Do you need a stylish, budget-friendly solution to declutter your countertops or organize your tabletop? Look no further! This simple DIY project uses Dollar Tree items to create a multipurpose, 3-tier organizer perfect for holding everything from toiletries to pantry goods. With just a few supplies and minimal effort, you’ll have an organizer that’s both functional and beautiful.
Materials Needed
- 2 Dollar Tree paper towel holders (choose pre-painted white ones if available).
- 3 Dollar Tree rectangular wire baskets.
- 2 Dollar Tree square wire baskets.
- Zip ties.
- Scissors.
- Hot glue gun.
- Glue sticks.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Assemble the Base
- Take one paper towel holder and place it upright on your workspace.
- Position a square wire basket at the base of the holder. Secure it tightly using zip ties. This will serve as the bottom shelf. Trim excess zip tie ends with scissors.
Step 2: Add the Middle Layer
- Stack a rectangular wire basket above the square basket. Use the paper towel holder's vertical bars to anchor the rectangular basket in place.
- Secure the basket using zip ties at each corner, ensuring it is level. Trim the ties.
Step 3: Create the Top Layer
- Repeat the process with another rectangular wire basket to form the top tier.
- Secure it firmly with zip ties, leaving enough space above for easy access.
Step 4: Attach the Second Stand
- Place the second paper towel holder next to the structure you just built. Align it so that its base supports the other end of the wire baskets.
- Secure all layers using zip ties, attaching the baskets to both holders for added stability.
Step 5: Add the Topmost Basket
- Place the final square wire basket on the very top of your organizer for bonus storage.
- Secure it with zip ties at all corners.
Step 6: Final Touches
- Double-check all zip ties to ensure everything is tight and stable.
- If needed, use a hot glue gun to add extra reinforcement where the baskets meet the stands.
Tips and Tricks
- Spray-paint the entire organizer in your favorite color for a cohesive, polished look.
- Line the wire baskets with decorative fabric or shelf liners for a softer touch.
- Use this organizer in the kitchen, bathroom, or even your craft room!
