I found this wooden board at Target on clearance and knew I could upcycle and repurpose it in some way. I decided to make a versatile recipe holder with it.
Here’s the original wooden board. It has a picture frame holder build in on back.

I had some of these clips on hand that came from the dollar store.
I added some E6000 glue to the back of the clip.
I pressed it onto the board and let it dry for 24 hours.
I realize a board with a picture frame style back isn’t something that’s easy to find. You can use this same concept with a picture frame. Put a decorative picture inside and add the clip to the glass.
Now I can clip on my recipes easy for cooking but that’s not all …
I can lean my cookbooks onto it.
I can clip on small cookbooks and keep them open to a page I like.
I can also use it to hold my grocery store list when I’m not using it for cooking.
You are such a creative genius. I love these easy breezy DIY projects.

Thank you so much Antionette, I’m thrilled you like them.
Very nice idea. I usually end up with my recipe book flat on the counter with a piece of plexiglass covering it to keep it clean.
Thanks Lee and thank you for sharing, I love that idea.
This is such a cute idea!! You just gave me a great idea on what to make my mom for Christmas. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you Michelle and I’m thrilled you want to make one for your mom 🙂
What a wonderful idea and it looks so easy to make. This will be an awesome Christmas gift for my female homecooking chefs!
Thank you Melody and I’m thrilled you might make some as gifts for friends 🙂

Thank you so very much for sharing and Pinning Marilyn, I appreciate it.
What a cute idea! I rarely can come up with ideas like this on my own, but your idea of the recipe holder seems like something even I could do. 🙂 Thanks for the instructions.
Thank you so much Lisa and I’m thrilled you like the idea and feel confident to create it too.
This is such a great idea! I would make a wonderful gift!
Thank you Kristi, and you’re so right… love giving away useful gifts 🙂
Very cool! I think one of the most challenging things for me, is keeping a recipe easily accessible while I’m cooking. It sounds dumb, but I typically may throw a towel over a recipe, or cover it with a pan lid as I’m rummaging through a cabinet. So this is an excellent solution!
Thank you Michelle and thanks for sharing. I totally understand, either I lose it in the mess or I spill on it and get it wet.
Darling creation, Chas! Thank you for sharing this on Traffic Jam Weekend. It had the most views during last week’s linky party.
