Hey there! Are you tired of clutter taking over your space? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with this super easy and affordable DIY project. Using just a few items from Dollar Tree, you can create a sleek and functional over-the-door wall organizer that’s perfect for any room in your home. The best part? It costs less than $5 to make! Let’s dive in.
What You’ll Need
Here’s the short shopping list:
- 2 sink mats – $2
- 2 sets of 3 small white containers – $2
- 15 cable or zip ties – $1 (you’ll have plenty left for other projects!)
- Scissors
Everything can be snagged at Dollar Tree, so it’s super budget-friendly.
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep the Sink Mats
Start by laying the two sink mats side by side. The little holes in the mats are going to make this project a breeze.
Step 2: Connect the Mats
Overlap the edges of the mats just a bit and use zip ties to link them together. Add about 5–6 ties evenly across the overlapping section to keep it sturdy. Snip off the extra ends of the zip ties so everything looks neat.
Step 3: Attach the Containers
Now, let’s add those handy little containers. Decide where you want them on the mats—maybe three on the top row and three on the bottom? Use two zip ties for each container, threading them through the holes in the mat and securing them nice and snug.
Step 4: Reinforce Everything
Double-check that all the zip ties are tight and secure. If anything feels wobbly, add a couple more ties.
Step 5: Add a Way to Hang It
For an over-the-door setup, loop a few zip ties at the top of the mat to act as hooks. If you’re mounting it to a wall, adhesive hooks or command strips will do the trick.
