This has got to be one of cleverest, most useful DIY projects we’ve seen to date! A fab example of a project done on a budget, using clever Kmart hacks to get your life super organised!

Under sink storage
Is under your sink a total disaster? No judgement here! We’ve been there! Check out how Gina organised her space with some simple solutions and a few handy products from Kmart.

Anyone who collects earrings would know how much of a struggle it is to keep them organised. Paige has found the solution though — mounting a Kmart tray vertically to the inside of her wardrobe!
Caddy hack
There’s more than meets the eye with this clever Kmart hack that Alanna made. She says it was an easy weekend job that required no power tools as she used the existing screws and holes.
“I wanted the caddy the same height as the bath so moved the tiers up and cut the legs to height. Then used the original top tier as a lid and now have somewhere to store my lady things,” she explains.
Jewellery tree becomes crystal jewellery dish

Hanging planters as wall pockets

Bamboo drawer as floating shelf
Whether you’ve got a young child who loves reaching for cords or simply want a discreet way to display smaller electronics, such as your home phone, Megan has found the solution! She turned a bamboo drawer upside down and mounted it to the wall to create a wall shelf with an underside that is large enough to keep cables out of sight.
Water bottle storage
Look… this one isn’t revolutionary, but it is handy so we thought we’d still include it in our clever Kmart hacks. These stackable wine bottle holders are a great solution for storing water bottles. They work great in the pantry or, as Style Curator writer Dan has done, put them in your fridge to have plenty of cold water on hand.
Create your own removable storage shelves
If you have high shelves in your home, it can be tricky to fully utilise the space, especially if you’re renting and can’t make any permanent changes. Another clever Kmart hacker came up with this handy solution. Simply secure two Kmart mesh shelves together with cable ties, trim and that’s it!
Shower caddy becomes hair accessories storage
Kids have a lot of stuff. Like… a lot of stuff! And one thing that can be tricky to store, is kid’s hair accessories. Headbands, hairbrushes, bows, clips, hair ties… how do you keep it neat and tidy?
