DIY Recipe Card Holder
Hi friends! Today I’m excited to be participating in a Secret Santa tour with some of my blogging peeps! I had so much fun making and sending a gift to my friend Tami of Curb Alert Blog and I can’t wait to see what everyone else made and get some gift ideas as well!
For my gift I decided I’d make some recipe card holders. I’ve been wanting to make these since I saw some similar at a friends house. So I figured this would be a great time to try out my rusty crafting skills.
I gathered my supplies for Michaels. The cost was roughly $6 per holder.
Assembly was pretty easy. I used my drill to drill a hole in the plaque portion and then……
secured it to the other section by using a dowel and some wood glue.
I then stood them upright to let the glue dry. Aren’t they cute!
Once both of them were secure and the glue had dried I stained them with a dark stain. I knew I wanted to paint them white and then distress so the dark stain was necessary in order to get a nice distressed finish.
And here are! Perfect for holding recipes or photos.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be making another trip to Michaels petty soon to make a few for myself.
So what do you think? Be sure and visit my friends by clicking on the links below to see what they made! Enjoy the tour. I’ll see you soon!
