8. Fancy mirror from a $1 burner cover
A 10-inch metal burner cover, a mirror, and a few other materials are all you need to make this charming wall decoration, which will give any room some personality. If you love the look of a “captain mirror” in your bedroom or on your balcony, this hack is definitely a must. Even if it’s a DIY project, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on it.
The burner cover from the dollar store is going to cost you $1, and the ring hangers are around the same price, and you can find them in bulk (which means more than 10 in case you don’t figure out how to do it properly the first time).
9. Desk space-saver
In the past three years, working remotely has become a habit for most of us. And because of that, we wanted to create a separate space where we could work privately. But some people weren’t that lucky to have a big house, so they had to deal with what they had. Transforming one of your rooms or even your bedroom into a work space is not an easy job, but these dollar store office organizers are a fantastic dollar store hack that might help you clear the clutter and keep all your things in one place, hanging on the wall.
To organize essential paperwork out of the way but yet in plain sight, look for wire magazine or document holders at the dollar store and place them on the wall. To guarantee that papers and documents are stored in the appropriate location, label each one.

… okay, so I found it but you could have given me a clue where to look for it like maybe ……………………………… >>>> Start here >>>. Or perhaps … “your 10 Dollar Tree hacks are listed from 1 – 10 below and number 6 is in red. Here ya go: (Hack # 1), (Hack # 2 ) … etc but those are just an idea. After reading over these hacks that I had to have, this is my review. These are kinda cute and maybe a bit helpful under certain circumstances but there were 2 that had me scratching my head. There was one where you suggested using storage baskets in the freezer and it left me curious to know just how big is your freezer? I am lucky to find room for my ice cream so I have no idea where I’d put extra baskets. You must have a walk in set up? The second thing that had me confused what trying to imagine what a “burner cover” was and how this item could become a stylish mirror in my home. Thanks.
I bought a burner cover for my glass top stove, but you could easily make one. It’s a padded piece of material that you can roll up when you cook.
I have a built-in microwave above my stove. I was terrified that I would drop a hot bowl from Mikey and shatter my stove top. Now I have peace of mind and no longer use my Microwave as a bread box.
Your right on Kenneth! It would be helpful to show examples for all!
I have an upright freezer and I put the baskets/plastic boxes, that I get from the dollar store in my freezer and label them according to type so I know where the fruit or vegetables are etc. it works great.
Where did you find them?
The plastic bins for the freezer are meant for a full size freezer, not a refridgearator with a freezer. I’ve been using the for 30 years to seperate my different meats, beef, pork, chicken, seafood. It really does help. You can buy burner covers at aly walmart, dollar store, etc. They are round or square and meant to go over your stove burners so it looks nice. All the ads and lack of pictures hurt trying to follow this.
I’ve read other articles like this before that give you some cute and/or useful ideas from dollar store items but this is not one of them. The trash can nightstand stands out to me, “turn it upside down” and hurrah, you have a nightstand that will hold what, one book or a box of tissues. I think most people want something a little bigger than that to use as a nightstand.
