The measurements can easily be customized to fit any drawer’s dimensions.
Take Measurements
Choose a drawer and empty its contents.
Next, sort the items, grouping them by function or size to plan for your DIY drawer dividers.
Next,measure the insideof the drawer and the things you plan to store there.
This will help you determine the size of your DIY drawer dividers.
This project works well for a kitchen utensil drawer, bathroom vanity, dresser, or junk drawer.
Arrange the layout of your DIY drawer dividers based on the measurements of your drawer.
The exact design will depend on your drawer’s dimensions and the items you plan to store there.
We used three shorter pieces between two long cuts to form a ladder-like assembly.
Mark your desired measurements on the wood pieces with a pencil.
(We made marks every 2.5 inches for the compartment pieces.)
Repeat with the other pieces to form compartments.
Attach the other end piece to finish the divider.
Hold the pieces together using clamps, and let the glue dry overnight.
(you could also pin-nail the pieces together for a more secure hold if desired.)
Place the divider in the drawer and use the compartments toorganize your items.
