How to Make Homemade Drawer Liners

The insides of drawers that are past looking their best can be quickly revived with a fresh new drawer liner. If your furniture is solid wood and the insides of the drawers are a little rough, lining your drawers also helps to protect delicate linens or lingerie. Drawer liners are simple to make yourself; if you choose to use recycled materials, it costs nothing to change liners often and keep your drawers fresh.
