D.I.Y Drawer Divider / Organiser

If you would like to know how to make these cute and simple drawer dividers then keep reading below ;-) 

You will need..

1. Cardboard box and cardboard pieces 

2. Measuring tape

3. Pencil

4. Paint & Paintbrush

5. Scissors

6. Superglue 

Step 1

Get a box that will fit into your drawer, or you can just make this as an organised box, maybe add a lid to it to really finish it off :-)

Step 2

Using the measuring tape, measure the width of the base of the box and make a note of it. 

Step 3

Also measure the length of the base and write down the measurement. 

Step 4

Finally, measure the depth of the box from the top to the bottom and again make a note of it.

Step 5

Take the individual piece of cardboard. This is going to be your dividers.

Step 6

Using the measurements you took of the box earlier, measure out a piece of cardboard that is the same width as your box and the same depth as your box.

Step 7 

Cut this measurement out of the cardboard. 

Step 8

Make sure the piece you cut fits perfectly into the box so that it is able to stand freely.

Step 9

Repeat the above steps for each individual divider that you want to be in the box. You can add the dividers any way you want!

This is the way I added each divider...

Even out any rough edges with your scissors so that each piece is smooth and fits into the box.

Step 10

Take each piece out of the box and paint them a colour of your choice! I chose white ;-)

Step 11

Once each piece is dry you can now reassemble your dividers in the box and when you are happy with the positioning of them you can glue them into place :-)

At this point I coloured the tops of each cardboard piece black with a marker so that the little holes in the cardboard were less noticeable :-)  

I also added some cardboard pieces to the sides of the box because it did not fit fully into my drawer :-) 

I did this by measuring from the box to the edge of the drawer and cut pieces of cardboard to fit. I then painted and glued them to the side of the box!
