This $7 Dollar Tree Kitchen Storage Hack Is the Smartest Way to Organize a Cabinet

I enjoy cooking, but often feel overwhelmed by cleaning and organizing my kitchen — especially the cabinets and counter. They are usually a jumble of tableware, serveware, napkins, and random knickknacks. So I’m constantly on the hunt for budget-friendly kitchen storage organizers. Recently I saw an incredible storage hack to help organize kitchen items, and it utilizes products found at Dollar Tree. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!

Content creator Mst_Tips shared an Instagram Reel showcasing a super-easy kitchen storage hack utilizing napkin holders and zip ties from Dollar Tree. In the video, she takes four Cooking Concepts Wire Napkin Holders and connects them with Tool Bench Nylon Cable Ties, making a super-handy rack to place kitchen essentials, including crockery, dishes, cutting boards, napkins, towels, and even Nespresso pods.

The DIY rack created by this hack can be placed horizontally to vertically organize dishware and napkins, or placed vertically to horizontally store smaller items like Nespresso coffee pods. In total, this kitchen storage hack costs $6.50 (before taxes), which makes it a very cheap and smart trick to try for multiple kitchen cabinets.

However, if you want to skip the effort of buying individual items from Dollar Tree and putting the rack together, you can find a multifunctional cabinet organizer that’ll work just the same on Amazon (and for a comparable price, too). For $12.99 you get a two-pack of organizers that have five slots. It can be used for many different purposes, just like the Dollar Tree creation. Put it in a cabinet to store plates, or on the counter for cutting boards — the possibilities are endless.
