Supplies You’ll Need:

Before we start, gather the following supplies:

• 1×3 boards (or scrap wood)
• Drawer slides (2-pack)
• Hooks
• Measurement labels (Etsy or alternative)
• Screws

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Board Preparation

Begin by cutting your boards to the desired length, ensuring the front ends and edges are smooth. Sand the boards for a polished finish, making them pleasant to the touch.

Sand those edges!

Step 2: Hook Installation

Screw in the hooks evenly along the board. Opt for larger hooks for versatility and quicker hanging. Experiment with spacing, considering different sizes for various spoons if desired.

Step 3: Measurement Labels

Add measurement labels to each hook. You can order them online or get creative by writing directly on the board with a marker. Adjust the sizes as needed for accuracy.

Step 4: Drawer Slide Installation

Install the drawer slides underneath your cabinet shelf. Use caution with screw length to prevent protruding through the shelf above. Position the slides at an angle if working in a corner cupboard, ensuring a straight extension when open.

Step 5: Attach the Wood

Attach the board with hooks and labels to the drawer slide using screws. Ensure it is centered and test for smooth sliding. Be mindful of which end is at the front and which is at the back.

Disconnect the slide parts for easier attachment, then reconnect them. Test the slides to ensure they function smoothly. Soft-close slides add an extra touch of convenience.
