Dollar Tree Items That Double As Perfect Toilet Paper Storage Solutions

Every bathroom needs a steady supply of toilet paper. It should be within easy reach, and there should always be backup options to restock when needed. With a little DIY and a few cheap purchases from the local Dollar Tree, you can ensure you always have a place to store your extra rolls.

These innovative ideas don't just use traditional TP holders; instead, they repurpose everyday objects to store the excess supply. Some allow you to store toilet paper more discreetly, while others leave this bathroom essential on full display. Most of these projects are doable for under $5 to $10, making them highly affordable for households on any budget. Although the overall price is the same, some ideas are more functional than aesthetic. However, there are ways to dress them up and make them more appealing with your interior design. Read on to learn how to incorporate these DIY toilet paper holders in any large or small bathroom space.

Whenever new holidays roll around, dollar stores release new decor befitting current trends. Create a toilet paper holder that suits the current season using Dollar Tree's rectangular wooden signs and hot glue. Tuck this box next to a toilet, adding a decorative appeal to a bathroom while hiding toilet paper close at hand. Amazon and Michaels carry non-toxic wood paints to make the DIY toilet paper box more colorful and suitable to a bathroom's color scheme.

Toilet plungers are cheap and designed for foul tasks, but you can repurpose a plunger for other uses. Remove the cup from a new Dollar Tree 19-inch plunger and combine it with the wood box recommended by @createwithlolo, a single-tier shelf, or a plant stand. Use hot glue or super glue to construct this DIY stick stand, and slide the completed project next to your toilet. You can pile up to four toilet paper rolls on the stick, making them easy to reach and store long-term.

If you're looking for an impromptu way to store toilet paper, this project is perfect for in-between homes, dorms, and other short-term living situations. Assemble Dollar Tree's two-stack organizational shelves to make a quick holder for up to six toilet paper rolls. This holder fits on countertop corners and the backs of toilets, making it a perfect quick solution for toilet paper storage. These shelves also have small holes on the bottom, which keep them ventilated. This helps to prevent excess moisture from being absorbed by the rolls, a common issue in bathrooms with toilet condensation.

Find a storage box about 18 inches long and 6 inches wide that fits on the back of your toilet and holds multiple rolls of toilet paper. A box around 14 inches tall can hold up to twelve rolls of toilet paper, meaning you can store bulk packs on the back of your toilet easily. You can pick a box that already fits your bathroom's interior design or wrap the box in Dollar Tree's vinyl paper using its included adhesive backing.

If you have company coming over or just want to dress up the few spare toilet paper rolls you have lying around, adorn them in Dollar Tree's tissue paper or disposable napkins. It's a bit tedious, so this might not be a long-term solution for disguising your toilet paper rolls. However, it'll dress up your bathroom when you're hosting events or don't want bare toilet paper rolls sitting out in the open. Consider also tucking cinnamon sticks or fragrance sticks in the hollow center to add a pleasant fragrance.

Renters often have to find no-drill solutions for adding storage around their homes. Pick up an over-the-door hook and decorative rope from Dollar Tree for simple single-roll storage. Hang the hanger from your toilet bowl lid, and string the toilet paper through the rope to create a hanging holder within easy reach from the porcelain throne.

The beauty of a makeshift wall hook and chopstick (or skewer) toilet paper holder is that you can repurpose both items for other DIY projects or household uses later on. They make a great temporary solution — all you need is Dollar Tree's bamboo skewer pack and plastic removable wall hooks. The wall hooks have weak holding strength, so be gentle when pulling toilet paper sheets from the roll. Installing this DIY doesn't require drilling, making it great for rentals without pre-installed toilet paper roll holders.

A wire hanger isn't an aesthetically pleasing solution, but it can hold your toilet paper roll in a pinch. All you need is some metal wiring, such as Dollar Tree's metal wreath, and a pair of wire cutters. Snip the metal and reshape it into a hanging hook that you can dangle off a wall hook or the edge of your toilet lid. This is a great way to hang toilet paper rolls in compact spaces, such as studio apartments or RVs, or in spaces where interior design isn't prioritized.

If you're looking for a minimum-effort project that adds a rustic or bohemian touch to your bathroom, look no further than Dollar Tree's woven baskets. If you chose a different basket, just make sure it's small enough to fit on the back of your toilet tank lid, which typically ranges from 12 x 6 inches to 24 x 12 inches. If it doesn't fit on your toilet tank, you can also put the box in a bathroom closet or on the counter as needed. If you prefer something with a lid, try Dollar Tree's collapsible storage boxes.

It only takes a single purchase to make this DIY toilet paper holder. Dollar Tree carries metal paper towel holders that also hold toilet paper rolls. Place the receptacle in the corner of your bathroom, in a cabinet, on a closet shelf, or in any other open space to stack up to three toilet paper rolls on top of one another. Dress up this simple creation by putting it on top of a short stool table or other piece of furniture.
