Are you incredibly sick of those store bought silverware organizers sliding all over the place? I know I am! Ours was a few years old and the dividers kept breaking or allowing the silverware to slide under each slat and I was ready to head out to buy a new one. BUT I walked past my scrap wood pile and thought... why don’t I just make one?
I started by using some leftover plywood cut to the exact size of the drawer bottom. Then we grabbed some leftover 1x2’s and cut them to fit our drawer (your measurements will depend upon your drawer size). We planned out where to organize our silverware and how big we wanted each cubby. Next up, we used wood glue to secure each divider in place. Be sure to allow the item to fully cure for at least 24 hours before placing it back in the kitchen.
This job required a circular saw, wood glue, and some patience! I’m so excited to have a custom organizer for just the cost of scrap wood.
Yes! We considered that too but I have so many 1x2s in the scrap! Haha
That saves a good deal of space too I imagine. Good idea. Do you cap the edge?
I did not cap the edge- we actually built it in the drawer to maximize space.
