"Wicker items are a great solution - they have that natural, slightly old-fashioned charm that makes the kitchen feel like a warm, welcoming space. But if you're looking for tiered wicker storage online, you better be ready to shell out around $100 for a new handmade one or over $700 for a vintage one. If that's not in your budget, it's time to hit the thrift store to get yourself two wicker baskets (one big and one small), one thicker candlestick holder,"
"First, you'll want to remove the handles with sharp scissors for thinner baskets or a box cutter for thicker ones. Usually, the handles are woven right into the body, so find those connecting strands, cut them, and pull out the handle. Next, you'll glue the candle holder onto the baskets. Cover the bottom of the holder with hot glue and place it in the middle of the bigger basket."
"This tiered storage can be used as a clever hack to create more kitchen countertop space, but what you store in the baskets is totally up to you. They'd be great as traditional fruit baskets, of course, though they could also hold the veggies that you're frequently cooking with, such as onions, garlic, or potatoes. Perhaps it could become a spice rack or a convenient place to store napkins."
Countertops require storage that is functional and attractive because items are constantly on display. Wicker offers a natural, slightly old-fashioned charm that warms kitchen spaces. New tiered wicker organizers cost roughly $100 handmade or over $700 vintage, making thrifted materials economical. Use two wicker baskets (one large, one small), a thicker candlestick holder, and hot glue to assemble. Remove woven handles with scissors or a box cutter, glue the holder into the larger basket, then glue the smaller basket atop the stick. The resulting tiered piece serves as fruit storage, a vegetable or spice organizer, napkin holder, or coffee-pod and essentials station.
