Dont you hate it when you have to dig through your dresser drawers to find the items youre needing? Dresser drawers containing socks, scarves, underwear and similarly small items can get all disarranged in no time whatsoever. How many times have you reorganized those drawers only to find they need it again in a few weeks? Youll never have to worry about that again once you make a honeycomb drawer organizer. If youve got cardboard and tape youve got a drawer organizer that will serve you for years to come! How easy is it to cut a piece of cardboard, fold it and tape the ends together? You dont get much easier than that! Thats all you have to do to make the honeycomb organizer. You can use basically any type of cardboard but thick types are harder to fold. Thin cardboard - but not too thin, works best. Start by cutting a piece to about fifteen inches long and four inches wide.
Start at one short end of the cardboard and measure down two-and-a-half inches. Fold the cardboard and crease it well. Go down another two-and-a-half inches and fold again. Continue doing this until you have six sections on the cardboard. Align the two ends and tape them together. Make sure the tape is on the inside of the honeycomb shape. Now, one honeycomb section wont work to make an entire organizer. Make another and another of the honeycomb shapes and place then inside the dresser drawer to organize socks and more.
You can glue or tape the individual honeycomb sections together to make a huge honeycomb or you can just place the individual sections inside your dresser drawer. If you attach them its easy to take the whole thing in and out of the drawer all at once. But, if you set them in the drawer individually its easy to remove one thats a little worse for wear, later on down the road. These are decisions you can make according to whats right for you. If making all those folds in the cardboard is more work than you want to do, or youre working with thick cardboard and its hard to crease it well, you can simply make circles instead of the honeycomb shapes. Again, glue or tape them together or place the circles in drawers individually. There are even more changes you can make to design the organizer that best suits your needs and your tastes. For example, cover each cardboard piece with scrapbook paper or other decorative paper. You can even cover them with thin cloth. Cloth or paper make the organizer much more attractive. Glue the material to both sides of the cardboard or just to the outside. Use 20 oz soda bottles to make something similar but different. Begin cutting the top and bottom off of soda and water bottles you use and save them up to make an organizer. Use sandpaper to easily smooth the cut areas of the plastic. Attach many of the circles together or just start placing them, as you get them, inside the drawer. These, too, can be covered in fabric or cloth. Ball up socks, scarves, belts, undies, gloves, knit caps and other such items and place each one or each set in its own cubby hole of the honeycomb. Youll easily be able to see whats what and youll keep all your small stuff well organized. You can organize other things with the honeycombs, too. They dont strictly have to be used inside a dresser drawer. Glue or tape the sections or circles together and lay them on a table. These work well to organizer craft supplies, sewing notions and more. Its so cheap and easy to make the honeycomb organizers that youll never have to dig through your dresser drawers again. Instead, youll open the drawer to well-organized wearables which are all stored in attractive honeycomb compartments. Youll love the look and youll love being able to find what you need, when you need it!
