The presence of clutter in a home can lead to increased stress levels. For those of us who feel the need to alleviate some stress by keeping our abode more organized, there are plenty of tools within our reach that can help control the chaos of clutter and make things easier to find. Most of these tools and materials for handy organizing DIYs, like many other storage and organization hacks, can be found at your local Dollar Tree. Among the latest home organization finds for $1.50 and under are a variety of affordable wire trays that can be repurposed and used in many rooms and in many ways.

From vanity decluttering to drawer sorting, the dollar-and-up store is home to many furnishings that can make organizing and tidying your cluttered spaces both fun and fashionable. The Jot Metal Wire Tray and Essentials Wire Storage Basket Tray from Dollar Tree are great for not just organizing your desk and office space, but can also be used in other rooms around your home to bring order to otherwise chaotic areas. There are many genius ways to get organized using these Dollar Tree wire trays, which come in black or gold finishes.

Transform a metallic wire tray into a stylish new storage space for your earrings. Flip the tray so its concave part is against your wall, then secure it in place using screws or push pins, and voila! You have a new way to declutter and organize jewelry. Hang your hoop earrings and other jewelry within the squares to keep them untangled and ready to wear out and about. Clasp necklaces and bracelets within the squares for easy viewing and selection for days you want to add a little glitz and sparkle to your attire.

Similar to the jewelry organizer, you can flip a wire tray over and secure it to your wall to use as sunglass storage. Follow the same steps as you would for an earring and jewelry organizer, but instead of accessorizing the tray with your jewels, use it to display your selection of sunglasses. Hanging your sunglasses through the holes of the wire tray can help prevent them from getting scratched when carelessly tossed into a trinket tray or catch-all bin in your entryway. Being able to see your sunglasses on display also helps make styling an outfit easy.

Elevate and maximize your limited desk space with this genius DIY. Instead of using horizontal space, as you normally would by lining and labeling several wire trays along your desk's surface, make the most out of the abundant vertical space. With a few wire trays and some Tool Bench 8-inch Nylon Cable Ties, you can construct a tiered letter and paper organizer. For a two-tiered stacked tray, you'll need three wire trays and a handful of cable ties. Simply secure two wire trays to the ends of the third base wire tray with the ties to create your organizer.

For more organization in your kitchen, especially on countertops and islands, consider adding a few wire trays as countertop storage. These trays can provide a designated space for many kitchen essentials. Store cutting boards, small baking trays, pot holders, pot rests, and other items within the storage unit for easy access. If you don't want to lose precious counter space, adhere the narrower Jot Metal Wire Tray to a cabinet or to a spot on the wall. Alternatively, you can also attach a tray to the inside door of a cabinet for more hidden storage.

If you've mastered the pocket fold for easy access and organization, a wire tray can provide a designated space for your expertly pocket-folded kitchen towels or rolled towels. After folding or rolling your towels, line them up or lay them flat within a wire tray for easy access and use. Once placed in the wire tray, find a spot for your new kitchen towel holder. Place it on top of a kitchen counter or island to be part of your kitchen decor, or place the tray inside a drawer or cabinet for more concealed storage.

We've all seen this rising trend — bag charms. They have been popping up everywhere, becoming a statement piece and must-have accessory. A wire tray can provide the perfect place for your bag charms when they're not attached to your jeans, bags, or purses. Attach your wire tray to your closet wall using screws, similar to how you would make the aforementioned jewelry organizer, and hang your bag charms from the holes. Not only does it keep the charms organized and easy to grab, but it can also function as a nice wall display.

Bathrooms are another common place that is prone to becoming cluttered and disorganized. A wire tray can help this sometimes chaotic space. Add one as-is to a vanity or sink if you have the space to spare, and use it to store cleaning products, soap bars, and even toilet paper rolls. If you have limited vanity space, pair wire trays with Tool Bench Heavy Duty Suction Cup Hooks to create a wall organizer or hide them inside your vanity cabinet. Simply attach the suction cups to a vertical surface and hang the wire tray to free up sink space.

Tired of having loose produce rolling around your kitchen counter or table? Dollar Tree wire trays can help with that. With zip ties and a combination of the Essentials Wire Tray and assorted Jot Wire Trays, you can create a space for your fruits and vegetables. Place the smaller assortment of Jot Wire Trays inside the basket of the Essentials Wire Tray — one at the top and one at the bottom — and secure them in place using zip ties. Now put your loose fruit and vegetables into the baskets and place the DIY shelf on your kitchen counter.

Dollar Tree's wire trays can help keep your espresso bar and coffee station clutter-free. With a few wire trays and cable ties, you can fashion a storage unit for your coffee pods. To craft your new caffeine organizer, you'll need an Essentials Wire Tray, two of the smaller Jot Wire Trays, zip ties, and Tool Bench Removable Hooks. Affix the two smaller wire trays to the bigger one using zip ties to create a tiered storage unit. Place your ready-to-use coffee pods inside the baskets on a counter or attached to a wall with the removable hooks.

Craft rooms are creative spaces, and sometimes getting lost in creativity can lead to clutter and chaos. With Dollar Tree wire trays, you can organize your creative instruments, making crafting supplies easier to find when needed. Create a two-tiered organizer using wire trays in various sizes and zip ties. For a freestanding unit, feel free to leave it as is, placing it on a shelf or craft table in your crafting room. Use the unit to hold label makers, markers, ribbon spools, and whatever else needs a place in your creative space.
