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…

Thanks so much for all of your sweet comments on Traci’s Shanty Spotlight post. If you have not had a chance to check it out just scroll down a bit… so fun!!
Love this idea.. Seems as though it would make it easier to see a recipe when your hands are covered in who knows what!!!!!
Hey! I have a question!!?? How did you cut the metal flashing. I bought some to do this and it is not workin’ out for me! 🙁 Every time I cut it, it comes out very crooked and not straight at all…just wondering what you did to make it look so great?? Thanks! Love your blog!! 🙂
Where did you get the bottom and top piece? =]]
HI! I found this on Pinterest and instantly fell in love with it. I made one for my in-laws for their Anniversary! I have to say I think it came out great! I attached a recipe card with the “Ingredients for Love” yes a little corny but I think they will eat it up :O)
Thank you so very much for the tutorial!
This is so cute! I love it! How did you get the top piece though?
Thanks,
Emma
