How To: Make a Sandwich Station from a Recycled Drawer

Let’s begin with a logic experiment:
- I am not a morning person.
- I love drawers. In fact, it’s a borderline fetish.
- I am a mother.
How does 2 help me with 1 even though I am 3? Easy. I made a Drawer Sandwich Station. My DSS helps me prepare sandwiches for my kids for school in no time. Everything I need is spread before me, ready to be used, and in less than a minute I am done.

So why am I telling you this when school’s just ended for the year? Because you'll have all summer to make this project and get some more sleep next year! Plus, folks gotta eat during the summer months, too.


Here’s how it’s done:
Materials and Tools
- An old drawer
- A wooden dowel
- 3 packages of curtain rod holders
- A piece of thin plywood
- A drill with a 1 1/2" hole saw saw bit
- Nails
- Paint and supplies
- Sanding paper
- Cork board (optional)

So i take it you cut the wrap with scissors since it doesn't have a jagged to cut it with?

This can be adapted to a gift wrap station as well using the longer rectangular drawers.
