It’s noisy, frustrating, and takes forever to find what you need, especially when you’re just trying to grab your measuring cups to make dinner. If you’re tired of dealing with this mess every time you cook or bake, it’s time to find a smarter storage solution, like mounting your cups on the inside of a cabinet door. That way, they’re easy to spot and put away. This DIY project is super affordable and easy to make, even if you’re renting. All you need are a few basic tools and materials like a measuring tape, level, wood, saw, sandpaper, paint or stain, a drill, small screw-in hooks, and some removable wall strips. When choosing your paint or stain, get creative and make it match your kitchen’s style. You can also add cute labels to each measuring cup for a personalized touch.

Easy DIY Trick To Cut Clutter In Cabinets And Drawers
Creating a measuring cup organizer for the inside of a cabinet door
Before putting everything together, map out the layout of your organizer. Measure your cabinet door to figure out the max size, then experiment with different hook and cup arrangements until you find one you like. Cut the wood to size, sand it down, and apply your paint or stain. Let it dry, then seal it with polyurethane if needed.
Arrange your cups on the board and mark where the hooks will go. Use your tape measure and level to space them evenly, then drill pilot holes and screw in the hooks. Stencil on labels for each cup to keep everything organized. Finally, mount the whole thing to the cabinet door using the adhesive wall strips.
You don’t have to stick to a basic rectangular board – get creative with the shape, like an oval or flower, as long as it fits your door and holds all your cups. And don’t stop at just cups – you can also hang measuring spoons, add a conversion chart, or add some decorative touches.
