1. DIY Wall Storage with Baskets

I love an easy storage solution! Grab some command hooks and two Dollar Tree baskets. Stick the hooks to the wall and place the baskets right on them—boom, instant shelves! Perfect for washcloths, hand towels, or anything small that needs a home.

2. Quick & Easy Towel Rack

Need a spot to hang towels? Pick up two Dollar Tree shelf liners, zip-tie them together, and secure them to the wall with nails or more command hooks. Slide your towels right in! You can even swap the liners for small crates if you want a sturdier version. Need something even bigger? Try using large storage bins and screwing them into the wall for a more permanent fix.

3. Organized Laundry Storage

Storage baskets aren’t just for organizing your pantry—they work great in the laundry room, too! I hung a towel rack and added bins for sorting supplies like dryer sheets, stain removers, and clothespins.

4. Drawer Organization Made Easy

Those little packs of baskets from Dollar Tree? They’re game-changers for drawer organization! Mix and match different sizes to fit your drawers perfectly. I use them for everything—kitchen utensils, office supplies, even my bathroom drawers! You can see my turorials in my post:

5. Drink Station Organization

Tea lover? Grab one of those skinny baskets, fill it with your favorite tea mixes, and place it inside a larger basket for the ultimate drink organization. While you’re at it, grab a book holder or magazine rack to store travel mugs and water bottles—no more toppling cups!

6. DIY Bookshelf with Dollar Tree Bins

For this one, I stacked three bins vertically and stuffed pool noodles behind them for extra stability. Then, I hot-glued everything together. To make it more polished, I cut foam board to size, covered it with contact paper, and added poster board inside to keep things from falling through the holes. Secure it to the wall, and now you have an adorable little bookshelf—bonus points if you add a coffee station on top!

Here is another version I created. I bought these dollar store baskets from Dollar Tree. Start by gluing 3 of the same sized basket together. After hot gluing to initially get them together I did place some E6000 for a more secure hold and let it dry.

The next step in this dollar store hack is to cut strips of pool noodles to go between the baskets and hot glue them into place. This will help the baskets stand up straight. For the bottom, I cut a section of pool noodle and then cut it in half. I hot glued the flat part of the noodle (so the rounded part would go on the floor) to what would become the bottom of the storage shelf.

Add some plastic baskets (I used different colors) inside your shelf and you have some extra storage bins where you might need it. Isn’t this a great Dollar Tree hack? It could be used for so many things this is an example of bathroom storage but you could also use it for toys, bedrooms, craft storage, etc.

7. Multi-Purpose Storage Caddy

I stained some Dollar Tree bins using Folk Art Home Decor Wood Tint and glued them together to create a cute little organizer. It works for coffee and tea supplies, kitchen spices, or even arts and crafts materials. How would you use it? Let me know in the comments!

8. Side Table from Trash Bins

Yes, you read that right—trash bins can become a chic side table!

Flip one bin upside down, glue another on top, and place a pizza pan on top.

Leave the pizza pan removable for storage inside, or glue it down for a permanent tabletop.

9. Seasonal Storage for Hats & Gloves

Assign each family member a Dollar Tree trash bin, label it, and hang it on the wall using command hooks. During winter, use it for hats and gloves. Swap it out in the summer for flip-flops, sunglasses, or pool gear!

10. Lazy Susan Organizer

Stack two cake pans with marbles in between for an easy DIY Lazy Susan. Add baking racks on top for even more organization. Use it for arts and crafts, kitchen seasonings, or even a homework station for the kids!

12. Transform Your Home with Dollar Tree Flower Basket Storage Hacks

So, here’s a fun little hack I tried—taking some flower baskets and placing them on a tomato cage. I added a few Dollar Tree bowls inside to keep things from falling through the gaps. It’s such a simple way to create unique storage for every room in your home! You won’t believe how versatile these baskets are.

18 How to Turn a Dollar Store Basket into a Beautiful Storage Solution

I’m all about easy, budget-friendly hacks, and this one is no exception! Take a plain Dollar Store basket and make it look better for storage. I started by gluing a ribbon around the basket with a hot glue gun, then added a pillowcase (inside out) for a cozy, decorative touch. The fabric not only looks great but also adds a bit of extra structure to the basket. You can use it to store anything you need.
