DIY A Clever Toilet Paper Storage Solution Using Dollar Tree Kitchen Items

When bathroom cabinets become overcrowded, you're left scrambling to figure out where to store your toilet paper. Placing it on a countertop can take away from the visual appeal of the room, and the back of a toilet typically doesn't provide enough space for more than a couple rolls. To solve this problem, consider creating a DIY toilet paper storage solution using Dollar Tree kitchen items. All you have to do is attach three of the Cooking Concepts Metal Cooling Racks to one another with the Tool Bench 8-in. Nylon Cable Ties. All of these materials are only $1.25 each. You can then use the cable ties to add a few plastic storage bins, such as the Woven-Looking Storage Baskets or the Stylish Deep Plastic Storage Bin, to the metal racks. The woven storage baskets are $1.25 each too, while the plastic storage bins are $3.

When you're done, hang this storage solution on a wall or door and place your toilet paper inside the baskets. Feel free to add other toiletries as well. If you would like to store everything out of sight, consider hanging the rack on the back of a linen closet door. You just need to ensure that there is enough space between the rack and the closet shelves for the door to be able to close completely. If you'd like to display the rack out in the open, you might want to take the time to decorate it with spray paint. There are plenty of ways to customize this bathroom storage hack however you'd like.

Before you get started with this DIY, you must decide whether you'd like to change the color of your metal cooling racks to add a touch of personalization. If you do, you may want to coat them with spray paint in a color of your choice before assembling everything. Apply the spray outside with a layer of cardboard to protect the floor underneath. Alternatively, you could tape down tarp to keep paint off the ground.

If you plan to display the organizer in a bathroom with gold hardware, consider coating the racks with a matching gold metallic spray paint, such as the Rust-Oleum Metallic Gold paint. If you have silver bathroom hardware, it may be best to leave the racks as they are since they'll already match. You could also give them a matte finish using the Rust-Oleum Chalked Ultra Matte Spray in a color of your choice.

After the spray paint dries, go ahead and assemble your Dollar Tree bathroom organizer by turning each of your three metal racks widthwise and attaching them to one another at the ends using nylon cable ties. You can then add your plastic storage baskets to the racks with the cable ties too. To hang your finished toilet paper solution on a door or wall, consider using self-adhesive hooks, such as the Command Large Utility Hooks. When you are done hanging this unexpected bathroom storage hack, place toilet paper inside it to keep your bathroom neat.
