Now back to our cardboard drawer divider: Here's a little DIY trick to tame the mess in your kids' drawers without taking up much of your time or money.

Supplies

YOU'LL NEED:

some sturdy cardboard (a box from the latest trip to the grocery store?)
measuring tape
scissors or cutting knife
(optional) some wrapping paper you really like and glue/double sided adhesive tape.

HOW-TO Diy Cardboard Dividers

1) First measure the interior of your drawer - height, width and depth.

2) Then cut two pieces of cardboard: one piece "height X depth", the other piece "height X width". So you've got two rectangles.

3) Then mark the middle of each piece and cut a line half way through.

4) Insert one piece onto another.

It's done!

Unless... you have some extra time left and want to make it prettier. Then before assembling the two pieces, cut the wrapping paper to the measures of each of them and wrap the cardboard using some glue or double-sided adhesive tape.

Now it's really done. 🙂
