Whether it’s for your bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, or office, this Dollar Tree storage hack is versatile, sturdy, and cost-effective. Follow this easy guide to build your own multipurpose floor shelf stand.
Materials Needed
- 4 Dollar Tree Plastic Baskets (Teal color recommended for a chic look)
- 2 Dollar Tree Mops (Use 4 for enhanced stability)
- 1 Pack of Dollar Tree Large Zip Ties (30 per pack; buy 2 if using 4 mops)
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Optional:
- Stronghold Glue (e.g., E6000 or FixAll glue from Dollar Tree)
- Piece of Wood or Foam Core Board (for added support at the base).
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mops for the Frame
- Remove the mop heads from the mop handles.
- Clean the handles to ensure no residue interferes with assembly.
- If using four mops, cut the handles to your desired height for each tier, ensuring uniformity.
Step 2: Attach the Baskets
- Place the first basket on a flat surface to serve as the base.
- Position the mop handles upright in each corner of the basket.
- Secure the handles to the basket using large zip ties. Tighten them to ensure stability.
- Repeat this step for the remaining baskets, spacing them evenly along the mop handles.
Step 3: Add Stability to the Structure
Optional Base Support:
- Cut a piece of wood or foam core board slightly larger than the bottom basket’s footprint.
- Attach the mop handles to the base using zip ties or stronghold glue for added durability.
Reinforce the structure with hot glue or E6000 where the handles and baskets meet.
Step 4: Customize Your Shelf
- Add decorative elements like ribbon, stickers, or paint to match your décor.
- For added functionality, line the baskets with Dollar Tree contact paper or foam sheets.
