Utensil Drawer Organizer

I am really excited about this project. Anytime you can do something for free that excites me! If it excites you go over to the sidebar on this page and press that FOLLOW button! I love looking for new ideas to show you!

I have been collecting paint sticks from Home Depot and Lowes for awhile because in my crazy mind I figured I can make something with them...... and.... well..... they are free!

As I was putting the forks and spoons back in the drawer the light bulb went off in my head. I really hate the plastic organizer I have in the drawer separating all the utensils.

What if I use the paint sticks and make my own dividers?

I started out with these.....

I drew up a plan of how I wanted this to be laid out in the drawer and measured and marked each stick. With a handsaw I cut to size. I didn't want it to be permanently attached to the drawer so I can clean the bottom if it gets dirty. So I made it to come out. I cut the pieces and glued each one.

I lined the drawer with shelving paper. This is a clear non-stick roll of a rubber liner.

After measuring and cutting the liner to fit, I placed the paint stick form into the drawer. Now it looks custom and did I mention it was FREE!!!!

BEFORE......

AFTER........

I loved this project! I think I will do the rest of the drawers too! I even got more space out of it to store even more!!!  And I think I will continue saving the sticks! I have some more ides for them!
