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

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.

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!
