Hello Neighbor!

My t-shirts and leggings used to turn into one tangled pile every time I opened that drawer, no matter how neatly I folded them.

I did not want to spend money on a drawer organizer set, so I saved a handful of empty toilet paper rolls instead of recycling them right away.

Standing them up on their ends split the drawer into neat little slots, and now every shirt has its own spot. Below is how I set mine up.

Be Well,

Turn Empty Toilet Paper Rolls Into Free Drawer Dividers

Empty cardboard toilet paper rolls, stood on end inside a drawer, work just like a store bought divider tray for keeping folded clothes, hair ties, or office supplies from sliding into one big pile.

How To Do It

1. Save a handful of empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls instead of recycling them right away.
2. Roll or fold each item, like a t-shirt or a scarf, into a loose cylinder that fits inside the tube.
3. Stand the rolls upright side by side across the bottom of the drawer.
4. Slide a folded item into each roll so it stays upright and easy to see instead of sliding flat.

More Ways To Use It

• Cut a few rolls in half for a shallow junk drawer, and pens, tape, and chargers stop tangling together.
• A cereal box cut down to drawer height does the same job for bigger items like towels.
