Create Extra Kitchen Storage With A Must-Try DIY Dollar Tree Mug Rack

It might be time to rethink your coffee mug storage if your cabinets are jam-packed. Thankfully, you can create more space for your coffee cups pretty easily with the help of a mug rack. Instead of purchasing one from a store, why not create your own? You can buy most of the supplies you'll need from Dollar Tree for only $1.25 per item. Not only is this DIY budget-friendly, but it's also super easy to complete. All you have to do is line up two Black Plastic Broom Handles so that they are parallel to one another, then use zip ties to secure three or four of the 6-Hook Over the Door Hangers right in between them.

Spray paint your assembled coffee mug holder any color that complements your kitchen. Also use a couple of the Frienda Curtain Rod Brackets to hang your new organizer up on a wall. Finally, load your mugs onto each of the 6-Hook Hangers' hooks. You can also place hanging decor pieces on the hooks to boost the visual appeal of your coffee mug holder. Feel free to use any unoccupied hooks for towels, hanging storage baskets, aprons, or even large cooking utensils.

To create this coffee mug rack for a perfectly organized kitchen, line the broom handles up next to each other and place three or four of the 6-Hook Hangers in between them, ensuring that they're evenly spaced. You can then pull the hooked ends of the metal hanger outward to straighten them. Next, glue those ends of the hangers to the broom handles. Consider using a hot glue gun so that the adhesive dries a bit faster than using E6000. When you're done, use cable ties to adhere the hangers to the handles as the glue dries.

Next, take the nearly-finished coffee mug organizer outside and lay it on a piece of cardboard to spray paint it safely. Consider using a flashy metallic spray paint in your favorite finish to make this DIY look a bit more sophisticated. You could do this with the Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint. Also consider covering the broom handles with twine or faux flower garlands. Finally, screw your curtain rod brackets into a wall in your kitchen, and slide your new coffee mug organizer right into the brackets to hang it up. To make this storage solution more of an at-home coffee preparation station, consider hanging some of the INJORAN Fruit Baskets on the bottom row of hooks. You then have the option to place items like coffee pods or sugar packets inside them.
