting them off the ground with these Plastic Stackable Drawers. Stacking the drawers on top of one another makes it easy to save space, and the clear drawer sides let you see what's inside. Each drawer fits most pairs of shoes, from sandals to sneakers, and even boots. Any shoes that don't fit or that you want to use for everyday wear, you can set right on top, so they are ready to grab.

There are many hacks for acrylic organizers that everyone will want to try, and this is definitely one of them. Get a few of these Storage Essentials Clear Acrylic Soda Can Organizers and some office binder clips. Then, just take your clips and secure them to the organizers to hold them together, so the bins are going across length-wise. Then, add your shoes inside the bins. You can treat it as a shoe storage drawer for under the bed or dresser.

These Colorful Plastic Oval Carry Totes are perfect for built-ins or wooden cubbies you may already have. You can use them to store your shoes and treat them like pull-out drawers, whether they're in a mudroom, closet, or bedroom. You can pile more than one pair in each tote, which can be handy with bigger families. You may also have to experiment with different totes that fit your storage cubbies, so take a look at these Plastic Tote Baskets for use as well.

If you don't have much space in your closet, use these Essentials Plastic Storage Boxes with Lids. Fit a pair of shoes into each box and stack them on top of one another if needed. They look neat and tidy out in the open in your bedroom, or you can store them in your closet for all the shoes you don't wear too often. The clear design allows you to see what's inside for easy access.

If you have kids who play sports or live in an area where shoes are constantly wet or muddy, get yourself some of these Stackable Containers from Dollar Tree. The sides adjust so you can connect them and stack them in the garage. You've just created a perfect shoe organizer, so any of the wet boots or muddy sneakers can be removed and placed here. This helps ensure that dirt doesn't get tracked through your house, keeping it cleaner.

Grab yourself some of these Plastic Slotted Storage Baskets from Dollar Tree. Take some zip ties and connect them together through the holes with the open top facing outward, where you'll place shoes. The result is your very own shoe storage system. It can work in a closet, bedroom, or your entryway — however you want to fit it in the space. It can help to measure your area and determine the size of the basket you'll need. Other baskets can be used and may work better for this DIY, like the Plastic Storage Baskets with Handles.

Instead of getting expensive or fancy-looking baskets, you can use the budget-friendly Party Basket from Dollar Tree instead. Just place it next to your front door or in your mudroom. It becomes an easy location for dropping off boots and shoes as you come in the door. The bottom is also easy to clean with a wipe or a damp cloth if it gets wet or muddy.

Last but not least, you can get a little more creative with a fun DIY. Take things up a notch using the Plastic Laundry Basket from Dollar Tree. Add some spray paint to give it a pretty makeover that complements your entryway space. Take some leftover leather strapping (or lace, ribbon, whatever is around) and use hot glue to secure it, weaving it around the basket. This easy DIY creates a more stylish and elevated storage basket for your entryway shoe storage.
