I was putting laundry away and decided I’d had it with my underwear drawer. It had become an overstuffed catch-all for camis and jammies, briefs and bras, swimsuits and socks, unmentionables and mentionables, all mingled together in a messy jumble. I re-homed, re-arranged and got rid of everything that didn’t belong in there.
The unfinished wood at the bottom of the drawer seemed a little too rough for my delicates, so I started looking around the house for a quick fix.
What turned out to be perfect was this colorful striped wrapping paper.
I cut it to size, folded the uneven edge, and secured it with masking tape.
That’s it. And, 2 years later, it’s still in tact and in place – even after our recent move.
You could use odd-sized paper ends for smaller drawers (nightstand? desk?) or even reuse paper from presents you’ve unwrapped to smooth out all your dresser drawers and make your laundry day a little brighter.

PS I was messing around with creating a page that makes it easier to find posts from my Instagrams, and I forgot that those posts would also go in my RSS. So if you noticed a bunch of random photos with dates as the title on our Facebook or in your inbox (if you subscribe), that’s all that’s about.
Very clever idea. And less expensive that drawer liners. Plus I like stripey paper.
Thank you! I wanted to finish the project quickly and didn’t have drawer liners on hand. This is what I found that worked the best.
Oh, I love this idea. It’s something even *I* can manage, and it would make me happy at least 2x a day.
Thanks! Enjoy! :)
Cute idea! I bet my girls will love this project for their bureaus. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah! They could pick out wrapping paper and so most/all of it themselves! If you use masking tape (or washi) to attach it, they can easily change it out too.
