Kiss Kitchen Drawer Clutter Goodbye With A Clever Dollar Tree DIY

Container lid storage can be the chink in the armor of a dream orderly kitchen setup. On one hand, you may have the much-coveted deep drawers to fit your large collection of pots and Tupperware containers. And on the other hand, your lids are always a mess and refuse to stay organized. Well, instead of just cramming those dish covers in a drawer, we have a simple Dollar Tree DIY that can help you fix the clutter and set you up for perfectly organized kitchen cabinets. All you need are two Dollar Tree finds: white wire cabinet shelves and plastic locker bins with handles. And at only $1.50 for each item, it costs a fraction of premade food storage container lid holders.

The logic behind this hack is having an appropriately sized capsule (the bin) and evenly spaced slots (the wire shelf) that keep your lids standing upright. It's a clever way to organize your Tupperware lids and prevent them from sliding all over the place whenever you open or shut your drawers. This Dollar Tree DIY is also an almost seamless hack with no need for cutting this or measuring that, since the bins fit nicely into your deeper drawers while the wire cabinet shelves nestle perfectly inside the bins.

This lid storage DIY is pretty simple. Take the wire cabinet shelf and place it upside down on a flat surface like your countertop. Bend the four wire leg stands towards the center. After that, flip it back into an upright position and insert it in the plastic locker bin. And that's it; your lid organizer capsule is ready. Place each container lid in its own slot created by the wire shelf. Finally, place your Dollar Tree DIY lid organizer in your drawer. Now, whenever you need a container lid, you have a clear view of the one you want, and pulling it from the slot is easier than fishing one out of a cluttered drawer.

The best part about this Dollar Tree hack is that you don't necessarily need more drawer space if you have lots of container lids; just place the extra bin-and-wire-shelf setup on your countertop like a mobile caddy. Even better, you can place it on top of your fridge, which is an easy storage spot hiding in your kitchen in plain sight. The locker bins have handles, so carrying the whole thing to and from the top of your fridge is an easy task.
