Are you on a tight budget but still need to organize your house? We found dollar tree organization hacks that can help you organize your house without blowing your budget.
1. Use plastic laundry baskets for blankets.
If you’ve got way too many blankets, Dollar Tree organization can help you. Blankets are great to keep around the house because you can bundle up during the winter months and save money on your electric, but they can be difficult to find space for. The Dollar Tree sells large buckets that work perfect for blankets and are so cute!
2. Shower organizers are for more than just showers.
You can use a shower organizer in your bathroom cabinet, in your kitchen or anywhere else that you can put a hook. These are perfect for versatile dollar store organization and can make your home so much more organized.
3. Here’s some gift wrap dollar tree organization.
Actually use wrapping paper more than once. By using two Dollar Tree extension rods or paper towel holders, you can make a perfect spot for wrapping paper in your closet or on the back of your door. Also, buy your wrapping paper from the Dollar Tree. It’s prettier than butcher paper or newspaper, but still only costs a dollar!
4. Have missing socks? Here’s what to do.
This is a two-park sock Dollar Tree organization hack. First, put all your socks in a lingerie bag from the dollar store before you wash them. It will keep them together and might actually help them last longer! Part two: use a dollar tree sign, hot glue some clips onto it and clip the loner socks onto it somewhere close to your dryer. When you find the missing sock, you won’t be searching for the first one you found and be caught in the never-ending cycle of missing socks!
5. Organize your hair ties.
This one is so simple but anyone who uses hair ties probably understands it. Hair ties can end up on the floor, missing, all over the car and even in your cat’s stomach. To keep that from happening, invest in a few dollar tree carabiners. Keep one in your bathroom, your car, your purse and put your hair ties on it. When you take your hair tie out, you’ll have something right there you can put it on (instead of your wrist). Also, buy your hair ties at the Dollar Tree. Many stores have a huge selection.
6. Makeover your closet.
If your closet needs an upgrade, move away from the home improvement store. You can spend hundreds of dollars in “organization systems” and still not have what you want. Use Dollar Tree organization tools to help make your closet as organized as possible. Hooks, hangers, baskets and buckets can all give you extra space to store things in the closet.
7. Use stacking bins for cleaning supplies.
The Dollar Tree sells great stacking bins. You can stack up to three and they come in many different colors to match any type of decor. Use these bins to keep cleaning supplies in your bathroom, your kitchen and anywhere else you might need them. It’s also a great idea to buy your cleaning supplies from the Dollar Tree because they offer the same ingredients as name-brand cleaners but at a much lower price.
Bonus: splurge a little and get cleaning supplies for each bathroom and your kitchen. Having them closeby makes cleaning the space less of a chore!
8. Store your nail polish with Dollar Store organization.
If you have a lot of nail polish or even just some nail polish, you can get instant decor while also organizing. Use this dollar store organization hack to help make your space look better.

10. Take advantage of locker bins.
People might shy away from locker bins if they don’t have an actual locker, but it’s one of the best Dollar Tree organization ideas. Locker bins work great in closets, on dressers, in the pantry or even as just a catch-all in your kitchen or main space. If you have a couple extra dollars, spring for some metallic spray paint and give the bins a coat for an industrial look.
11. Set up a diaper changing station.
This is such a game changer. If you have a child who is still in diapers, you need a diaper changing station. Get a small bin or caddy from the dollar tree. Fill it with diapers, wipes and ointment. You can also put other things in there like a pacifier or dirty diaper bags (from the Dollar Tree). Keep one in each room of your house that you might change a diaper in.
This also makes the perfect baby shower gift! For the price of the caddy, a small pack of Dollar Tree wipes (they sometimes sell the name brand in small packs), ointment and diapers, you can give a super functional gift.
12. Make a cute key holder.
If you are always losing your keys, a dedicated space for them can help. Choose a central location in your home for this Dollar Tree organization idea.

17. Organize your cords.
Cord organizers can cost up to $10 even from discount stores! You don’t need a fancy silicone cord organizer, though. Instead, use dollar store binder clips to organize all your cords.

You don’t need to do anything fancy to make a spice rack from the Dollar Tree.

Use two dollar tree pans, a candlestick holder and industrial glue to make a tiered tray for your bathroom. You can put things like nail polish, makeup and more on these trays.
