It's probably just me, but isn't it annoying when you open a silverware or kitchen tool drawer and the tray slides back and forth and front to back? I know you can put down a drawer liner that will help this problem, but I wanted something a little more stable. So after some thought, I decided to try I these 3M picture hanging strips. (I love them for hanging pictures, so I thought I'd give them a whirl this way.)
Guess what? They work beautifully! I put one tab at the back of the drawer, and one on each front side. I removed the adhesive tab and carefully placed the tray in the drawer.
So there you have it - a quick and inexpensive solution to a common kitchen dilemma.
Great tip Becky! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhy have I not thought of this before. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis was my thought exactly because I use these all the time. This is a great idea...
DeleteThat is so smart. I tried the poster adhesive by 3M. Didn't hold that well. Gonna try this. Do you line your other drawers and shelves? If so with what?
ReplyDeleteWhat a totally awesome idea. Brilliant! I have a totally new kitchen and the drawers are much bigger than I was accustomed to. EVERYTHING's SLIDING! Gotta try this!
ReplyDeleteI use a big loop of blue painters tape and just replace it when I do crumb clean out every once in a while. Works well and is easy to remove =) All my inserts are plastic though so they are lighter.
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same problem.. I tried this and it didn't work! (maybe my boyfriend just shuts and opens the drawer too hard) I put a little block of wood I had lying around in the back of the drawer so the tray can't slide anymore!
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius...this makes me crazy...doing it right NOW!
