Thanks for watching today's video!!! Let me know how YOU customize your drawer storage in the comments below.
Thank you for sharing this Video with us. I'm definitely going to try this. It is a great idea!! I'm not a make up guru either. lol! You had me laughing. I would say the same thing about the price of the make up. lol! You don't need to apologize for the air planes. We are paying attention to you and not them. ♥️ I hope I can do as good a job as you with the dividers. Thank you Again!!♥️
Thx ms. Norrine. I will definitely try to remember this when i get the energy to tackle those drawers. I love those drawer containers but hate the clutter they create. Some are so deep that i wish i could add a shelf in them lol.
In the video you had written that you had glued it to be more secure. Did you glue it at the bottom to the drawer? Thank you!!♥️
I did end up gluing to the drawer. My skinny eyeliner kept sneaking under the foam core. LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer lol!! O.k. Thank you!! I will keep that in mind, as I do it. Thank you for writing back and for the good idea.♥️♥️
Many 🙏🙏🙏 for demoing such an easy fix to messy drawers. Love your use of overhead camera too. Your presentations are the best I’ve seen for clarity in directions. You certainly know what you’re talking about cause you’ve done it and your voice is so clear and info precise. Obviously appreciate your sharing. ❣️🥰
Thank you for the kind words♡♡♡
I LOVE this - I’ve always been a bit frustrated because organization trays never quite work as well as I want them too 🤔 this is perfect- thank you
I love foam-core. I've used it to line metal mesh shelving. I used it to wrap small yardage of fabric into uniform shapes to store on a shelf. So useful!!
Brilliant! I am going to use this not just in my craft/sewing/studio room, I'm going to use it in my kitchen, my bathroom and anywhere else that gets sloppy!!!!! But I'm starting with the first room, it is the one that is in the direst shape. Thank you!!
Yay! Let me know how it goes!
OMG - I love all of your suggestions and ideas - You're amazing👏👏👏👏
Great idea, you don't need to worry about make up you are beautiful as is 😊
Thank you!!!! xoxox
Thank you for sharing this simple but very effective idea, I love that it’s so adaptable and changeable. I also wanted to say how much I appreciate these videos, your open honest and transparent approach to your business and videos makes me, and others in your audience, feel comfortable and more open to trying some of these ideas. You make it all seem attainable and that is a gift in and of itself.
Btw, you always look terrific and it’s not easy to look good for the camera, so whatever it is you are doing for your make up routine is working. Remember, make up should only enhance what is already naturally there - and you are doing exactly that, so you have no need to worry at all. Thank you again and keep teaching - you are needed.
What a wonderful comment to wake up to!!! Thank you so much for your kind words.
I have used cardbI really appreciate your videos. I always learn. and more importantly, You don't fareak me out or scare me off, or guilt me because I am so very messy. You are helping me. Granted, I am only makeing small steps each week. But it is in the organized direction.
Even with small steps you can reach your own milestones 🏆
Every step is progress! Celebrate each and every one! xoxox
I used to "poo-poo" these foam core dividers...but after spending waayyy
TOO MUCH time trying to organize a drawer in the wee hours of the morning....I decided...
GREAT IDEA, THERE!😀
OH...YES INDEED..EASY TO GRAB!..THIS IS
A MUST!!...FINALLY...FINALLY
figured out WHERE to put my Cuttlebug so that it IS "EASY TO GRAB!😀"
I ALSO
REALIZED...I had stuff in a drawer...most of it...expired..outdated...you get the picture...WHEN, I let go...the space appeared for one of the tools I use the most in my crafting.
Appreciate your videos..they are as helpful as they are inspiring!
👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍
YAY!!!! This comment makes me so happy!!!!!! It's so exciting to have easy access to your items! I am so excited for you! Thanks for giving the foam core a chance. 💛🌻🌞
So clever and economical! I had given up on drawer inserts because they were too expensive and never were the right size. I am definitely going to try this! Thank you ❤️💕
Good idea
Customised divider.. Simple too..
