Sliding wooden drawer frames (2-3 depending on size)

Measure the interior dimensions of the drawer frames to determine the size of the wire mesh needed.

Use wire cutters to cut the black wire mesh to fit the measured dimensions of each drawer frame.

Place the cut wire mesh inside the drawer frame, ensuring it lays flat against the wood.

Using the staple gun, carefully staple the wire mesh to the wooden frame. Start from one corner and work your way around, ensuring the mesh is taut.

Check that all edges of the wire mesh are securely fastened to the drawer frame.

If desired, sand any rough edges of the wooden frame to ensure a smooth finish.

Repeat the process for additional drawer frames if creating multiple bins.

For a different aesthetic, consider painting the wooden drawer frames in a color that complements your kitchen's palette before attaching the wire mesh. Alternatively, use a different color of wire mesh, such as white or silver, to match your kitchen's hardware or appliances. Adding small labels to each bin can also enhance organization, making it easy to identify contents at a glance. Consider using this method to create separate bins for different produce, like onions or garlic.
