Free Plans to Build a Joss & Main Inspired Apple Art Easel

Easel

Looking at this easel reminds of my kids when they were little… I still don’t think I’m old enough to have a child starting college this year! My birth certificate says I’m old enough and his birth certificate says I’m his mother so I guess its true!

During my laundry room makeover, I decided I might like a better place to hang items that cannot be put in the dryer rather than plastic hangers suspended from wire shelving. I came across these drying racks and figured they would be an easily hackable build!

 

The plans are created for the Medium drying racks and can be easily adjusted for the Small

The Glue Holder…

I always find it irritating to pick up my bottle of glue, turn it upside down, give it a hefty shake (while my fingers are crossed hoping I closed the cap the last time I used it!), then apply it to my project. I like being able to store my glue with the tip facing downward. Its easy when I’m not using it –
