Use Amazon boxes and give them a new purpose with this drawer, which can be used to organize anything.

Step 1: Base for Drawer

Materials

*Larger box

*Extra boxes

*Exacto knife

*Scissors

*Glue

*Sharpie

Step 2: Choose Box

Choose a larger box and smaller box that approximately fits inside. Using the larger box we will create the base for the drawer organizer.

Step 3: Trace All Sides of Larger Box

Trace the top and bottom twice, so you end up with four big squares.

Only trace the sides once. For Side 1 and Side 2 cut two slits at the end and cut.

Step 4: Cut Opening for Drawer

Trace the back of the smaller box with a sharpie on the front of the larger box.

Using an exacto knife cut the opening.

Step 5: Glue Pieces

Glue the traced and cut pieces to corresponding sides of the box. For Side 1 and Side 2 fold over flaps into the opening of the base.

Step 6: Drawer Sliders

With excess cardboard create drawer slides by cutting two rectangular pieces and fold in center. Glue to bottom sides of the base.

Step 8: Cut Opening

If the smaller box does not fit into base opening adjust by cutting off part of the front and back. DO NOT cut bottom flap!
