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.
