TikTok's Genius Paper Towel Holder Hack To Save Space Storing Coffee Mugs

If you are a coffee or tea drinker, you know how difficult it can be to make space for all of your hot beverage preparation supplies. Items like coffee pods and sweetener packets easily create clutter if you do not assign them specific storage space. Coffee mugs can also take up a lot of room, especially for those who own a large collection. Rather than cramming coffee cups into stuffed kitchen cabinets, try this hack instead. Consider displaying them on your countertop by hanging them from a paper towel holder.

TikTok user @notablerose shared a video showing what this crafty DIY looks like once it has all come together. To assemble, simply slide the handle of each mug onto the center of the holder. You can place a cake turntable under the paper towel holder to make it easier to rotate the stacked mugs. Consider attaching the paper towel holder to the cake turntable with glue to stabilize this DIY. 

Overall, this project is super easy and affordable. It can be assembled in just a few minutes. Feel free to place your finished coffee mug holder anywhere you see fit. However, if you have used our guide to design an at-home coffee station, you may want to set it there. Coffee or tea lovers who own many mugs can make more than one of these DIYs to accommodate their entire collection.
