Steps

Measure Drawer
Measure the interior dimensions of the drawer you wish to organize. Note the length, width, and height.
Gather Materials and Tools
Collect all necessary materials and tools. This includes sturdy cardboard boxes, a ruler or measuring tape, a pencil, a craft knife or box cutter, and hot glue or strong adhesive.
Cut Cardboard Strips
Using the measurements you took, cut the cardboard into strips that will fit snugly into the drawer. Cut both horizontal and vertical strips to create a grid pattern.
Mark and Cut Slots
Measure and mark points on each strip where they will intersect with each other. Cut small slots at these points, halfway through the width of the strips so they can interlock.
Assemble Dividers
Slot the strips together to form a grid. Adjust as necessary to ensure all pieces fit snugly. Apply hot glue or strong adhesive to secure the joints.
Install in Drawer
Place the assembled dividers into the drawer. Make any final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
