We all want a cute and organized home, but sometimes the idea of it can feel quite overwhelming. A lot of home goods are unfortunately expensive and it can be hard to get some good ideas. But did you ever think of hitting up the dollar store?

We know, the dollar store doesn’t sound very ideal, but there are actually so many great finds. It is an especially great option when you’re working with a budget, so check out some of the best things we found!

1. DIY Phone Case

Phone stands are not only a cute way to prop up your phone, but to decorate your cell and the rest of your home! Find directions on how to make this bad boy here.

2. Epic phone stand

If that last phone stand wasn’t your style, then this one might be very much in your league. Is this dinosaur tail not the most epic thing ever? Find out how to make it here.

3. DIY Cat Tent

Fun fact: you can buy a cheap t-shirt at the dollar store and turn it into a tent for your favorite little furry creature. Who knew? Details here!

4. Crafty pencil holder

Who needs a plain pencil holder when you can have a crafty pencil holder? Get one of these cups and you can actually knit a design on it. Find out exactly how to do that here.

5. Next level dipping bowl

Take your dipping bowl to the next level. Elevate it — literally. All you gotta do is buy a cheap plastic martini glass from the dollar store and place it in the center of your chip bowl.

6. Organize your toothbrushes

Are your toothbrushes a mess and in need of some organization? Look no further. Grab a few cheap cups from the dollar store and you’ve got a fun little solution. Especially great for kids!

7. Get creative with ice trays

Sure, you can use ice trays to make ice cubes… Or, you could flip them the other way, hang them on a wall, and put little items inside the spaces! It would be a hit with the kids.

8. Popsicle decoration

This is a great idea, especially for college students who are looking to freshen up their dorm rooms. Get creative and glue some popsicle sticks together to make a cute mini fence, and maybe even stick some fake succulents in there. Voila!

9. Multi-purpose palette

If you have children, a cupcake-decorating party is a great idea! Use a palette that would be normally used for paint, put the plain cupcake in the center and put all of the different decorations — candy, sprinkles, etc — in the circles around it. Very organized.

10. Giant scribble sheet

Do you have a messy child? No problem. Let them get their, uh, “creativity” out with one of these large (and cheap and reusable) scribble mats that you don’t care about.

11. S’mores Station

Want to make an epic s’mores station with no actual “station” part? Who needs it! With the help of some cake pans and candle holders, anything is possible.

12. Pretty Soap Dispensers

Jazz up your soap dispensers by sticking some fake flowers inside the bottle with the soap. It will totally brighten up your bathroom or kitchen.
