DIY Drawer Dividers

This is the most simple way to organise the inside of a drawer. Hate how things always roll around by themselves? That's me, and this is how I solve it.



You will need:
Old boxes (think cereal, muesli bar, cake mix boxes)
Glue
Scissors
A patterned paper of your choice

Cut the box down to the right height. If you are storing things sideways than it can be shorter than if you want to store them upright.



Measure and cut a strip of coloured paper to fit insidethe box. It should go up an outside edge, down across the bottom and out again. You might be able to find some scrap paper to fit.
Glue this down.



Cut another piece of paper for the wide edge, and glue it from the outside, along all of the edges on the inside, and back out the other side. The box will have a double layer on the bottom but thats alright because it's the quickest way.
If you're like me and dont really care about the inside of the box, for the wide edge you can just stick two panels of paper on the outside. Or, if your really lazy just wrap up the outside and don't worry about the inside at all!





This is so quick, it literally just takes 5 minutes. And it's free! - If you have the paper and boxes. These nifty little things control where the contents of draw move and make things look prettier on the inside because of the paper! I will certainly be making more of these!
