DIY Drawer Divider

Making your own drawer dividers doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Here's how I create perfect fit wood drawer organizers for about $5-$10 a drawer!

1. The Hardware

Aluminum C-Channel is available at all the hardware stores in different lengths. It's inexpensive, about 10 cents per inch - so per divider, you are looking at right at 50 cents in c-channel (I round up to 60 when counting screws). It's also easy to cut with a jigsaw and a metal blade, since aluminum is such a soft metal. I am using this 1/2" C-Channel.

Per divider, cut two pieces of C-Channel slightly less than the overall height of your drawer dividers, using a jigsaw with a metal blade. Make sure the C-Channel is well clamped and wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Then drill two holes in each cut piece with a multipurpose or metal drill bit. The holes should be just slightly smaller than your screw heads.

diy drawer divider attaching hardware

Attach the C-Channel pieces to the inside of your drawer using 1/2" wood screws (similar to ones you might use for attaching hinges on a cabinet). I used screws like these.

You'll need two per divider, on each side.

The Wood Dividers

For the dividers, I used (and recommend) 1/2" thick hobby boards. I choose a 2-1/2" width for this drawer, but you can use other widths. Just make sure you don't create a super tight cavity that is hard to reach into.

Simply measure in between your c-channel pieces, subtract a little to allow for the screws, and cut the wood piece to fit.

The wood piece will slide into the c-channels and stay secure.

You can also add dividers to dividers (as shown below) in the same method.

This gives you infinite possibilities to customize your drawers with dividers.

Mudroom Lockers - Customize-able Template from Shelf Help

Getting outside is very important to our family. Living in Alaska means we have alot of gear to deal with the elements, in addition to sporting equipment.

A couple of coat hooks just wasn't cutting it. We needed a serious mudroom solution to organize all of it. So we took one wall in our garage and did this!

Watch the build process in our video:

Open Bottom Mudroom Bench - Customizeable Sizes Template

If you have a spot to put a custom, built in mudroom bench, why not do it cabinetry style? So it's built-in, so its stuck to the wall; so there's no hard to reach spots to vacuum around, so its a permanent fixture in the house?

For about $130 in lumber we were able to build this almost 14 foot long mudroom bench in an afternoon!

Here's the video showing the steps:
