This Lazy Susan Hack Instantly Transforms Kitchen Storage—Here’s How
If you’ve ever looked at a lazy Susan and thought, “this could do more than just spin condiments,” you’re absolutely right.
This quick DIY hack turns an ordinary (or even expensive) lazy Susan into a clever hanging storage spot for your kitchen essentials—no fancy tools, no complicated build. Just a few simple materials and a bit of creativity.
This post was transcribed by a member of the Hometalk editorial team from the original HometalkTV episode.
Tools and Materials:
- Lazy Susan (preferably sturdy or heavy-duty)
- Heavy-duty suction cup hooks (multiple)
- Command strips or high-strength adhesive tape
- Clean cloth (optional, for prepping surfaces)

1. Attach the First Suction Hook
Grab your lazy Susan and one of your heavy-duty suction hooks. Attach the first suction hook to the inside of the tray, following the directions on the package so it grips properly. Make sure it’s secure. You want it to hold weight later.
2. Add the Remaining Hooks
Now take your additional suction hooks and attach them inside the tray as well. Space them out so the tray has multiple strong hanging points. This is what turns it from a simple spinner into a functional storage piece.
3. Flip and Mount the Base
Flip the entire lazy Susan over so you’re looking at the bottom. Use Command strips or high-strength adhesive tape to mount it onto your chosen surface. Press firmly and give it time to set so it holds securely.
Final Thoughts
And you’re done!
You now have a mounted lazy Susan that can hang pot holders, kitchen towels, cooking utensils, or even measuring spoons—all in easy reach.

Did not understand this one at all. The pictures were terrible. Maybe repost with a clearer picture of finished product..

Total cost of this diy far exceeds the cost of professional hanging lazy Susan available on Amazon and has more hooks and structural strength.
