"Don't worry if you don't have any crafting experience; turning leftover cardboard into an organizer is a quick DIY kitchen upgrade that only requires the material, a way to measure it, and a way to cut it. Start by taking the internal measurements of the drawers - the depth from front to back, the width across, and the height. Cut the cardboard into strips that are a little narrower than the height of the drawers."
