This Dollar Tree Storage Hack Is So Versatile, I’m Stealing It (It’s Brilliant!)
I’m a cleaning and organizing writer, and I’m going to let you in on a secret: Discount stores are the holy grail of ingenious storage finds, and Dollar Tree is the best of them all! Plus, thanks to social media, there’s a whole new world of game-changing organizing hacks and tricks using Dollar Tree items just waiting for you to try — from a smart shoe storage hack to a clever kitchen cupboard trick. Here’s another brilliant idea I stumbled upon that involves just a simple $1.50 kitchen staple: using a drawer pull to hack some storage.
Dollar Tree Hack for Instant Storage
In this Instagram Reel from creator Shannon Hale (@thedailydiyer), she proves how the simple metal find can create instant storage all over the home. She shows how you can attach it to a wooden board to create hanging jewelry storage, as a decorative to-do list holder or serving tray, and — the most creative one, in my opinion — as a taco stand. (I’d recommend keeping the pulls away from food, as it’s unclear if they’re food-safe, but it’s a great idea!).
What I love most about this DIY is how customizable it is, and how many smart ways it can be used. And, of course, how easy it is! The Dollar Tree pulls in the video are 2.5 inches by 8 inches by 0.8 inches, and can be attached via screws, or with hot glue or adhesive dots. They’re perfect for smaller storage items all around the home like necklaces, earrings, keys, or dog leashes. With a larger drawer pull, you could make a bespoke hand towel storage, pot rack, or even a rustic way to display kitchen utensils vertically.
Why This Trick Is So Versatile
This trick is one of so many brilliant Dollar Tree storage tricks that make the most out of limited space in your closet, kitchen, bathroom, and elsewhere — without breaking the bank. If you’re on the hunt for more storage hacks, this one triples pantry space in a snap and this one declutters cabinets effortlessly. If these haven’t convinced you to stop by your local Dollar Tree ASAP to get your home in tip-top shape for less, I don’t know what will.
