10 DOLLAR TREE DIY MUTLIPURPOSE ORGANIZERS

Hello everyone!!! Josie here from LifeAt50&Beyond. Ever since hitting 100K+ subscribers I have been thinking of doing a "Top 10 List" of all the DIYs I have made. For all of the people who have supported me I cannot thank you enough for all your support. The success of the channel has been because of all you. Hopefully this list that I am about to make will help both new and old subscribers of the channel. I will also link this list to Pinterest.

For this list I will be focusing on DIYs that would help crafters such as myself. We do not want clutter in our work areas so these DIYs will be a lot of help to all of you who have the same passion for crafting like me. This will also be helpful to those who are thinking about getting into crafting. It will inspire who further when you see your work area or workstation free of clutter.

So let's get unto the list. Take note these DIYs are not arranged in any order. These are the 10 DIYs that I have deemed best for crafters to avoid any clutter in their workspace. If you have any suggestions or comments just send me a message or leave a comment. So let's get started!!!




For this project I used stackable bins that I bought from Dollar Tree. This is perfect for your work space. But not only there. This will be a perfect organizer under your sink as well. Depending on how you setup the bin, it will be possible to store your spray paint cans or tall bottles in this bin. On the video I used it for our stuff to store under the sink and also showed how to use it for my dog's stuff.



For many years I have been wrapping gifts that I would give my relatives and friends. So I have a lot of gift wrapping paper. Because of a request from a subscriber I was able to make an organizer for the said gift wrapping papers. It can hold 12 rolls of gift wrapping paper and it only costs $1. This solved my storage issue with the wrapping papers.



Here is a quick DIY that you can do so you would have a stand for your glue gun. For just less than $3 I was able to make a glue stand with a container for glue sticks. It solved the problem I was having with burning my work table. Since the material I used is glass it will not melt nor burn. It's very simple to make and it will help out all crafters who use hot glue guns.



Next one is another request from a subscriber. He requested it for his daughter. He wanted to give hs daughter a nightstand. For this project I used 2 interlocking crates that I bought from Wal-Mart and stacked them. If you want to make this sturdier you can use hot glue or E6000. In this video I showed how to setup the nightstand with different types of bins. You can also use decorated shoeboxes as an alternative to the bins if you do not have bins.



Truth be told this is one of the DIYs I am very proud of. Believe it or not until today I find myself using this project for all of my crafting needs. It is a mobile organizer. I can easily move it into any place in my crafting room. Most of the things I use are all in this mobile organizer. And the good thing about it is you can make this DIY on the cheap. You do not need to spend a lot of money on creating good projects. Always go for the "bang for the buck" mentality when going into these projects. Check the video out and see what you think of this specific project.



No matter how we try to control it we always run out of space in our work area. We try everything from rearranging furniture to getting bigger bins. The thing with rooms is that we do not always use a majority of the space it has. With this DIY we will be able to use the door as a place to organize our materials. It will help a lot with clearing clutter and making space in the work area. Check it out.



Doing multipurpose organizers can be a blast. On one hand you create something out of nothing and on the other hand you can use that something for different purposes. These projects shows you that these organizers can be used for both your crafts and for makeup. It will be a great addition to any room. In this video I revamped one organizer that I made for the purposes of a buffet. I revamped it to be used for my paint bottles. The other one is a new project for the same multipurpose function. Great with stamps and of course great with makeup kits.



This project came about when I was running out of space for my scrapbooks. I wanted to organize my small collection of scrapbooks. The project was a success since it helped me with organizing my scrapbooks and of course it will be expandable which will help a lot especially once my collection grows in number. Very simple to make and great for your craft room.



Another simple project that has multipurpose uses. Using a baking tray and some magnetic materials I was able to make a multipurpose organizer  that you can use for your crafting and even use it in your kitchen. A very quick and fast DIY. I also gave a couple of suggestions on how to use this project on other things. Check the video out and tell me what you think about it.
On this project I used materials I bought from Dollar Tree. It's another organizer. I call it a caddy. The stuff that you can put into this caddy may be limited but it will really be a big help for you with your crafting. You can also use this in your kitchen and even in your small office. The uses for this caddy is endless.







So there it is folks. Our first instalment of Top 10 Projects. Tell me what did you think about the list? Do you have any requests for future Top 10s? You can message me at my YouTube channel or leave a comment on this blog. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for the support. This keeps me inspired with what I do on my channel.

Until next time! Bye!!!