This is brilliant! Some years ago, when my brother got married & moved out of our house, my mom & I turned his room into a craft/sewing room. I built a desk to put the sewing machine & serger on, as well as have drawer storage for sewing patterns & various notions, tools, etc. I came across a divider solution somewhere (maybe an organizational solutions bookazine?) that I used to divide the pattern drawers so I could have 2 rows of patterns in each drawer. Basically, I cut a piece of plywood to size for each divider (I'd put in 2 drawers). I got some foam weather stripping insulation at the home improvement store, adhered 2 strips to each end of the inside of the drawer, & wedged the plywood divider so the ends were held in place by the weather stripping. Works like a charm, & I didn't have to try to figure out another way to attach the plywood dividers inside the drawers. The insulation material is about 1/2" wide by maybe 1/4" or 3/8" thick and packaged as a roll. It's really supposed to be for around the inside of a door frame to "fill in" any gaps between the door & frame. But it works great for supporting drawer dividers as well, if you don't need a grid system like you made. I have a drawer unit now that I need full-length dividers (front to back) for, so I think I'll do the same thing for those, but use foamcore instead. Much less hassle, I would think--as long as the foamcore holds up, of course! Thank you for this awesome tip! Hope you have a wonderful day! :)
Great solution you came up with! No need to make things difficult. Glad you and your Mom have a space you can enjoy together. 💙
Luv your content and your delivery. Were you a teacher, counselor? You have a calming effect. Rock on!
Neither... just been through a few things in life that have given me a broader perspective. :) Thanks for being here!
I’m binging your videos right now. I’ve subscribed about a week ago, I believe.
I made drawer dividers with the foam boards back in April/May. I live in a rental so I placed drawer liner on the bottoms of my drawers and lined the perimeter of the drawer with foam board too. I didn’t cut mine like yours though. Too impatient and I’m just not crafty like that.
I measured and cut the foam pieces pretty much on my kitchen counter. I quickly covered the foam with contact paper just to kinda/sorta pretty it up with some color and hot glued the pieces together. The liner on the bottom of the drawer and the perimeter foam prevented any glue getting on the drawers for when I move.
Welcome, Angel! And I love that you made the drawer dividers! I am still really happy with mine. No issues at all - how are yours holding up?
So happy to see you back! You were missed!
Thank you ❤️
This gives me inspiration! I have tried ready made dividers, but all it did was frustrate me more! You have presented the perfect solutions. Some of the viewers comments have helped as well. So glad I found you! Blessings!
Don't worry about the airplanes. They aren't as loud to us as they are to you. I really like these storage ideas.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! How simple and not expensive! Keep up the good work!👍🏻❤️👏🏻🎉
I'm glad to see you are making videos again, hope you are feeling better and that life is more relaxing!
Great tip! I’m organizing my beading stash and I have large buckets that used to house library books when I was teaching. Now, I’m using cardboard covered in pretty paper to divide them into sections so I can have multiple sizes in one large box! 💜
This is exactly what I have been thinking about to organize my drawers. Something simple, inexpensive and super practical. Love it!
Great 👍😊👍 adding another foam board to my list !!! TFS. Hugs 🤗 and blessings 🙏.
Maddy NY 😎
Great ideas! I might go a step farther and make a tray bottom from foam core & attach the dividers to that, especially if some dividers are different heights.
I already told you about my efficiency apartment. I had already bought two of those sterlite underbed boxes and was going to buy more. Not Now. I did double stack my bed lifters so if needed, I Could have 16 of those under my double bed. I may need a case of foam core. I'm not going to just start building them but plan what goes in them first. Thanks So Much for your inspiration.
If you have small living space ideas, bring 'em on
I have several drawers I need to do. Why I have never thought of this “I don’t know”. Great video. Thanks
Love your ideas! You always have a place for everything. Love, Love, Love it! As always, thanks for sharing!! ❤️
You are so welcome!
You are adorable and i love your narrative, so natural 💕
Thank you so much!!
Thanks Norrine. I think I will be giving this a go. 😊
Please do! All the dividers I've made are STILL holding up perfectly! Such an inexpensive way to get custom organizers :)
I'm going to attempt to make these dividers for my kitchen cooking utensils and in my daughter's dresser drawers. Thank you so much. It looks so simple.
Thank you! Cant wait to do this for my nursery dresser! Thanks!
