Ever noticed how clutter has a way of filling every available nook and cranny in your bathroom, whether it's under your vanity, on wall-mounted shelves, or in countertop storage? If this is the predicament you find yourself in, it's time for a better solution. You need to get yourself some Dollar Tree drawer organizers. Yup — the same organizers you use in your desk drawers to keep paper clips and sticky notes in order. However, for this discount retailer DIY, you'll trim off some of the siding and hang them on the wall or the back of your bathroom door with the help of some self-adhesive hooks. It's a simple and stylish shelving idea you can DIY using Dollar Tree essentials that clears clutter in just a few minutes.

Dollar Tree carries several styles of drawer organizers and plastic caddies. Some have solid walls. Avoid those — they can't be modified as required by this DIY. Look for drawer organizers with perforated siding instead, like these Slim Plastic Drawer Organization Baskets for $1.50 each. Or, for something a little prettier, invest in these Daisy Design Laser-Cut Plastic Storage Bins — also $1.50 each. If you can't anything that fits the bill at Dollar tree, head online. You can get a three-pack of Mainstays Slim White Plastic Storage Trays Baskets for a bit over $8. For this genius Dollar Tree DIY that'll keep your bathroom organized on a budget, you'll also need some self-adhesive hooks to hang the drawer organizers to the wall. Dollar Tree's Plastic Removable Wall Hooks would work well for this project. Finally, grab a good pair of scissors from your craft room.

To make a wall-mountable storage organizer, you need one Dollar Tree drawer organizer and two self-adhesive hooks. To get started, cut two sections from one long side of the organizer that's large enough to slip the hooks through. Attach the hooks with the adhesive side facing outward. Peel off the backing protecting the adhesive and stick the shelf to the wall (or inside of a door, if you prefer). If you're hoping to store heavier bathroom products — like bottles of lotion or shampoo — in your new vertical organizers, add at least one more hook between the two existing hooks or upgrade to stronger hooks.

When you hang the drawer organizers on a wall, position them so that there's 6 inches to 8 inches (or more) of open space between each. This ensures enough clearance for taller items. Once the shelves are hung up, group similar items together, just as you would in a medicine cabinet. For example, store all your makeup on one shelf and all your skin care products on another. Finally, if the slimline design of these organizers doesn't cut it, you'll need to look for other, larger items you could use to organize your bathroom. These colorful Dollar Tree Rectangle Palm Print Baskets will expand your design palette and, at over 11 inches long, can hold more stuff. Mount them with Command Heavyweight Wall Hooks for a secure hold.
