How to Make Cardboard Dividers

Measure the length of the diagonal across the inside of the drawer, along with the height of the drawer.

Cut two pieces of cardboard 1/4 inch lower than the height of the drawer and just shorter than the length of the diagonal, so that they can fit across the inside of the drawer from the top left to the bottom right corner, and top right to bottom left corner.

Place the two pieces of cardboard on the diagonals and mark where they intersect in the middle. Make a slit with your scissors that goes halfway up the height of the cardboard pieces.

Fit the two pieces of cardboard together by sliding the slits over each other. They should now form a large "X."

Place the "X" in the middle of the drawer. You now have a divider with four compartments.

Expand the organization capabilities of the dividers by taking your tape measure and marking halfway down one of the legs of the "X." Hold your tape measure parallel to the other leg of the "X," and measure the distance from wall to wall of the drawers to cut out another wall in the divider.

Cut out the cardboard 1/4 inch shorter than the length of the drawer wall and place it over the halfway point you measured to. Cut a slit halfway through both pieces of cardboard to fit them together like the previous "X."

Fit the cardboard pieces together by sliding their slits over each other, forming a large "X" divider with another divider bisecting one of the legs of the "X," making a six-compartment divider.

Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 to create more dividers as needed.
