Supplies List
To lower fees I utilized plywood. You could do this utensil drawer organizer project with 1×3 pine boards if you don’t have a desk noticed, but it will be more expensive.
For my initially try I utilized one/4″ plywood, but soon after a few times the plywood started to bend.
Certainly the dividers would nevertheless work, but I was not pleased with the finish final result. So I resolved to redo the dividers with one/2″ plywood. Balsa wooden or the thin “craft” boards they promote at the hardware retailer might work much better than the thinner plywood, but the enhanced price will be sizeable, and the thicker plywood has had no issues.
For this project you will want the adhering to elements and equipment:
Lumber
- 1 2′ x 4′ piece of one/2″ plywood
Applications
Arranging Custom Drawer Organizers
Be guaranteed to program before executing these utensil drawer organizers to be guaranteed they convert out just how you would like them.
Phase one: Measure your drawers.
Just take take note of both width and depth as perfectly as drawer peak.
Phase 2: Determine how you would like your drawer divided.
Our prompt layouts that we utilized are down below. Some recommendations for developing your own drawer dividers:
Use your utensils to make your mind up lengths and widths of sections so the dividers match your wants. As you can view in the online video, washi tape is a excellent way to visualize the room with the dividers.
Assume about force details:
- Do you want a total length or width part? Lower the dividers to the same length or width of your drawer so they match snugly. Then all you want is spacers to individual each part that set force on the finishes to maintain them up.
- Do you want to divide the room lengthwise and widthwise? To cut down the amount of personal spacers for the scaled-down sections I lower channels in the parts lower to the width of the drawer. Then for the much larger sections I utilized spacers at the finishes, and in the middle to break up the sections.
Suggested tiny utensil drawer structure:
Entrance dividers for knives, forks, spoons and so on. The other places I utilized for chopsticks, corn cob holders, and measuring spoons
Suggested large utensil drawer structure:
I wanted a much larger area for my apple slicer, the centre compartments are evenly divided, and the ultimate compartment was resolved soon after the other individuals had been in the drawer. I measured the remaining room so the compartments match snugly in the drawer.
Phase 3: Rip the plywood.
Using your desk noticed rip the 2’x4′ sheet of plywood into 3″ strips alongside the 2′ aspect. No desk noticed? You can have the lumber retailer lower the plywood into the 3” parts and then use a miter noticed for the other cuts.
Immediately after you rip the plywood into 3” parts bring them into your house to acclimate. This will cut down the amount of bowing and shrinking when you assemble the lower parts in your drawers.
Immediately after making your shorter cuts, sand the corners to cut down splinters. You can also spray with a couple of coats of polyurethane to make the parts washable.
Developing Tutorial for Smaller Utensil Divider
Phase one: Lower dividers.
Lower 3 @ 19″
Lower 5 @ 10″
Lower 3 @ 3 3/4″
Phase 2: Create channels for dividers to slide into.
Established depth of noticed blade to get rid of one/8″ of content. Regulate the fence to 2 3/4″ and operate both finishes of (2) 19″ parts via noticed. Then adjust the fence to 2 7/8″. Repeat operating both finishes of the same (2) 19″ parts. Go on to adjust noticed by one/8″ increments (the width of your noticed blade) right until channel actions one/2″ or 3 one/4″ from the outside the house.
Repeat this method for the upcoming pair of channels. Placing the fence initially at 6″ and changing by one/8″ increments right until you access the outside the house measurement of six one/2″
For the centre part established your fence at nine one/4″ and ending at nine 3/4″
Phase 3: Sand the edges to protect against splinters.
The smoother the surfaces are, the much better they will slide alongside one another and keep set.
Phase 4: Assemble the initially two sections.
Area just one of the channeled parts in opposition to the entrance of your drawer.
Area the (5) 10″ parts in the channels.
Place the next channeled piece in position, and adjust the 10″ dividers into each channel.
Phase 5: Area the upcoming 2 parts.
Using the (3) 3 3/4″ parts and the very last 19″ piece, position the 19″ piece and then the 3 3/4″ parts.
Phase six: Measure and lower the ultimate parts.
Measure the remaining room, and lower 3 parts at that measurement. My ultimate measurement was 4 7/8″
Phase 7: Place the a few remaining dividers.
These will be held in position by rigidity to preserve all the other dividers in position, but they are effortlessly adjustable (as you can see in the online video).
Phase eight: Refill the drawer with your utensils!
Below is the natural beauty of the parts staying removable. They are adjustable! To have the divider parts in the centre my chopsticks would not match. So I adjusted the centre parts to accommodate the length of the chopsticks.

Phase one: Lower dividers.
Lower 5 @ 19″
Lower 2 @ 6″
Lower eight @ 3 7/8″
Phase 2: In shape the parts alongside one another.
The force of the spacing parts is what holds this all alongside one another. So I lower the ultimate parts soon after every thing else is in the drawer. That way you get a nice tight match.
Area all the parts you have lower so far in the drawer.
Commencing with the two 6″ parts, then a 19″ divider, then two 3 7/8″ parts and a further 19″ divider.
Go on in the sample right until you have all the parts in position.
Then measure the remaining room. My ultimate measurement was 4 thirteen/16″
Phase 3: Lower the ultimate parts.
Lower the ultimate 2 parts to your measurement, and position in drawer. You want these parts to match cosy. If the parts don’t set force on the dividers, lower new parts a tiny for a longer period.
