Kitchen drawers often don't remain organized for long. The constant removal of items and placing them back inside makes it nearly impossible for the storage space to remain neat. Many people use drawer organizers to help keep items in their designated spots. Although traditional kitchen drawer organizers get the job done well, they can be pricey. Rather than going the traditional route, consider opting for thrifted vintage cookie cutters. Believe it or not, you can use them to keep your kitchen drawers organized with minimal effort. All you have to do is glue the cookie cutters onto a piece of cardboard, posterboard, or corkboard and slide them into your drawer.

You can then place small kitchen items you own inside the cutters to keep them from moving around in the drawer. This would be the perfect organization solution for piping bag tips, bag clips, small caps or lids, and any other tiny pieces that are easily lost or overlooked. When you're done, it should be much easier to keep these items neat and in one place. This is a simple, budget-friendly way to make use of those old vintage cookie cutters you come across at the thrift store. Who knew creating custom kitchen drawer storage solutions could be this easy?

Although this DIY is super straightforward, there are still a few tips to keep in mind to achieve the best results and say goodbye to messy drawers. First, you'll need to cut your cardboard, posterboard, or corkboard to the size of the inside of the drawer so that it will fit in place properly. You can measure the drawer with a tape measure, then mark your material accordingly and cut it to size. If you want to make the drawer organizer more visually pleasing, you can take some time to spray paint your cookie cutters and foundation material before moving forward with assembly.

Metallic spray paint, such as the Rust-Oleum Specialty Metallic Spray Paint, would result in a more sophisticated look. When it comes time to assemble this drawer organizer, be sure to use the right glue. Hot glue that will set quickly would be the best option for this project. To assemble, glue your cookie cutters in place side by side on your material. Leave the finished project out on a countertop to dry thoroughly for about 5 to 10 minutes before sliding it into your kitchen drawer. When you're done, you'll have an easy way to keep kitchen drawer clutter organized.
