DOLLAR TREE DIY MULTIPURPOSE WALL AND TABLETOP ORGANIZER | CRAFT ROOM ORGANIZER | DIY SPICE RACK

Welcome to LifeDIYJosie!

Welcome back to another edition of Thrifty Thursdays! As the creative force behind LifeDIYJosie, I’ve always believed that amazing projects don’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Each Thursday, I dive into the world of thrifted treasures and DIY magic, showcasing how you can transform everyday items into stylish and functional decor.

This week, I’m excited to share a project featuring:

• 2 Dollar Tree cabinet shelves or risers
• 4 large Dollar Tree organization wire baskets
• 20 pieces of large zip ties
• Scissors or wire cutters
• Optional: Hot glue gun and glue sticks for added reinforcement

In this project, we’ll create a stylish storage solution that elevates your organization game. It’s perfect for decluttering any room in your home!

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Set up a clean, flat workspace where you can lay out your materials. This will help you visualize the final product and make the assembly process smoother.

Step 2: Arrange Your Shelves

Place the two cabinet shelves or risers parallel to each other on your workspace. Decide how you want to position the wire baskets—either stacked or side by side—depending on your storage needs.

Step 3: Position the Wire Baskets

Take the four rectangular wire baskets and position them on top of the shelves. If you're stacking them, consider placing two baskets on each shelf, or arrange them in a way that suits your space. Make sure they are stable and evenly spaced.

Step 4: Secure the Baskets

Using the large zip ties, secure the wire baskets to the shelves.

1. Insert a zip tie through the bottom of a basket, looping it around the shelf.
2. Pull the zip tie tight to hold the basket in place.
3. Repeat this process for each basket, ensuring they are securely attached.
4. Trim any excess zip tie material with scissors or wire cutters.

Step 5: Reinforce Connections (Optional)

For extra stability, you can use a hot glue gun to reinforce the connections between the baskets and shelves. Apply a small amount of glue where the baskets meet the shelves and allow it to dry completely.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once everything is securely attached, give your new storage solution a gentle shake to ensure stability. Now it’s time to fill the baskets! Organize your items—whether it’s craft supplies, toys, or office materials—in a way that makes sense for you.

Step 7: Style Your Space

Consider adding decorative elements around your new storage solution, such as plants, books, or photos, to enhance its visual appeal.

DIY DOLLAR TREE MULTIPURPOSE HOME ORGANIZER | THRIFTY THURSDAY | METAL WIRE BASKET IDEAS & HACKS

 Welcome to LifeDIYJosie!

Hi there! I’m Josie, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for all things DIY and thrifty with you. As the creative mind behind the YouTube channel LifeDIYJosie, I love exploring fun, budget-friendly projects that inspire a more sustainable lifestyle.

One of my favorite series is Thrifty Thursdays, where I take you on a nostalgic journey through my favorite DIY moments from the past. Each week, we’ll dive into clever hacks, repurposed treasures, and the joy of finding beauty in the unexpected. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just looking to spruce up your space without breaking the bank, there’s something here for everyone. This week, we’ll be using some fantastic materials: a Dollar Tree rectangular shallow gold metal wire tray basket, two square deep metal wire baskets, five large zip ties, and a trusty pair of scissors. Together, we’ll transform these items into something practical and stylish for your home.

Join me on this creative adventure, and let’s make magic happen together—one thrifted find at a time!

Step 1: Arrange the Baskets

Start by positioning the rectangular shallow gold metal wire tray basket in the center of your workspace. Take the two square deep metal wire baskets and place them on either side of the rectangular tray. This arrangement will create a stylish and functional storage solution.

Step 2: Secure the Baskets

Once you’re happy with the layout, it’s time to secure the baskets together. Use the large zip ties to attach each square deep basket to the rectangular tray.

1. Insert a zip tie through the side of one square deep basket and loop it around the tray basket.
2. Pull the zip tie tight to ensure a secure connection.
3. Trim any excess zip tie material with scissors.
4. Repeat this process for the second square deep basket.

Step 3: Final Touches

Once everything is secured, give your new organizer a little shake to ensure everything is stable. You can now fill your baskets with items like craft supplies, kitchen utensils, or even small plants for a pop of greenery. You can also use it as an organizer for your towels, a place to store food produce and it can also be used for your hot drink station. The possibilities are endless.
