Try A Dollar Tree Hack To Keep Your Spices Organized On A Wall: No Rack Needed!

It only takes a few wild card recipe experiments for your spice collection to get a bit out of hand. One minute it's all organized, and you know exactly what you have — the next, you keep losing what you need in the chaos. Luckily, there is one hack that provides a low-effort way to get things under control. Instead of forking out on some new shelving or a specialized rack, this clever little trick uses Dollar Tree's Essential Anti Slip Mop and Broom Holders. Yes, the holders designed to grip long handles and keep them upright are the perfect size to hold onto most spice jars, too. Dollar Tree's versions even come as a strip with two holders attached, so all you need to do is line several next to each other to create some neat rows.

The joy of having a well-organized spice cabinet means there'll be no more jars hiding at the back of a drawer or cupboard, unable to be found when you need them most. This is especially useful if you have a shallow cupboard or a small kitchen in general, as, once the jars are lined up vertically with visible labels, your whole cooking experience becomes so much easier. It isn't a hack that looks particularly impressive, but for renters, people with small kitchens, or anyone who wants an in-cabinet storage solution, it's a really clever little workaround.

To pull off this hack, you'll need to determine where exactly you want your spices to go. It might make most sense to mount them to the inside of your kitchen cabinet — one near your cooker for easy access — as this means you can keep them out of sight when not in use. Plus, the inside of a cupboard door is a good space to utilize as it's space that's often left empty. If you have a small gap on the wall near your cooking area, you may also want to adhere the strips directly to the wall, just to make sure they are in reach for when you need them most.

Like with any adhesive project, you'll need to attach your strips to a clean surface, so wipe it down and make sure it's fully dry before peeling off the back of the stickers and attaching them to the wall. Press them firmly and let them stick and dry before adding any spice jars into their clips. Luckily, the reviews for this particular Dollar Tree product agree that they do the job of holding weight well.

Classic round glass spice jars are best suited for this hack, so, if you have things lying around in bulkier containers, you may want to also buy some empty spice jars and get organizing. Considering these jars tend to be incredibly cheap, this is a pretty genius way to store spices – one that might just change the game when it's time to whip up dinner.
