Get rid of kitchen clutter for good – 8 brilliant ideas using what you already have

5. Coffee creamer storage containers
So many small items come in plastic bags. Just one overzealous rip and your bag is not effective at containing the food anymore. Coffee creamer containers are perfect for organizing small foods, such as cereals for snacking, chocolate chips, and nuts. Frugelegance has other great ideas for these handy containers on her blog.

4. Create a pouring jar
Glass jars make excellent food storage solutions. Put in a Jar has a creative solution for storing dry goods in mason jars. You simply use the pour spout off a salt container to create an easy pour spout. It works great for sugar, herbs, drink mixes, and other dry items.

3. Creatively clean hands
Use those old glass soda bottles to create whimsical handsoap, dishsoap, and baking soda dispensers. The pour spouts and corks can be found online or at your local craft store. Although there is no tutorial, Bay Witch Musings offers many other ideas for repurposing glass soda bottles in your home.

2. Spin your condiments
Digging to the back of a fridge shelf is inconvenient and wastes time. If you have a lazy susan hanging around, this blog recommends place it in your refridgerator. Instead of digging through everything to reach the one item you need, simply give it a spin and get back to cooking.

1. Save can space
Soup organizers are expensive items, but you can create your own by covering a soda box with pretty paper. The box is already designed to dispense cans out the slot in the front. Bob Vila recommends enlarging the hole for easy access.
