DIY Easles

Ryan and I are planning to make some DIY art to display on the guestbook table at the reception so we've been looking at easles to put it on and hadn't found any that we liked or were willing to pay the amount they asked for.  We hadn't really talked about DIYing them, but when I came home from work yesterday, much to my surprise there was an easel DIY taking place in the back yard! Ryan built a small one (17" legs) out of some scrap wood in the shed and it turned out awesome.  So awesome in fact that we headed to Rona and picked up supplies to make more! So now thanks to my awesome hubby-to-be we have 3 matching easels, 2 little and one big (5.5' legs) to display our art and the cork board that I'm covering with fabric to display the escort cards.  Here's one of the little ones with part of my gift table banner on it as a size gauge (the squares are 3" high).  We're going to stain them all to match the wood on the card box, hopefully we got the right colour!  The supplies to make all 3 came in around $45.  I'll put up a detailed list of materials with instructions on the DIY page.  These were really easy once we got the hang of it!
