Beloved discount chain Dollar Tree is full of great organization supplies for nearly any room in the house, including the bathroom. If you just added a new vanity to elevate your space or are dealing with a cluttered mess, Dollar Tree is the place to shop. Some DT merchandise, such as their baskets, bins, and various compartment organizers, may seem to have a distinct purpose. Yet Dollar Tree products offer endless versatility beyond their original function. You might be looking for savvy ways to organize your beauty room and beyond. In just a quick shopping trip at Dollar Tree, you can come away with the bins and other pieces you need to perfectly organize everything on your vanity, or everything you need to sort makeup, haircare, or jewelry. 

Buying from Dollar Tree is great for when you want organization on a budget, especially if you compare the cost of the brand's products to that of other stores. The company's stream of new products and old favorites can help you get spaces of any size neat while stretching your dollar. It doesn't matter what you want to declutter, store, or organize, you can probably find what you need at Dollar Tree. Not to mention, with a little creativity, you could even create your own budget DIY makeup vanity with Dollar Tree items. With that in mind, here are the 12 best products for organizing your vanity, each sold for $1.25 in-store and online.

If you're clueless on how to store hair ties or scrunchies, try this. You may have seen the Cooking Concepts Nickel Colored Wire Paper Towel Roll Holders at Dollar Tree for your kitchen, but consider repurposing them for your vanity as well. Just slide the hair ties in a stack onto the holder, and then you'll have them nearby when you want to style or put up your hair. You can even attach hair clips, too. We can't guarantee this will stop your cats or kid from stealing them, though! 

Is an array of makeup palettes covering your vanity? Do you want a better way to find and retrieve that certain palette when you need it? Stop by the kitchen and housewares aisle of Dollar Tree for the Essentials White Wire Dish Rack. The open design and slightly-raised legs make it a good way to store your palettes neatly. You can even customize it by threading in a few faux flowers from the crafting section and spray-painting it your favorite color — or a dramatic gold.

With so many makeup brushes, keeping them all together can be quite annoying. You might have limited room, so just arranging them out in a fan probably isn't an option. Dollar Tree vases are perfect for chic storage hacks for nearly anything. The vases come in various sizes and shapes, such as the Clear Glass Cylinder Vase. With the addition of some vase filler materials, such as the Floral Garden Diamond Shape Vase Filler, you can create an elegant makeup brush storage system with the vases helping raise the cosmetics tools.

Foam rollers can do more than just add some curl and bounce to your hair. If you have a stack of rings that you constantly take off each night, make sure you don't lose them with this DIY featuring a set of Dollar Tree's Foam Rollers and the Essentials Clear Plastic Desktop Organizers. The rollers sit comfortably inside the box, offering cushioning and protection for your rings, just like a ring holder. Slide the drawer closed at night, and you'll be able to easily retrieve rings in the morning.

You shouldn't have any more missing earrings when you use one of the Cooking Concepts Splatter Screens as a holder. You can wrap the handle with a piece of fabric, washi tape, or rope. You can also break it off, and prop up the screen with a picture easel. Some DIYers have opted to keep the handle, and instead, sink it into a vase of glass beads or decorative rocks. For an extra touch, glue one of the Luminessence Glass Mirror Candleholders in the center to help you put on your earrings. 

Dollar Tree's various Borderless Picture Frames can help you elevate all of your foundation, perfume, lipstick, and any other beauty need. Just lay them down in the drawer face up, and then their raised edge offers you a better vantage look at the stacked products. You can add a cabinet liner to keep them from sliding, if needed. Just be sure you measure the dimensions of your drawers to see which of the available frame sizes work best, as well as how many you need you cover fill the drawer.

Eyeliners and eye shadow brushes' tall, skinny size means they can easily roll away on your vanity. Grab one of the Crafter's Square Pencil and Brush Organizers and use it not for paint brushes, but for eyeliners, makeup brushes, and other must-haves for your vanity. Pair it with one of the trays from Dollar Tree, and you've got a decorative setup that looks great while still keeping your stuff organized. The pencil holder's ample 49 spaces offer a lot of storage.

The versatility of the Cooking Concepts Metal Cooling Racks will have you making a clever organizer for your beauty products or perfume in no time. Combine with a foam board, some vinyl contact paper, zip ties, a cabinet shelf, and some of the Essentials Gold Wire Trays to make an elevated product display. You could also mount the rack to the wall, then attach baskets or cups with zip ties to hold brushes, combs, hair spray, and miscellaneous items. Optional is spray-painting the items for a customized look. 

Hair dryers, curling irons, and other hair care tools need careful storage, or else you might have a mess on cords in your bathroom or on the vanity. Slide them into the Teaching Tree Colorful Plastic Book Bins, and you can keep them neatly organized on your vanity top, counter, or underneath your sink. Their tall yet compact size also lets you maximize your space, if needed. The bins often come in a variety of designs in-store, so you might find one that works perfectly with your design/color scheme.

If space is limited, don't worry — get creative with how your store items for you and your partner, if needed. With some glue, you can fashion a storage tower for toothpaste and more with the Wood Slat Crates and two pieces of Dollar Tree craft wood to form a mini tower for your vanity. Keep it unfinished, paint it a bright color, or apply a dark stain for a more rugged look. The final result can hold bottles of oil and other grooming products while doubling your storage capacity. 

Do have a lot of random "stuff" on your vanity? Earrings, faux eyelashes, and other small items can be kept safe in the Tool Bench Hardware Storage Cases With Compartments from Dollar Tree. While made for screws, nuts, and bolts, the boxes make great vanity storage. They're also easy to stack in case you need to use more than one. An alternative with bigger compartments is the Jot Plastic 9-Compartment Organizer Case. Both will help you keep a cleaner vanity and reduce the chances you'll lose something.

Dollar Tree's Plastic Desktop Organizers and their drawers don't need to stay together as sold. They can be easily separated for a clever storage hack. Attach Command Strips or another adhesive to the backs, then mount on the wall or inside a cabinet to hold brushes, sponges, and other tools. You'll be using otherwise wasted space and have items right where you need them, instead of having to hunt them down when you're getting ready in the morning. You can add a decorative touch by lining them with contact paper too.
