Jen Watson (@organizedandsimplified4u) loves "transforming spaces and improving lives," according to her Instagram bio.

She shares helpful cleaning hacks as well as organizational tips.

The mom of five took viewers on a trip to her local Dollar Tree to pick up the items necessary to create a makeup storage item.

How to de-clutter if you have a beauty stash to last you a lifetimeHow to de-clutter if you have a beauty stash to last you a lifetime

She laid out the process step-by-step in an Instagram Reel which consisted of four metal napkin holders, a metal paper towel holder, nylon cable ties, and chopping mats.

"Definitely genius!!!" a viewer commented under the video.

The best part is that each individual item costs $1.25, so it costs less than $10 total.

The DIY makeup storage project is so easy to do with the right materials.

She first cut the circular chopping mats in half and hot-glued them to the bottom of each half-moon-shaped napkin holder.

Jen then zip-tied four napkin holders to the standing metal paper towel holder.

There were two at the top and two at the bottom to create the illusion of a level tier.

Lastly, she showed how heavy-duty it was and how much weight it could support by filling it up with tons of cosmetics from affordable brands like Elf and higher-end ones like Fenty.

The top layer held lip products, primer, and mascara, while the bottom level carried concealer, foundation, and other beauty buys that acted as a base layer.

It's a great addition to any home to maximize space.

Jen admitted in the video caption that the idea wasn't original and came from another Instagrammer Pamela Pedroza.

Viewers were huge fans of the tip and some couldn't wait to try it themselves.

"Omg. I'm going to Dollar Tree right now," a woman commented.

"Waaaitttt, I actually love this," another said.

"I could see me spray painting them in gold/ rose gold first...very nice," a viewer admitted.

"Ok, this is just f**king genius. Thank you for actually posting a USEFUL hack," a TikTok user wrote.
