Dollar Store Organizing Hacks

1. Organize all your art supplies in a plastic caddie.

Love this idea, I have a plastic caddie from the Dollar Tree that I store my cleaning supplies in, but never thought to use it for this! 

This would be great for your kids as well!

3. Store clothing, scarves and purses in baskets or storage boxes.

The dollar store has a some great basket and storage boxes.

Before I heard about the Marie Kondo filing folding method, I would have never thought to store clothing upright in baskets.

You can check out how to “file” your clothing and learn her signature folding method here.

This organizing idea really comes in handy, especially when you have a lot of shelf space in your closet. It’s especially awesome to fold scarves and tanks this way into baskets.

One thing worth mentioning is make sure the baskets and storage boxes have a smooth surface inside (if not you may want to line them with something).

You don’t want anything snagging your clothing.

4. Grab a cooling rack and a dry erase board and you have the sweetest DIY jewelry organizer ever!
