Are you in need of some extra storage space but don't want to spend a fortune on furniture? Building a cardboard drawer might be the perfect solution for you! In this blog post, we will guide you through the simple steps and provide you with some useful tips along the way. Let's get started!

Gather the Materials

  • Cardboard sheets
  • Box cutter or utility knife
  • Ruler or measuring tape
  • Pencil
  • Glue or adhesive tape
  • Decorative paper or fabric (optional)
  • Scissors (if using decorative paper or fabric)

Measure and Cut

Measure and mark the dimensions of your desired drawer on the cardboard sheets. Use a ruler or measuring tape to ensure accurate measurements. Once marked, carefully cut out the pieces using a box cutter or utility knife. Make sure to cut two identical pieces for the front and back, and two identical pieces for the sides. You will also need a base piece for the bottom of the drawer.

Assemble the Drawer

Apply glue or adhesive tape to the edges of the side pieces, and attach them to the front and back pieces. Press firmly to ensure a strong bond. Next, attach the base piece by gluing or taping it to the bottom of the assembled sides, front, and back. Allow the glue to dry completely before proceeding.

Add Finishing Touches

If desired, you can decorate your cardboard drawer using decorative paper or fabric. Measure and cut the paper or fabric to fit the dimensions of each drawer face. Apply glue to the back of the paper or fabric, and carefully attach it to the cardboard surfaces. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. Allow the glue to dry completely before using the drawer.

Tips for Durability

  • Use thick or corrugated cardboard for added strength and durability.
  • Consider reinforcing the corners and edges with extra layers of cardboard.
  • Apply a layer of clear adhesive or varnish to protect the cardboard from moisture.
  • Avoid placing heavy items in the cardboard drawer to prevent sagging or damage.
  • Store the drawer in a dry environment to prevent warping or weakening of the cardboard.

Building a cardboard drawer is not only a budget-friendly storage solution but also a fun DIY project. With a few simple steps and some creativity, you can have a functional and visually appealing drawer. So, gather your materials, follow the steps, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something practical with your own hands!
