Do you struggle with organizing your pantry, cabinets, or countertops? If so, this simple and affordable DIY project is the perfect solution for you! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a stylish 3-tier shelf pantry organizer using only a few Dollar Tree supplies. This organizer is not only budget-friendly but also multipurpose, making it a great addition to your kitchen, bathroom, or craft room.
Materials You Will Need:
- 2 Dollar Tree Cabinet Shelves/Risers
- 3 Dollar Tree Acrylic Party Trays
- Hot Glue Sticks and a Glue Gun
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have all your materials ready. The cabinet shelves or risers will serve as the tiers, and the acrylic party trays will act as the shelves. You can find these items in the kitchen or party sections of Dollar Tree.
Step 2: Position the First Tier
Place one of the cabinet shelves on a flat surface. This will be the base of your 3-tier shelf organizer. Make sure it’s stable and level.
Step 3: Attach the First Acrylic Tray
Using the hot glue gun, apply a generous amount of glue along the top edge of the cabinet shelf frame. Quickly but carefully press one of the acrylic trays onto the glued surface. Hold it in place for about 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Tip: For extra stability, you can add a small line of glue along the inner sides of the tray where it touches the metal frame.
Step 4: Create the Middle Tier
Place the second cabinet shelf on top of the first acrylic tray. Center it as best as you can. Use hot glue along the edges of the metal frame and firmly press down. This forms the second tier of your organizer.
Step 5: Add the Second Acrylic Tray
Repeat the process from Step 3 to attach the second acrylic tray to the top of the middle tier. This tray will act as your middle shelf.
Step 6: Build the Final Tier
Position the last acrylic tray on top of the second tier. You can glue this tray directly onto the metal frame of the second riser, completing the 3-tier design.
Optional: If you want more height, you can add another cabinet shelf and tray to make a taller 4-tier organizer.
Step 7: Let It Dry and Set
Allow the entire structure to dry for about 10-15 minutes. Once the hot glue has fully set, gently test the stability of the organizer.
Step 8: Style and Organize
Your DIY 3-tier shelf pantry organizer is now ready to use! Here are a few ideas on how you can use it:
