After cutting keep them inside the drawer to see if it fits perfectly. If it is so tight try reducing the edges by a cm.

Step 3: Marking for Thin Strips

In the four dividers made, use a ruler and draw a line in the middle along its length.

Then mark a point for every 2cm along its length.

Repeat the same procedure for all four dividers

Step 4: Cutting Thin Strips

Cut thin strips of 1mm in the points marked till the middle line

Do it for all 4 dividers.

Step 5: Joining the Dividers

You can now arrange these dividers in the way you want for your requirements.

Tip: Try not to fold the cardboard while cutting thin strips or use cardboard that are thick.