You are so welcome!
So helpful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I often have success using bins of different sizes, but things that are weird shapes and sizes (I can totally see for craft stuff and Christmas decorations), this is such a great idea! And even the very basic squares drawer dividers are ridiculous prices! And customizing to acrylic fit what you need is so much better.
Wow. I love this idea. I will definitely use this for my "junk" drawer.
Your doing a beautiful job, and your also having fun with your craft I enjoy watching you keep doing what your doing it's great. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Great tips for using foam core...love your videos and your tips! Thank you!!
Have you thought about switching your screens? Maybe make the project the bigger pic and you the smaller? It would help to see what you are doing better,
Great suggestion! It was my first "2 camera" shot. I'll definitely do that next time. 😘
I love the sound of planes and trains! I live in the flight line of our airport. 😊 I like your drawer dividers! I'm planning to do that soon for my craft drawers. Thank you! I also bought corregated plastic sheets to make "shelves" in my 2 coolers. I make organic products and take them in coolers to the farmers market. But I've had issues with them not sitting level. So I'm making my own dividers. 🙃 Thank you! ❤️
Such a great idea and he video was great, I didn't even hear any noises! Love your work, thanks for sharing with us 😀
Great idea. I’m definitely doing this for multiple drawers. My catch all drawer pencils, scotch tape etc. will be first. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for a better expression than using the 'j word'
I just found your channel and I am binging your videos!
You have such a lovely disposition, and I love your ideas!!!
Wishing you nothing but the best, Miss Norrine 💜
This is wonderful! I am about to organize my makeup/hair things by cutting up cracker boxes & poptart boxes to start out. If I like the arrangement I might switch to foam core, or just line the cardboard. Great tips!
I will definitely be trying this method!! I have so many crafting supplies and they need organizing.
Great way to organize "on the cheap," while also feeling like your doing a craft. You have wonderful ideas and I've really been enjoying your videos. (:
Thanks, Colette!
I agree. Very practical and economical ideas!
Video content was perfect for me. Info was just what I was looking for!
I'm so glad!!! :)
I have a room in my attic for my computer and paper crafts. I have to work with slanted ceiling walls.
I hope I can use some shorter bookcases. Thank you for this great tutorial. Love Love ❤️
This is another one of your super-useful videos! Thanks so much!!
I hear you. I buy good markup but don't use alot and don't have alot of extras. Your beautiful without a mask 😉
😘 Thanks, Marie!
Hi there🙋 So glad to see your video this morning🌷🌷 . I purchased a piece of this foam core a couple of weeks ago for the purpose of creating dividers for my kitchen drawers. I have so many different gadgets and types of utensils and I'd love to corral them to keep things much more tidy. I will be covering mine with contact paper so as to keep them wiped clean. I may also put some dividers in my sock drawer and also in my craft room:) Love your videos! Have a wonderful day!!!
Please share your finished project!!!
Love this project! Yes I have a bunch dividers that I am not liking! Funny I am just now reorganizing my craft drawers. I have the foam & I have the glue! Yup tomorrow! Charge......thanks for sharing! You are adorable. Don’t need makeup sweetie!
You are too sweet! Let me know how your drawers go!!! If you send me a pic, I will share on a future video!
So cool. Love foam core
I look forward to doing this. I tried to buy gift boxes and use those as dividers in my five drawer cabinet, but that's not working out well.
To be honest, it sounds like fun to lay everything out, separate into groups, and cut the foam into the perfect sizes. :).
It is SO satisfying! :)
This is FANtastic....TFS!!!
Just discovered your channel and I'm feeling inspired. My kitchen utensil/gadget drawer is in desperate need of a custom organizer.
You can do it!
Thank you for this video. It helped me soooo much.
So glad! Thanks for being here!
Great ideas! I am using a couple of plastic cutlery trays in my drawers. Only cost a £1 each from Pound stretcher, here in the UK. Been great for my erasers, pens and pencils. Thank you for sharing.
Regards,
Ann.
Such a great solution! Thanks so much for tutorial 😀 Nicely done!
Wow...great video. You made it look so simple.
