Maintaining a clutter-free home is a continuous challenge. It often seems like no matter how many times a surface is organized, the accumulation of knick-knacks is unavoidable. One strategy to address this issue is to designate areas on flat surfaces for storing smaller items that tend to cause clutter. Dollar Tree offers budget-friendly options for this purpose. Transforming ordinary containers into suitable storage solutions requires a bit of DIY creativity to ensure they blend seamlessly with your space.
A trifle bowl paired with a lazy Susan can be transformed into an ideal kitchen fruit bowl, pantry snack holder, bathroom soap storage, and more. By gluing these items together, painting them, and adding embellishments, you create a rotating storage zone for items you want to keep out of sight. This DIY home decor storage solution can bring peace of mind to your counters, tables, and shelves. The best part is the customization potential to match any home aesthetic.
Putting your Dollar Tree finds together for DIY storage
To create this stylish storage solution, you’ll need a trifle bowl (a display bowl with a stand or stem) and a lazy Susan from Dollar Tree. If stemmed dishes aren’t available, consider using plastic wavy neon bowls instead. Additional materials include glue, paint in your preferred color, and embellishments such as jute cord, lace trim, or stick-on stencils. With your supplies ready, you can craft a clever and straightforward way to gain extra counter storage space in your kitchen, bathroom, and beyond.
Begin by attaching the base of the bowl to the wooden spinner using hot glue or E6000 for a secure hold. Next, apply paint in a color that complements the surface and room where it will be placed. You might also consider using adhesive paper with marble or wood grain patterns, like Timeet peel and stick, to enhance the design. Add jute cord around the base or lace trim around the top, and fill it with items of your choice. This creation could serve as a welcoming addition to an entryway table or an organized solution on a home office desk to keep supplies tidy. Wherever it is placed, it will help eliminate clutter and provide extra surface space.
