8. Recycled Creamer Bottles
I’ve been looking at food containers differently lately. I’ve always just thought of them as trash when I was done using them, but a lot of them can actually be very useful storage containers. The Coffee-Mate Creamer bottles are particularly nice for storing and keeping pantry items fresh. The small opening at the top is just the right size for dispersing small snacks, sugar, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. You can also use them as a water bottle!
9. Vertical Bakeware Storage
Instead of stacking your pans and baking dishes on top of each other (when you have to remove every single one to get to the bottom), turn a bakeware organizer on its side and secure it to the cupboard with cable clips. It’s like a mini shelf that’s just the right size for all of those otherwise hard-to-get-to dishes.
10. Under-Sink Storage Solution
I love this idea for the bathroom for all of those little hair accessories and miscellaneous cosmetics! It would probably work best for lighter items in the long run (I’m not entirely sure how much weight those adhesive utility hooks hold and for how long), but this idea takes up hardly any space. Simply use command hooks to keep the baskets securely hung to the back of a cabinet door. The Blogspot where I found this idea no longer exists, but this seems like a pretty simple DIY project.

11. Budget-Friendly Drawer Dividers
Why spend the money when you probably have things around the house that will serve the purpose of drawer dividers without the added expense!? Get creative with things like silicone muffin liners, flat tupperware, an empty egg carton, or a shoe box lid. This way you can store all of your little odds and ends without losing them in the back of the drawer.
12. Egg Carton Storage
My family goes through a couple of egg cartons almost every week. Lately I’ve been buying the organic Eggland’s Best that come in those clear plastic containers. They are really sturdy and easy to clean — brilliant for storing some of my daughter’s small toys, like her Barbie accessories, pencil toppers, bouncy balls, jacks, etc. And, because they are made to keep a fragile egg from breaking, they are just perfect for storing your small Christmas ornaments, too!
13. DIY Christmas Ornament Storage
Here’s a cheap and easy way to store your fragile Christmas ornaments without the risk of them breaking! Glue plastic cups to cardboard, and then stack them in a storage bin. It will also keep the hooks from tangling. I know I’m guilty of piling my ornaments together in a box, and then dealing with the madness of separating them come next Christmas. Great solution!
14. Ceiling Storage
What a great way to take advantage of empty space! Use the ceiling of a closet to store those pesky wrapping paper rolls that always get crumpled and lost in the closet. You could also do this on the side of a closet to keep them standing upright and out of the way.
15. DIY Gift Wrap Organizer
I don’t know how many times I’ve bought gift wrap only to use half of it, and then forget about the rest because it’s buried deep in the back of my closet (probably crumpled and useless). I love this idea because you can hang it anywhere you’d like on a wall and then easily move it later if needed. It’s really rather simple, too! Curtain rods, hooks, and a picture frame. Check out the full instructions here.
16. Repurposed Trash Can
A trash can is the perfect size to store long tubes of wrapping paper. You wouldn’t even need the cardboard tubes that come with the gift wrap for this one. Just toss your paper in. To make it a little more mobile, add wheels on the bottom with cushioned tape. Check out the instructions for that here.
17. Easy Christmas Light Storage
Tangles, tangles, and more tangles! This is what we have to look forward to every year when we break out all of the Christmas lights. It gives me anxiety! Here’s an easy and cheap solution to that problem: Wrap them around pieces of cardboard and long wrapping paper rolls to keep them better organized and tangle free.
18. Foil & Plastic Wrap Storage
The back of a pantry door is the perfect place to store your rolls of plastic wrap and foil. It’s out of the way, doesn’t take up needed drawer or counter space, and it’s easy to pull the wrap off of the box while it’s secured to the door. You will find full instructions for this project over at Ask Anna.
19. File Box Appliance Storage
If you’re anything like me, you leave your hair dryer, curling iron, and hair straightener on the counter while it cools, and then it just ends up sitting there all day cluttering up your counter space. Check out this solution to that problem using a file box! Attach it to a wall or the side of a counter for easy access, yet still out of the way and aesthetically pleasing. Read more about how this was done here.
