Cheap Organizing Tips to Organize a Spice Drawer in a Small Kitchen
We have a corner drawer in our kitchen that is very close to our refrigerator. We would place the herbs and spices in the drawer facing out. But, when we would open the drawer by standing in front of it, we would hit the refrigerator. So, I to make it easier for us to see the items in the drawer. I reconfigured it. Follow along and see how easy this change was, and now we can see the items while we are cooking (the range is right next to the drawer).
Here's the empty drawer after I cleaned it and removed the existing herb organizer liners.
Here are the supplies I used.
I used “Spice Liner - Build a spice drawer” and cut them down to the size of the width of the drawer.
Using a tape measure and pen, measure the width of the drawer. This measurement will be the length of the Spice Liners. Mark the measurements with the pen and cut them with the scissors.
It cuts very easily with regular scissors.
If you have extra partial space, trim one down and add it to that space. See how I filled in my gap.
I cut the end off ¼ inch with the scissor.
Here's what it looks like when I placed the last cut liner into its place.
I put the spices in ABC order by spice name when possible. I labeled under each spice with the name of the spice or herb directly on the liner. By doing this, when someone removes or finishes the spice/herb, I will know exactly what was removed and I can, therefore, replace it later.
Here’s the finished drawer organizer. By placing them in this direction, we could add more spice and herb bottles than when we placed the spices facing the front of the drawer - Yay! We are so pleased with the way it came out.

I have never seen this neat product before. Thanks for your share.
I am wondering if it might also work for organizing cosmetics (make up tubes, small lotion bottles, etc.) in a vanity drawer.
