# Upcycled Utensil Holders This DIY Kitchen Utensil Holder Helps You Stay Organized By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-04-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-utensil-holder References: [liverandomlysimple](http://liverandomlysimple.com/upcycled-kitchen-towel-utensil-holder/) & [liverandomlysimple](http://liverandomlysimple.com/upcycled-kitchen-towel-utensil-holder/) This upcycled paper towel and kitchen utensil holder is a fantastic way for you to stay organized in the kitchen on your own terms, using easily available materials while saving some coin. The key to this project is having a simple flat-packed basket to revolve your creation around. Start by spray painting your basket and throwing a coat of briwax on it. Then wrap wire around the side a few sides to hold the contraption in place. You can then wrap the wire around the body of a rolling pin, with the pin being used as a paper towel holder. If you really like a crafty and rustic look, you can offset the kitchen utensil holder when you nail it to the wall so it isn't perfectly straight. This is a simple, barely time-consuming and economical way to create your very own kitchen utensil holder at home with minimal materials and expertise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Upcycling:** Opportunity for businesses to innovate by repurposing existing materials to create new and useful products. - **DIY:** Opportunity to cater to the growing demand for do-it-yourself projects and provide consumers with the tools and resources they need. - **Eco-friendly:** Potential for businesses to capitalize on the trend of sustainability by creating products that are environmentally friendly and reduce waste. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Innovation opportunities in creating upcycled and DIY home decor products that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity to develop eco-friendly and DIY kitchen utensil holders that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. - **Craft Supplies:** Potential for businesses to provide DIY enthusiasts with the necessary materials and tools for upcycling and creating their own utensil holders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Towel Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangled-joe.md) - [Sustainable Paper Towel Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-towel-holder-1.md) - [All-in-One Kitchen Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-cleaning.md) - [Recycled Dish Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-dish-towels.md) - [Flatpack Metal Utensil Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uphold-cutlery.md) - [Camper Kitchen Cabinet Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allpurpose-holder.md) - [Tech-Friendly Organization Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sousshelf.md) - [Eight-in-One Kitchen Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchyhub.md) - [Desktop Pen Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pareto-pot.md)
