2 Tier Under Sink Organizer
Tools and materials:
- 2 Paper Towel Holders (metal)
- 2 Cooling Racks
- 2 Wood Cutting Boards
- 2 Baskets (small size)
- Zip Ties
- Hot Glue Gun (with glue sticks)
- Scissors
1. Attach cooling rack to paper towel holders
Position a cooling rack between two metal paper towel holders. Secure the cooling rack to the paper towel holders using zip ties. Tighten them to ensure the cooling rack stays firmly in place.
2. Glue the cutting boards
Apply glue to both paper towel holders and the bottom of the wood cutting boards. Adhere the cutting boards to the paper towel holders, one on each side.
3. Attach the cooling rack to the cutting boards
Add some glue to the top of the cutting boards. Place and secure the cooling rack on top of the cutting boards.
4. Add another layer of cutting boards
Apply glue to the top of the first layer of cutting boards. Stack and adhere another cutting board on top.
5. Add the final cooling rack
Add glue to the top of the second layer of cutting boards. Place the final cooling rack on top to complete the multi-layered structure.
6. Let the glue dry
Allow the glue to fully set before using the organizer. This ensures everything is securely in place.
7. Add the baskets
Place small baskets onto the cooling racks. These baskets can hold smaller items, like toiletries in the bathroom or kitchen essentials.
You now have a functional and stylish organizer that can be used in a variety of spaces. It’s perfect for storing bathroom essentials, kitchen tools, or even office supplies. The best part? This organizer is made from inexpensive Dollar Tree items!
Bonus Tip: You can even customize the look by painting the cutting boards or baskets to match your home decor!

By the time you buy all the things needed to make this, even if you buy it from Goodwill, you could have just ordered something more aesthetically pleasing for the same price.

Nice hack, do you have something in the back so the baskets don't fall out the back?
