Is your morning coffee routine at home starting to feel more cluttered than calming? Then this clever Dollar Tree DIY project might be just what you need to streamline your kitchen's coffee setup without spending a fortune on materials. In fact, using a few of Dollar Tree's Assorted Crafter's Square Wood Boxes along with some wooden dowels from the store, you can create a custom-tiered coffee organizer that looks surprisingly high-end while tripling your coffee station storage — and all for a final cost of around $10 or less. Plus, by blending function with style in this DIY, your coffee station will not only organize more of your essentials, but will also become a lively conversation starter that radiates personal flair.

The unassuming wood boxes from Dollar Tree at the center of this project — originally designed for crafting — are sturdy and stackable, making them perfect for holding mugs, K-Cups, flavored syrups, or whatever else tends to pile up around the coffee nook in your space. Since the design of this project is so easy to customize, it's a great opportunity to add your own personal touches — whether that's painting the finished piece to match your kitchen or adding stenciled labels for a polished finish. Much like this Dollar Tree DIY for chic hand towel storage that doesn't hog counter space, this cute coffee organizer proves that organizing doesn't have to come at the cost of your style or your budget.

Need a visual helper for creating this DIY project? "The DIY Mommy" Christina Dennis walks you through the process, showing how the simple materials from Dollar Tree can come together into something both practical and eye-catching. Start by grabbing four wooden dowels and the Dollar Tree boxes, along with some wood-safe glue like Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks. Arrange the boxes into a vertical tier — placing one box at the base, one in the middle, and one on the top — secured on either side with the dowels to create a balanced, ladder-style display. It's a setup that's as easy to build as it is to customize.

For a more cohesive coffee bar setup, consider pairing this DIY with coordinated containers or decorative accessories. In addition, you can pair this DIY with other kitchen countertop storage DIYs to save even more space. As seen in other similar budget-friendly home kitchen hacks — such as perfecting your coffee bar cabinet set up with more budget-friendly Dollar Tree items — small, stylistic details can go a long way toward making your space feel put-together. The result? A coffee nook that works harder and looks better, all thanks to a little Dollar Tree ingenuity.
