I’m a Dollar Tree super fan – my backyard broomstick DIY hack is super useful for summer
DRIPPING kids, puddles of water, and wet bathing suits on the floor do not make for one happy mother.

Having a pool in the backyard seems like a good idea until your kids start tracking most of the water inside.
So how do you stop piles of wet items from forming in the doorway?
Jay Munee says this DIY drying rack does the trick.
Jay posted a TikTok demonstrating how to make a drying rack out of a broomstick and a couple of hooks.

All items can be found at Dollar Tree and are only $1.25
The first thing you need is the pole from a broom.
Dollar Tree’s Long Handled Brooms work great, but you’ll need to remove the bottom if it isn’t already separated.
Next, you need two Essentials Black Over-The-Door Hooks and four zip ties.

Using the broomstick as the base, attach the hooks to both ends of the pole with the zip ties.
Jay places the rack over the side of her fence to hang her wet pool stuff.
If you have a fence or a wall around the perimeter of your backyard, you can hang the rack over the top.
“You can use this to hang up floaties or other pool stuff to dry for the next day or in your garage,” Jay explains.
You can also spray paint or decorate the rack any way you want to fit the aesthetic of your backyard.
For mothers that know what it’s like to have eager kids hop out of the pool and run straight into the house, this project was exactly what they needed.
“Omg thank you I definitely needed something for around the pool,” one mom commented.
