Turn A Few Dollar Tree Items Into A Functional Kitchen Storage Shelf


To complete this TikTok Dollar Tree hack by @hometalk, begin by purchasing a broom handle, some wire baskets, zip ties, and rope or twine. You’ll also need to secure your floating kitchen storage shelf to your wall, so you’ll need brackets (more on that to follow). You could even use yarn if you want to add some color. Begin by wrapping the rope or yarn around your broom handle. It may help to secure it in place as you work, using a bit of hot glue. Next, attach your baskets using zip ties, trimming the ends. 

Now comes the fun part — hanging your shelf and putting it to use. However, the way you secure it depends on a few things. If you’re looking for semi-permanent storage, you can use Command hooks to attach it to your wall. Amazon sells them for less than $8 each, so be sure to purchase two. Command hooks are also ideal for renters who can’t put holes in their walls. These hooks are specifically crafted for broom handles, so they expand to accommodate a variety of widths. Conversely, if you’re looking for a permanent storage solution, you can install brackets. Just be sure you choose the correct size. Since the Dollar Store broom handle is .8 inches wide, you would want to use 1-inch curtain rod brackets. You can buy them on Amazon for around $8 a set, and they come in a variety of colors to choose from.
