Luckily, there are tons of inexpensive storage solutions if you’re willing to get a little creative. If you head to your local Dollar Tree, you’ll find that the store offers several different types of glass and plastic containers, all of which cost just $1.25. Because the containers are essentially a blank canvas, you can easily transform them into storage bins that match your home’s aesthetic. For example, you can jazz them up with chalkboard labels (Amazon sells a pack of 96 containers for $11.99), paint the lids, or glue cute nubs on them. By customizing the containers, you can make them more functional for your space and use them anywhere in the house, from the pantry to the playroom. Before you grab the car keys and head to Dollar Tree to fill your cart with containers, take a look at these nine TikTok-inspired organization ideas.

With a few simple steps, you can transform Dollar Tree jars into the cutest countertop storage solution. You’ll need three Dollar Tree countertop cookie jars. If you have a suitable wooden base (such as a small tray), feel free to decorate it with contact paper or decoupage.

Be sure to use universal paint, such as Rust-Oleum All-Purpose Spray Paint ($6.48 at The Home Depot).

Small Dollar Tree jars may contain spices
Want to keep spices and seasonings on hand in bulk? Several jars with stainless steel lids from Dollar Tree could be ideal containers.
