Diy Drawer Inside A Drawer

This diy custom kitchen drawer organizer was so easy to make and cost less than 10 for the entire project.

Diy drawer inside a drawer. If you are handy and willing to diy order one drawer the depth you want with a face then order extra shallower drawers with out face panels. Place the 1 6 drawer face on the work surface with the pocket holes facing down. This is the drawer box base. It s easy to shim behind a slide with layers of masking tape to make up for a too small drawer.

It s a lot harder to deal with a drawer that s too wide. Glue and nail a plywood base cut to size of the drawer box. The last step to complete the diy drawer box is to add the bottom. If your drawer is a hair too big or small these slides won t glide.

This step is very easy you just measure the drawer width and depth which should match your earlier measurements then cut a 1 4 plywood panel to size. Using a drill driver create two pilot holes. Make drawer boxes about 1 32 in. They drove me crazy when they were a jumbled mess.

I was constantly digging through junk and could never find what i was looking for in the tangle of whisks and tongs and spatulas. Put a bead of glue around the bottom edge of the drawer box don t need a ton just a small bead. Using a tape measure and a pencil make two marks 4 inches from the ends of the board and centered on its width. I am so thrilled with how much better my kitchen drawers look.

Use a corner assembly square for this or a corner clamp. They re fussy to install. Drill the drawer face holes. Attach the drawer slides to the drawer box and the cabinet frame.
