The Cutest Mini Totes from Lowe's Have Us Organizing Everything in Our Home
If you're anything like us, you can't resist anything mini—especially when it's cute and practical! We recently discovered the Project Source Teeny Commander X-Small Mini Totes at Lowe's, and they've quickly become one of our favorite organization finds. At less than $2 each, they're an affordable way to clear clutter throughout your home.
We actually stumbled upon these adorable mini totes after using the Lowe's Mini Buckets to create DIY planters and more. Be sure to check out our article How to Turn Lowe's $2 Mini Buckets into Planters, Gifts and More article for even more creative ideas!

We love our tiny totes and mini buckets
These little storage containers may be tiny, but they're incredibly useful. Measuring just 3.31" x 4.81" x 2.44", they're the perfect size for organizing all those small items that seem to end up everywhere.
One of our favorite uses is storing loose hooks, screws, nails, wall anchors, picture hangers, and other hardware. They work especially well when the original cardboard boxes don't stack neatly or start falling apart.
How to Organize Hardware, Craft Supplies, and Junk Drawers with Lowe's Mini Totes
The totes feature:
Clear bases so you can easily see what's inside.
Secure locking lids to keep everything contained.
Stackable design for maximizing storage space.
Compact size that's perfect for drawers, shelves, toolboxes, and craft rooms.
My husband loves the mini totes!
My husband especially loves that these mini totes match his larger Lowe's Project Source storage totes making his tool area look much more organized. He organized our garage area with a bunch of them.

Great Ways to Use Lowe's Mini Totes
These tiny containers are surprisingly versatile! Here are a few ways we're using them:
Organizing hooks, screws, and hardware
Cleaning out cluttered junk drawers
Storing craft supplies like beads, buttons, and vinyl scraps
Organizing office supplies such as paper clips, binder clips, and push pins
Keeping batteries separated by size
Sorting LEGO® sets or pieces or small toys
Holding sewing notions and embroidery supplies
Organizing fishing tackle
Storing jewelry-making supplies
Keeping game pieces together
If you have lots of little items scattered around your house, these mini totes make it easy to keep everything in one place.
Our Favorite Lowe's Organization Finds Include This Pink Kobalt Adjustable Rolling Desk
Don't Forget the Lowe's Mini Buckets + Rolling Desk
Another favorite organization solution is the Lowe's Mini Buckets with Sealing Lids. They're perfect for storing loose hardware, craft supplies, pet treats (the buckets are food safe), garden seeds, and countless other small household items. They're also a fun complement to the mini totes if you love organizing every nook and cranny like we do.
I also LOVE the Kobalt 42-in H Rolling Pink Wood Adjustable Height Portable Work Bench and all the colors it comes in (especially pink!). It may be my future work desk! It has an adjustable height function, making it a great standing desk too. They also have matching tool boxes and more in many fun colors.
