Sometimes I see pins and they stay with me for months, I must make them but never seem to get around to it. This pin here from Mamie Jane's I always seem to see and every single time I saw it I thought I want to do that! Finally I did!
I made mine a little different only because I found different items.
I grabbed a cheap chopping board from The Reject Shop
Some spare corner trim from my every growing molding supplies.
Spray painted it pink, I loved Mamie Jane's farm house version but sadly for me I don't have a farmhouse style kitchen.
For some inexplicable reason the entire time I was making this I had Oasis's song Roll With It stuck in my head so I cut a little vinyl with the lyrics and funnily enough it suited a kitchen theme, so how could I resist the rolling pin and timer. For the stand I just used an old photo frame hinge and back.
There you have it, an ipad holder for the kitchen, since these days I am way too cheap to buy cook books when I have an internet full of delicious recipes for free!
DIY Delight or disaster, oh I am pretty darn happy with this, I like the fact I can keep the iPad off the bench while I am cooking, Delight and another pin down, whoooot!
Thanks for reading,
Mel xo

Total delight ! Now I only need an i-pad and then I can make one of these cute holders as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute way to keep your ipad safe in the kitchen! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is SOOOO smart, and would even work for us old-school cookbook people! ;)
ReplyDeleteMel, I love that this is totally functional and fun at the same time! Yes, I need one of these, no question! Thanks for sharing and pinning! Have a wonderful Monday!
ReplyDeletesuper cute! If only I had an ipad :o)... this really is a brilliant idea though..I have had my lap top in the kitchen and I'm always SO worried :o) EMily Pinning!!! oh I like the new header too!
ReplyDeleteI suspect some of my pins will live for years without my going in to create them. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great, as usual. :)
SO CUTE! What a great gift idea too, thanks for sharing! Pinned :)

Great idea! I need one of those! Thanks for sharing on the DBB. I'm pinning this.
ReplyDeleteLove this Mel! And love Oasis too. This is so convenient for the kitchen, and pretty in pink too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea- I prop up my iPhone or kindle fire all the time, and they are usually smeared with butter and sugar!
ReplyDeleteGIRL how do you come up with these fabulous IDEAS !!! OMGOODNESS now you know I am going to have to try and make this. I LOVE IT
ReplyDeleteI love it! Wish I had an ipad- I'm getting tired of printing out recipes when I see them online. I have a ton of cookbooks and never use them any more.
ReplyDeleteIf I cooked, I would totally copy this!!! Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI so need an ipad, and if I had one, I would so make one of these. Too cute, Mel
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea! Cute graphics. cute, bright pink and I love that you used a lot of what you had on hand. good job!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I wish I had an ipad. I love that you created this so frugally, that's my kind of DIY project for sure. And, I love that your ipad is set to my favorite blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Our iPad has a stand in the cover that we use but if not, I would definitely have to make one of these. Oh and I really thought you used a Scrabble tile holder. :)
ReplyDeleteNo way! How clever (and beautifully done)!
ReplyDeleteI love it Mel! I want an iPad...but first I need to move somewhere that has internet! This is such a fun and functional project and the song words made me smile, before I even finished my first cup of coffee this morning! You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic and you probably just saved yourself from the inevitable spill disaster!
ReplyDeleteGreat project Mel. Love your choice of verse too. I'll probably be singing that song all day in my head.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love this! I currently do it on my phone which is quite the pain. It always shuts off before I have to to read everything and I constantly have it in my hand. The quotes are great too! Love the rolling pin.
ReplyDeleteLove this! What a great gift to give a friend. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use in back to make it stand up? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use in back to make it stand up? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI used the stand from an old picture frame and just glued it to the back.
