Customize Your Storage Baskets With A Dollar Tree Mini Picture Frame Hack

Storage doesn't have to be dull or drab, and with so many creative DIYs and ideas on the internet, it's almost harder to find boring organization options over stylish ones. One of the simplest ways to hide clutter is to utilize baskets for stylish storage, and while this upgrade alone is already a great way to make rooms seem more decorative, there's a way to elevate them even more so you can get the most out of your storage. Rather than filling baskets and popping them into closets, under furniture, or even just up against walls and then having to search through them to remember what you put in there, you can add a simple Dollar Tree item that labels your wicker vessels. All you need are a few Dollar Tree frames and some glue, and you can turn these into tags that denote what's inside while keeping your home stylish and aesthetically pleasing!

One perk of this particular DIY is that it works with a variety of baskets. Use it on your wicker, woven, plastic, or even canvas holders to create simple organization. At your local Dollar Tree, look for 4 by 6-inch frames or smaller, like the 2 by 3-inch Special Moments Faux Wood Picture Frames. You have the option to choose larger ones, but these might feel too bulky or unbalanced, and it might be best to keep all frames the same size. If you have a particularly small basket, opt for a tinier frame. Once you've purchased your frames, you can take the time to paint, decoupage, or elevate them in any way you see fit.

Remove the inner paper and use home-printed labels or construction paper and decorative pens to create the notations of what resides in each basket. You can trim these as needed to fit your frames, and you can leave the plastic or glass in or take it out if you're worried About it breaking. Once you've inserted your labels, you're ready to glue the frames onto your baskets. Depending on the material, use hot glue, gorilla glue, or superglue to ensure the frames stay adhered.

It might help to lay the baskets on their edges opposite where you glued the frames to let the glue dry more thoroughly. Once adhered, you can add your baskets to closets, cabinets, pantries, shelves, scattered around your floor, or even as a DIY wall basket that is stylish as well as functional. Another perk of this particular hack is that you can always change out the labels whenever you add new items to your basket or reorganize your storage. This trick is also a great way to upgrade delivery boxes or other recycled containers you've turned into stylish storage, making them even more aesthetic and giving them a store-bought finish.
