Do-It-Yourself Kitchen Tray Dividers

Kitchens are one place where the mess of small items can quickly become overwhelming. Knives, forks, spoons and cooking utensils are just the start, and a kitchen tray divider keeps things organized. Make your own kitchen organizer from a sturdy plastic drawer liner and a length of board. This cheap and simple project requires only a basic amount of woodworking knowledge.

Instructions

- 1
  Place a thick plastic drawer liner in your drawer to ensure that it will fit snugly. If it is too large, you may need to trim it with a utility knife.
- 2
  Remove the drawer liner from the drawer.
- 3
  Plan out where you want your divisions to be, and mark them on the plastic drawer liner with a pencil. One easy way to divide a drawer is to make four divisions using three long dividers running vertically in the drawer.
- 4
  Use a saw to cut lengths of 1/2-by-2-inch wood board equal to the length of the dividers you designed.
- 5
  Apply a line of super glue to the long, narrow edge of the wooden dividers, and press them to the plastic drawer liners along the pencil lines you drew.
- 6
  Allow the super glue to dry. After the glue is dry, the divider is ready to be placed in the drawer.
