Hey guys!! My next project was inspired by my recent love of magnets and galvanized tin. I decided to create a recipe holder for my kitchen!!
It’s a cutie!… This is what I did…
I purchased a 1x8x4 at Lowes and a large square dowel…
I also purchased a small craft circle…
My first step was to cut the dowel. I cut it about 11″ long. I then used my Gorilla Glue Epoxy to attach the dowel to my wood circle.
I then cut my 1×8 10″ long. I used the epoxy to attach the 1×8 piece to the front of the dowel.
Then I let it dry a bit…
I used my drill to put a hole in the top for the finial.
And here is was ready for paint!!!
I painted that with Rustoleum American Accents Heirloom White spray paint. After that was dry I started working on the next step.
I decided to shanty the edges up a bit with my sander and a bit of Minwax Dark Walnut stain…
I then added a bit of Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze… You guys know the routine!!
I found this galvanized roof flashing at Lowe’s…
I cut a piece just a bit smaller than the plaque I attached to the dowel.
I then used my epoxy again to attach the metal to the plaque to the wood piece. I added a silver nail in each
corner for a bit of shanty-ness!!
Now for my magnets… I used the same super cute Fleur-de-lis wood pieces that Ash used on a previous procect. I painted and glzed them the same and then used some Gorilla Glue to attach the magnets.
All finished… Now it just needs a great recipe…
It also makes a great picture holder…
