16 Stylish DIY Keurig Coffee Pod Storage Solutions For Tidier Countertops

Do you like watching ASMR videos of people restocking their K-cup holders? If the answer is a resounding yes, chances are you've compared your messy countertops to their tidy ones, and probably blamed the disorganization on a lack of fancy organizers. The good news is you can DIY varied storage solutions to keep your counters tidy. Before you ask — no, we aren't talking about upcycling your old mason jars or boxes as coffee pod holders. We're talking about fancy solutions that might find a spot in one of your ASMR videos.

For instance, you can use a kitchen drawer essential to keep your Keurig pods organized. The cutlery divider will look as good as high-end coffee pod organizers and keep your caffeine obsession under wraps. Similarly, if you think you need a carousel to prevent your coffee pods from cluttering your kitchen countertops, a few Dollar Tree kitchen supplies will assist you in putting your own spin (pun intended) on the classic (yet expensive) solution. Excited to explore the ways you can organize your Keurig coffee pods? Here are 16 stylish solutions to keep your countertops clutter-free and your K-cups comfortable in a chic holder.

Finding an adorable coffee pod organizer that's budget-friendly and easy to DIY, yet still elegant, can seem like a tall order. Luckily, you just need a few wood pallets (each basket will require five pallets) and two wood planks from Dollar Tree to craft a simple and stylish countertop storage idea that's perfect for Keurig pods. To keep it budget friendly, Dollar Tree's Crafter's Square Wood Pallets and Crafter's Square Wood Planks should do the trick, each costing $1.25. Use the pallets to create an open cube and glue them at an angle to the planks to make retrieval and restock easier. Once the holder is sufficiently dry, give it a coat of paint to match your kitchen's aesthetic.

A great way to repurpose your ice trays is to use them as your K-cup holders. Simply grab one with cells that are slightly bigger than the circumference of the K-cups before plopping them in the tray. You can employ just one tray or use multiple based on the number of K-cups you want to organize. Position your K-pod-filled trays near your coffee machine, place them on top of your countertop organizers, or hide them in a drawer or shelf in your kitchen for a tidier look.

Want a multi-tier coffee pod holder gracing your kitchen countertops? Pop into your local Dollar Tree to grab a few Crafter's Square Wooden Crates with Handles and and Crafter's Square Wood Dowels. You'll need one crate for each tier and four dowels between each tier (a three-tier piece would require eight dowels), so determine the number of levels you'd like and buy the supplies accordingly. Cut the dowels to size and paint the glued tiers to customize the holder, but leave enough space between each level to comfortably store and pull out the coffee pods. Dollar Tree's Chalkboard Sticker Assortment packs will come in handy if you get varied K-cup flavors.

Self-adhesive coffee pod organizers can be a nifty solution to your cluttered countertop problem. However, if you're not a fan of their price tags, DIY your own version. You'll just need a PVC FRP Division Bar Moulding and a few Command Strips. Cut the panels to size with a sharp pair of scissors and stick them vertically or horizontally to the insides of your cabinets, underneath them, or on the wall near your coffee machine, then just slide the pods in between them.

If careful organization seems like a lot of work, try out this solution. All you have to do is grab an old translucent flower vase. If it's cloudy from hard water or water stains, get mineral buildup off of glass planters with one common kitchen ingredient. Now, simply decant your coffee pods into the planter and decorate it with paint, twine, ribbons, contact paper, or fabric to prettify it. While you can view every pod inside the planter, you might face issues in retrieving the K-cups if the vase's mouth is too small to fit your hand in, so choose wisely.

The Dollar Tree wooden sign solution is ideal for individuals requiring a dedicated caddy for their precious K-cups. You'll need three hollow signs — like Halloween signs or Valentine's sentiment signs – per tier, so purchase them in increments of three based on the number of levels you want in your caddy. You'll also need two cutting boards to craft the sides, such as these Cooking Concepts Cutting Boards. Paint the signs to hide their origins and use Mod Podge to glue contact paper on the cutting board for a high-end look. Further decorate the holder with twine, ribbon, or fabric prior to placing your K-cups inside.

In case you like the thought of a K-cup caddy on your counter but can't spare the space for a chunky design, use a single wooden sign for each level (instead of three). You'll also need two planks to hold the signs in a caddy format. Paint the signs and planks before sticking them together — and your narrow shelf is ready to go. Slide it in any available nook or cranny to keep your countertops looking neat. To enhance its aesthetic appeal, choose a contact paper that goes with your countertops or coffee machine, and cut and glue it to the visible portion of the caddy.