I promise it is as easy as it looks!! 😉
This is a great idea! And you are beautiful and adorable just as you are. Love you!
The cutting hint to fold foam ore away from the cut is genius.
I made drawer dividers to store my washi tapes using toilet paper rolls cut in half lengthwise. Then I used washi tape to adhere several to the bottom of the drawer. I adhered them at a slight angle to store different graduated sizes of tapes.
What a GREAT storage idea!!!!!! I'd love to share this with viewers!!! Can you send me some pictures?? CallClutterFairy@gmail.com
Good idea using the foam core. It is cleaner looking than cardboard and you don’t have to decorate if you don’t want to. I am currently organizing my underwater and sock drawers.
Another great idea that I will put to use. Thank you! Dollar Tree, here I come! I know they sell it at AC Moore, but I'll try Dollar Tree first. Got my art room all organized, thanks to your earlier video this week, now for some of my drawers.
Thank you so much for this video. I have already compiled several places I can use this idea: the bathroom vanity drawers, my craft area, kitchen, laundry area and my desk/office area. This is a game changer. I just found your channel today and I have watched many of your videos and have subscribed. Looking forward to getting notifications.
Wonderful! So glad I could help! :)
I love this! I would never have thought of something like this. As usual you are a genius! Thank you! xx
Wow!!! I need that printed for my kids to see! LOL
Lol-I can relate to that!
At the 8:51 mark, I thought I had a hair on the upper left side of my screen. I tried to wipe it off, but it didn't move. Uhoh, Is my screen CRACKED?????!!! Took me a few secs to realize it was a cord lying on your craft table!!!! Lol so funny
Oh no!!! LOL Sorry about that! 😆 I've stopped shows before - TERRIFIED - that I had a bug on my tv!!! It was in the show.... whew!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer hysterical!
I have an old rectangular, sectional sandwich box that lost its lid. Instead of throwing it away I recycled it by inserting in my bathroom drawer to hold my makeup. I have even less than you do and it shares a drawer with my hairbrush and comb. So the container keeps my makeup organized and prevents it from rolling around in the drawer and there is room next to it for my brush and comb.
Thank you... that is a great idea. I will give it a try soon.
LOL, the airplanes reminded me of our trip to my son's graduation from Marine boot camp. They called it the 30 second stall in a conversation because you could not hear anything no matter how close you were to the person.
This is such an awesome idea. I have been looking for something to organize the drawers and this is exactly it. Thank you so much for sharing
Please share if you make them! Would love to see what you do!!
I’m so excited about this video. I’m going to try it . Thank you
Please share when you are done! Would love to see them!!
Awesome idea! I am in the process of organizing my sewing and craft rooms and this will be perfect and save money. We moved and no longer have a basement so I can get rid of duplicates. Before I had things in both the upstairs and downstairs. By the way you look great with no make-up!
Love your video's.
Just discovered your channel looking for organization with foam core board. I just subscribed. Thanks for the great ideas
I’ve been making organizer boxes out of cardboard boxes...but since cardboard isn’t very attractive, I do cover mine with fabric, contact paper or whatever. I am going to use some foam core to make dividers like you have here, as soon as I can find time!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Please share when you are done! Would love to see them!!
I love this idea, I want to organize my sock draw and everything I've seen so far was too deep, so this works for me, thank you
Send me a picture if you do!!!!
Once I see rulers and exacto knives I get nervous 😵💫 LOL but I will watch this a couple of times and try it because I need help with my makeup and other drawer spaces!
You can do it! If you can get one of the Fiskars finger blades... it's safer to use - and just go slow. Better to run the blade across the foam core a few times, then press and get hurt.
Very cool
I love your videos
I have used the boxes from the post office. The foam board would be much more sturdy! I never really thought of using it!
Love all your videos! Great ideas and easy/simple enough for someone like me to do! Thank you for sharing your great ideas to make life/crafting easier!
You are so welcome!
TFS WOW great solution
Love this! Going to do this ASAP!!
Share when you are done! Would love to see what you do!!
