Problem: Article: This divider is simple and easy to make, and even easier to use. It is a great way to divide up the clothes in your dresser. Here's a list of what you will need: Measuring tape Cardboard Box cutter Metal straight edge Cutting mat (recommended) Gift wrap Scissors Spray adhesive You want to measure the width, depth, and height of the drawer. Write those numbers down. You will be cutting these out to make a cross-shaped divider. Here are the dimensions for each rectangle based on your measurements: The first rectangle needs to be the same height and depth as your drawer. The second rectangle needs to be the same height and width as your drawer. Place the cardboard on top of a cutting matt to protect your work surface. Use a box cutter to cut the rectangles out. To make a perfectly straight line, place a metal straight edge/ruler along the line you want to cut, and glide the blade alongside the straight edge. Do not use scissors to cut cardboard. They are not sharp enough and may create frayed edges. Each piece of paper needs to be the same length as the cardboard rectangle, but twice the height. For example: If your first piece of cardboard measures 6 inches high and 14 inches long, your first piece of paper should be 12 inches high and 14 inches long. If your second piece of cardboard measures 6 inches high and 28 inches long, your second piece of paper needs to be 12 inches high and 28 inches long. Spray the glue on from side to side, using light, even strokes. Try to overlap each stroke by a little to prevent any gaps. You are working with one piece of paper at a time so that the glue does not dry out. Consider working on top of some newspaper to protect your work surface. This will help it stick better to the paper. The long edge of the rectangle should line up with the bottom edge of the paper. The top half of the paper will be sticking out from behind the cardboard. Now, both sides of the cardboard should be covered with paper. The notches need to go down about halfway down into the cardboard rectangle. This will allow the pieces to slot together and form a cross. Form a cross with the rectangles, with the two notches facing each other. Gently push the two pieces of cardboard together. If the pieces wobble around too much, you can secure the seams with hot glue. Your drawer will now have four compartments. You can fill each compartment with a different type of garment, such as camis, socks, underwear, and bras.
Summary: Gather your supplies. Use a measuring tape to measure the inside of your drawer. Draw two rectangles on a piece of cardboard. Use a box cutter to cut the rectangles out. Cut two pieces out of gift wrap to cover your cardboard pieces with. Place the smaller paper, blank side up on your work surface and spray it with spray adhesive. Spray both sides of the smaller cardboard rectangle with spray adhesive. Place the smaller rectangle on top of the paper. Fold the top half of the paper onto the cardboard and smooth it down. Repeat the whole gluing, folding, and smoothing process for the larger piece of paper and cardboard. Cut a notch into the center of each piece of cardboard. Slot the two pieces of cardboard together. Insert the divider into your dresser drawer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Old pillows are great free packaging! Use whole pillows for filling in the spaces while moving furniture to prevent damage. Alternatively, you can use just the stuffing to pack fragile objects tightly in moving boxes or storage containers. Packaging that is made from old pillows can be reused indefinitely. Solid memory foam and latex pillows make especially good packaging, as they can be cut to size. Sometimes a bit of stuffing is all it takes to revive tired cushions and children's soft toys. Simply remove the stuffing from the pillows and place it inside the throw cushion or toy casing. Pack the stuffing tightly and zip or button the casing back up when you're done. If you're looking for a decor upgrade, you can also make your own throw cushions using the old pillow stuffing. Kneeling cushions make gardening much more enjoyable for your knees! Use a sturdy, vinyl pillowcase as a cover or get a specialty outdoor cover to make the kneeling cushion extra durable. Floor cushions are great for watching movies or playing board games, and they are especially popular in family or toy rooms. Put the pillows inside pre-made cushion covers that are large enough for 2 or more pillows or make your own covers if you're feeling creative. If your pet has an existing bed that is a bit old and tired, simply remove the cover, give it a wash, and stuff it until it's firm with stuffing from the old pillows. For a whole new bed, use 2-4 old pillows with pillowcases and sew them together. Cover the pillows with a warm, fleece blanket or an old comforter that can be easily washed. Your pet will probably enjoy sleeping on your old pillows since they have a familiar smell. Draft stoppers are great for preserving energy and keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. Cut 2 rectangular pieces of durable fabric approximately 6in (15cm) thick and as long as the base of your drafty door or window. Sew the pieces of fabric together leaving a short edge open and fill the casing with alternated sections of popcorn kernels and old pillow stuffing. Sew the open end closed and place the draft stopper in front of the door or window. The popcorn kernels weigh the draft stopper down so it stays in place.
Summary:
Use the pillows as moving and packaging materials. Use the stuffing to give lumpy cushions or old toys a new lease of life. Place a tough cover on the pillow to make a garden kneeling cushion. Make floor cushions with the pillows to create fun, practical accessories. Create a pet bed for a craft your four-legged friend will love.