If you like to switch things up every once in a while and the idea of a coffee version of Russian roulette sounds intriguing, grab a few Clear Glass Cylinders Vases from Dollar Tree and empty your pods inside them one-by-one. Now, for the interesting part: making the cylinders spin at your whim. Simply house the filled glasses on an old turntable. In case you don't have a spare one, you can purchase a 2-pack of Clear Lazy Susan Organizers. To keep them in place while spinning, secure them to the Lazy Susan with museum putty.

Are you a fan of the fancy coffee pod carousel? Repurpose a Dollar Tree napkin holder as a K-cup organizer. For this hack, pick up Dollar Tree's Wire Paper Towel Holder, four Wire Napkin Holders, and Nylon Cable Ties. Once you have the supplies, affix the napkin holders to the paper towel holders using a generous amount of zip ties. Regarding the carousel part, get two tin pie pans and add a few beads to one of them. Place the other on top before adding your napkin holder to the mix to DIY a revolving carousel that can hold your pods.

Short on space on your kitchen countertops? DIY a stylish Keurig K-cup organizer made out of Dollar Tree wire baskets and mount your coffee pod holders on the wall instead. Grab a flat Essentials Wire Tray, two Dollar Tree Wire Baskets, and a few zip ties to build a contemporary pod organizer. Personalize the organizer with a few coats of spray paint or hide the zip ties with faux flowers, ribbons, or lace, and then hang the finished product near your caffeine machine using Command Hooks.

Want a stunning coffee station to not only hold your K-cups, but also creamer and sugar packets? Take inspiration from the DIY video above and visit your nearest Dollar Tree to buy a few wooden crates with handles, Crafter's Square Wooden Decor Boxes with Lids, and a Crafter's Square Wood Beads. Glue them all together and spray paint your finished station prior to positioning it on your countertop. Use glitter, shining stones, ribbons, and lace to make your coffee station stand out. Don't hesitate to store your tea packs in the station if you have some space left.

This is another DIY solution that'll comfortably hold all your coffee- and tea-related supplies. You'll need a couple of paper towel holders and some wooden planks to craft the holder. Zip ties will help you hold it all together. However, a couple spare ties might not cut it for this hack, so get a pack or two since you'll need quite a few. Additionally, be careful while tying the holders together or you could end up with a wonky design. Finally, paint or stain the tied holders and the glued wooden boards to make them look more complete.

This DIY Keurig coffee pod storage solution is perfect for lovers of gothic decor or "The Vampire Diaries" who don't mind a decorative organizer that's a little too on the nose. Purchase a 12-inch Creative Hobbies Coffin Box and use paints, stains, or diabolical signs to add a touch of mystery. Now, place your K-cups inside and enjoy your morning coffee out of a coffin. For a hyper-realistic look, line the insides with red felt and fabric and a few faux flowers or skeletons.

Do you want an organizer that costs you zilch (in new supplies) and looks stylish? Grab an empty cardboard box, seal the flaps (except the one at the bottom for restocking), and cut a hole in one of its sides. This hole will serve as your personal K-cup window. Apply a layer (or two) of gesso (such as U.S. Art Supply Store's White Gesso) onto its exteriors. This will prime the surface and make it easier for the paint to adhere. Wait for it to cure and apply a few coats of acrylic paint in the color of your choice. Or, hide the basic box with a gorgeous wrapping paper, but be careful around the hole and the bottom flaps.

Giant coffee cup-inspired K-pod holders look pretty and will keep your countertops tidy. Alas, they seldom fall in the budget-friendly category. But, don't despair. Craft your own store-like holder using a Dollar Tree Essentials Wire Waste Basket. A little pressure and expert-level hand-molding will help you achieve the desired shape. Spray paint the cup-esque holder and add a wood coaster label to store all your coffee capsules. For a hyper-realistic look, get Floral Garden Metal Wreath Forms to fashion a giant handle using pliers and some garden wire.

You might have been using your Dollar Tree Glass Taper Candleholders for their intended purpose, but what if we told you that a few coats of paint will turn them into the perfect base for your farmhouse-inspired K-cup organizer? Along with the holder, you'll need a clear glass dinner plate and a round wire basket (keep the handles or take them out — your choice). This DIY portion is incredibly simple. You just have to glue the supplies together and your coffee pod holder is ready to be displayed on your countertops!