I also don't wear makeup at all. Never have, other than powder when I was in high school because my skin was just sooooo oily. I just think makeup is more trouble (and expense) than it's worth. I think you look great as is! :)
What a great video. I realize this is a couple years old, but I hope you will have time to read it. Also, if I was as pretty as you without makeup, then I wouldn’t wear it either. I love the boxes and book holders, especially the color. Your craft room is very pretty and from what I can see you are definitely organized. Just one little tip regarding the square (the L shaped item she used it to measure and get her lines straight. For those who may not know what I’m talking about). If you don’t have one or need a smaller size, you can get them at the $ store. I guess it’s the $1.25 store now. I also appreciate the little close up video you had at the top left side for viewing things that may have been out of the cameras view or to see what your doing just a bit better. Thank you for sharing your talent with everyone. 😬
This is a great idea thank you
I'm really liking your videos and will be using some ideas! The tool you are using is properly called a "right angle square." My Dad built houses for a living and I was the eldest of a horde of daughters. 😁
I once dated a guy waaaaay too long... because I adored his Dad who would teach me all about wood working. LOL Thanks for the reminder of the tool name!
Noise during your vids is ok. You live in a world with other people. I Love this idea of customizing my drawers. I will come back and let you know how it goes.
Subbed! I love that you don't wear make-up. I don't either. God made us beautiful naturally. 😊
I have sterlite storage drawers that needed that to help my craft items.
I used foam board to help create a shelf for an empty space above my paper crafting. YAY!!!!
Way to go!
Such a great ideas 💡 !
After perusing through various RUclips videos on this topic, this way is definitely the way to go -- if your goal is SIMPLE, easy-to-make dividers, and it is a fairly no-muss project. Sure enough, all it cost me was $1.25 at some dollar store for the foam core board, which easily cuts up for the desired lengths you need for the divider sections. Why go thru all the hoo-ha of cutting up lengths of boards with a saw? This simple foam core that Norrine describes is great because none of the pieces you cut out need to be load-bearing -- they just need to cause separation between your various objects. You can easily customize the slot sizes and adjust them if you make any quick mistake. One good tip is to NOT to make the pieces TOO DEEP; 1-1/2" inches is just fine as all you need is separation without having to dig too deep into the space to retrieve your object.
Made of foam core, they won't look fancy, but really all you need is the functionality, right? Less stress now, for-sure, reaching into our junk drawer in the kitchen. Nice job, Norrine!
Thank you! So glad it worked well for you!!!! You can always make them look better with some contact paper. They even have wood grain - so it would blend if you have wood drawers! :D
The L shaped item is called a square, in framing/construction it helps you draw lines for cuts on plywood, 2x4s ets to be sure your cuts are truly straight/squared.
THANK YOU!
Are these strong enough to use in clothes drawer to organize shirts and pants?
You rock!!!!
I know that this video was filmed 2 years ago, but did you glue both ends of the divider or just one? I find that hot glue dries so jolly quickly! I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I love love your videos, may I ask, where did you get all the beautiful blue box's and things, 😍
They are from Ikea. They discontinued the blue... but they still have them in black or white. I did find a similar one on Amazon... www.amazon.com/shop/callclutterfairy
Thank I just subscribed ❤
Welcome!!
Absolutely loved the video!!!! I made a new sewing cutting board and left some open box areas on each side to make my storage as efficientI as I could. I took the measurements of one of the cubes and it appeared to be 13x13x15 (LxWxD).I would like to make your drawers for two of my cubes. I got my handles, screws, nuts and washers. I already have the xacto knife and cutting knife.
If you would be so kind to give me some brief instructions for the dimensions on how to make the box with the dimensions indicated above. If you can’t, at the very least can you include a link on your project so we know the exact dimension of each piece?
I’ve got 10 foam boards hoping that’s enough. I like that you left some spaces at different depths because you’re exactly right .....some spaces need to be deeper than others.please give me the link for how I need to cut a project such as yours and, if you can, tell me how to adjust it to make
I'd love to help! Here's a link to my downloads. Just click on the foam core drawers: www.callclutterfairy.com/downloads-and-checklists-.html
Thank you so much I was starting to feel hopeless! Do you have any tips for a tiny closet? I bought some vacumm storage bags but i am so overwhelmed. 😥
Send me a picture, I'll see if I have any suggestions. :)
