How to store kitchen knives in a drawer in a simple, budget-friendly way using the good old classic Jenga blocks. If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to keep your kitchen knives neat and safe in a drawer, Jenga blocks might be just what you need! They’re a classic game that many households—especially those with kids—already have on hand. In our home, we own a complete set, and we even ended up with some extra blocks from a friend, which means we’ve got more than we need. Instead of letting them sit unused, I figured—why not repurpose them into something practical?
How to Store Kitchen Knives in a Drawer: The Bright Idea
One day while tidying up my cutlery drawer, I found myself wanting a simple, no-fuss solution that didn’t cost a thing. That’s when I spotted our old Jenga blocks and thought—why not? With a bit of rearranging and a spark of creativity, I turned them into a super practical DIY knife organizer using just what I had at home!

How to Store Kitchen Knives in a Drawer: The Simple Steps
Clean The Drawer
First, I cleaned the cutlery tray using a damp cloth and allowed it to dry.
Paste the Glue Pads on The Blocks
I pasted the Glue Pads on each of the blocks. These glue pads are great because they are removable and reusable. I have been using them for a variety of crafts for as long as I can remember, and I would highly recommend them!
Place the Jenga Blocks
I placed eight Jenga Blocks along the top and another eight along the bottom of the cutlery tray to keep the knives perfectly in place. I arranged them from largest to smallest, starting from the right. The great thing is, the setup is totally flexible—you can easily shift the blocks around to fit the size and number of your knives, as well as the space in your drawer.
Voila! The knives are no longer cluttering the kitchen countertop and are now neatly organized in the cutlery tray with Jenga blocks! I absolutely love this minimalist look—it’s a small change, but it really makes a big difference!
Tips for Repurposing Items
- Store Your Supplies: Keep wooden blocks or similar items in an easy-to-find spot—you never know when they’ll come in handy for a certain project!
- Think Before You Buy: Before purchasing something new, check if you already have items at home that can do the job. It’s a simple way to save money and minimize waste.
- Enjoy The Process: Have fun experimenting and let your creativity flow—it’s all part of the repurposing journey! 😊
