How to make it
- 01Choose the thickness, preferring 3 or 4 mm for wider slots, and test one divider slot on scrap.
- 02Cut the ten parts from the 1128 × 272 mm nest, moving the five identical dividers to a second sheet if needed.
- 03Stand all five dividers in the base, add the 100 mm back, slide on both sides and close it with the 60 mm front.
- 04Sand the divider tops, seal the box and file palettes upright, largest at the back slot.
Palettes filed on edge
Five dividers run from front to back and divide the 300 mm length into six slots, each a little under 5 cm wide. That width is chosen for things that are flat: eyeshadow palettes, blush and bronzer compacts, highlighter pans. Standing on edge, they take a fraction of the space they would need lying down, and you pull out the one you want without lifting the others. In the bathroom photo the first slot holds brushes and the second lipsticks, followed by two compacts, an eyeshadow quad, a blush and a tall palette at the end.
Cutting the ten parts
The 3 mm nest is 1128 × 272 mm. Because the five dividers are identical (160 × 100 mm), they are easy to move to a second sheet on a smaller laser. The 3 mm file needs about 23 min 19 s on a 10 W diode, about 9 min 43 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 4 min 40 s on a 100 W CO2. Stick to 3 or 4 mm here if you can: every extra millimetre of divider is taken from the slots, and with 6 mm sheet they become noticeably tighter.
Assembly and ideas
Stand all five dividers in the base, press on the back, add the sides and finish with the 60 mm front. The dividers brace each other, so the box is firm without glue; glue the corners if it will be shipped.

Questions about this file
How thick a palette fits in one slot?
Each slot is a little under 5 cm wide with 3 mm plywood, which fits two slim palettes or one thick one. With 6 mm plywood the slots get narrower.
Can I change the number of slots?
Yes, delete a divider and its base slots in your editor for five wider slots. Keep the remaining slot widths equal to your plywood thickness.
Which thickness keeps the most space for palettes?
3 mm. Five dividers in 6 mm plywood take 15 mm more width than in 3 mm, so the thinnest sheet leaves the most room.
Should I seal it if it stays in the bathroom?
Yes, apply clear lacquer to all faces, because the thin dividers absorb moisture quickly and can warp.
Can I cut the dividers from colored acrylic?
Yes, if the acrylic is exactly as thick as the plywood file you use. Colored acrylic dividers in a birch box look good in shop photos.
