These dollar store organising tricks are just amazing. Let know what are your tips for organising your home.
do you know if the bins with the nail polish slide in and out like drawers?
Hey Christi, sorry for the late reply. No, they don’t slide in and out like drawers because they are small bins attached together. She used tape to help them stick at the bottom of the drawer to prevent them from sliding whenever she opens the draw. I hope that helped 🙂
I use crates zip tied together for my kids room and it works great. Also we have the same first name 😃Thought it interesting. I only knew of one other Falon before now.
lolol at first I was like wait is that spam messing with me ahaha nice to meet you Falon M. It’s great the crates zip works out for you.
what kind of bins are those in the frig holding the yogurt?
I know them as organizer inserts. You can get them at Deluxe Dollar Tree Store.
Are the organizer inserts the same size in the back as the fronts or are they taller in the backs? By taller in the backs, I mean like magazine holders where they gradually get taller. I hope my question makes sense. Also are the jars with the blue labels glass or plastic? Btw, that pantry area looks great.
They are taller. I have them in my office and use them to store sample packs for my direct sales biz.
Hi Tammy, Terri is indeed correct, thanks to her for replying to your question. Most of the blue labeled jars in the pantry are glass the, the round and square ones are glass while the bulk containers are plastic. All from the dollar store. Hope that helped.
Hi fellow organizers! Love the ideas, and I’ve done something similar with the small crates in my craft area, and in the bathroom cabinets. I just attached them the way it’s shown, and stacked them 3 high for the bathroom, and 5 high for the crafts. Fun, fun, Fun! 😊
