Kitchens can be expensive to set up, but there are creative DIY solutions out there that can help you save money while still looking high-end. YouTuber Christina Dennis shared a Dollar Tree Storage Essentials Kitchen Turntable hack on her channel Cozy DIY Home. By using a clear acrylic Lazy Susan from Dollar Tree and topping it with a stained wood circle made from a Crafter’s Square Plywood Sign, Dennis created a stylish and affordable storage solution for the kitchen.
This rotating countertop addition is perfect for keeping seasonings, olive oil, and other food prep essentials organized. To recreate Dennis’s design, you will need a walnut wood stain, a brush or rag, heavy-duty glue, and sandpaper. By following her instructions and using the right materials, you can create a functional and attractive lazy susan for your kitchen.
Level up your lazy susan
To upgrade your lazy Susan, start by removing the cord from the wooden sign, staining the wood, and filling any holes on the edge. You can use a homemade wood filler to fill the holes before staining the piece. If you prefer, you can also use a pre-stained wooden tray with a raised edge for a more polished look. After preparing the wooden disk or tray, attach it to the turntable using glue, let it dry, and then enjoy your upgraded lazy Susan.
