ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FUN AND FAST WAYS TO ADD SOME FARMHOUSE STYLE TO YOUR HOME? WHY NOT TRY AN EASY DIY DOLLAR STORE DECOR PROJECT AND MAKE YOUR OWN SIMPLE KITCHEN SINK STAND!
In our home, much like everyone’s, I’m sure, the kitchen is a battleground. And I don’t mean fighting over who gets to cook! Keeping our kitchen clean and organized can be a challenge, but finding simple ways to get organized can be a total game changer! I’ve come up with this easy DIY dollar store decor project for you. You can make a simple kitchen sink stand in an afternoon and tackle some of the clutter on your counters.
I think the hardest part to keep organized is the area around the kitchen sink. For me, I like to have my hand soap, scrubbers and brushes close at hand.

I tried a basket, but when my hands are wet, the water drips into the basket bottom and it just makes a mess! So I’ve come up with my own solution!
What You’ll Need
The fun part of this project is that you can get what you need from most dollar stores. And you can get really creative! I’ve included a few links for some products on Amazon, just in case you really don’t want to put on pants!
- Glass base – I’m using a square base that is approximately 8″ x 8″, but you can certainly use round or rectangular bases as well
- Printed surface – this can be paper, cloth or even a plastic tablecloth like the one that I found at a dollar store
- Mod Podge and brush
- Scissors or Rotary Cutter
- Ruler or straight edge for cutting
And that’s it! If your craft stash looks anything like mine, you might have all the supplies you need for this kitchen sink stand in your craft room already! If not, pop over to your favourite dollar store or onto Amazon and get what you need!
