How to make it
- 01Download the file that matches your sheet thickness and test one short divider in its slot before running the full job.
- 02Cut the nine pieces from the 980 × 282 mm layout or split them over two smaller sheets.
- 03Clip the three short dividers onto the long cross divider, set that grid into the base, then fit the back, sides and the 54 mm front.
- 04Sand, seal against splashes, and fill the back pockets with brushes and lipsticks and the front bays with compacts and palettes.
How the five compartments are arranged
A full-length cross divider, 71.7 mm tall, splits the tray into a back row and a front row. Two short dividers cut the back row into three equal pockets, and one short divider splits the front row into two wide bays. In the photo the back pockets hold brushes, gold lipsticks and an eyeshadow quad, while the front bays take powder compacts on one side and a blush palette on the other. Because the cross divider is lower than the 90 mm back, tall items behind it stay visible over the top.
Thickness and laser time
The nine parts are laid out on a 980 × 282 mm sheet. Owners of compact desktop lasers can split the layout in two, for example the base and cross divider on one sheet and the walls on another. With 3 mm plywood a 10 W diode needs about 20 min 25 s for the 3 mm file, a 40 W CO2 about 8 min 30 s and a 100 W CO2 about 4 min 05 s. Thicker 5 or 6 mm stock will need multiple passes on a diode.
Putting it together
Hook the short front divider and the two back dividers onto the cross divider first, then drop that grid into the base. Add the back, both sloped sides and the front last. Glue is optional, though a little wood glue on the base tabs stops the tray from flexing when you pick it up full.
Ways to sell or gift it:

Questions about this file
What goes in the three small back pockets?
They suit makeup brushes, lipsticks, mascara and eyeliner pencils, which all stand upright against the 90 mm back wall. Compacts and flat palettes fit better in the two wider front bays.
Can I cut it from acrylic instead of plywood?
Yes, cast acrylic of the same thickness works with the matching file. Test a slot first, because acrylic has less give than plywood, and use acrylic cement instead of wood glue.
Do the dividers need glue?
No, they sit firmly in their slots. Glue only the outer tabs if you want a rigid tray that will be carried around often.
How do I protect it next to the bathroom sink?
Seal the plywood on all sides with polyurethane or a water-resistant oil and let it cure fully. Wipe up liquid foundation spills quickly, since they stain bare wood.
Can I engrave the front of the tray?
Yes, the 300 mm front panel has space for a name or a short word such as Beauty. Add the text as an engrave layer yourself, because the download contains cut lines only.
