It doesn’t matter whether you love grandma’s old cookbook or you love your new iPad for keeping your favorite recipes. Keeping it convenient and readable can be a tough task while trying to put together your favorite meal. Having a cookbook stand you can place wherever you want will help make this easier.
Making your own cookbook stand, that will not only hold your favorite recipes, will look great on your kitchen counter.
Courtney Says; “I came across this amazing idea and though, I had never worked with copper tubing before, I just HAD to try my hand at it. I’m always nervous to work with new media/material for the first time but I seriously could make a zillion of these beautiful, classy recipe book stands!”
This easy DIY cookbook stand from is made from ½” copper tubing and a few fittings.
