DIY Drawer Organizers From Recycled Boxes Tutorial
Let’s say you have a drawer you need to organize. You could buy fancy drawer organizers, or you could make them yourself. We show you how to make simple DIY drawer organizers from recycled boxes right here.
Equipment
- Hot glue gun
- Pencil or sharpie
- Ruler
- Scissors or knife.
Ingredients
- Different cardboard boxes
- Contact paper
- Felt
Instructions
STEP 1: MEASURING AND CUTTING
- The first thing I did was cut all the boxes to the same height.
- Once I had my desired location for each of the boxes, I used the drawer as a guide to mark the height around each edge of each box then started cutting them.
STEP 2: WRAPPING AND DECORATING
- Once I had them all cut, I wrapped every box inside and outside with two different contact papers.
- Use your favorite patterns and mix and match.
- Then I cut some felt to put in the bottom of the boxes. I glued the felt with hot glue.
- The upcycled boxed drawer organizers are ready.
STEP 3: ORGANIZING THE DRAWER
- Then what I had to do is just make them fit into the drawer it’s fun because you can play around with the drawer organizers like a puzzle =D.
- Once I was happy with the placement, I purged, put things back where they belonged and the rest of the items found themselves in their new upcycled box drawer organizers.
- There you go! Easy peasy!
Notes
You can use different types of materials to cover the boxes instead of contact paper. You can use scrapbook paper and mod podge (paper mache), fabric, or newspaper with also mod podge.
