Skill Level: Beginner
Tools Needed: No Tools Needed
Materials: Over the Door Hanging Shoe Organizer

If you have a pantry door inside your kitchen, hang a shoe organizer on the back of the door.  These organizers cost less than $10, and can hold up to 24 water bottles!  We love the option of storing lids with the water bottles.  

TIP: Buy a hanging organizer with big pockets at the bottom to hold lids, straws, and gallon jugs.

Skill Level: Beginner 
Tools Needed: Tape Measure, Saw
Materials: Plastic C Channel, Mounting Tape, 1/2" Thick Wood Pieces

If you have a large, roomy drawer, this is the best way to organize water bottles - it keeps the water bottles low and easy to access for kids, you can add in space for storing lids, and you can customize the divider placement to fit your water bottle heights.

TIP: Store the water bottles flat, instead of upright, so you can fit tall water bottles in a standard drawer.

But drawer dividers can be so expensive!  This tutorial shows you how to make your own damage free, custom sized drawer dividers on a budget.
