Sandra,
No, I didn’t keep the YUM. A stencil means you remove the letters and toss them. For a reverse stencil, you USE the letters to paint or stain over them. One way, the project remains the same color, the other way the project color is changed, leaving the original color under the letters. Gee that’s confusing, isn’t it?
Just take another look at the pictures and maybe it will make sense. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment. I read each and every one!!

Some great ideas here! But, did you keep the YUM or not? Can you be more specific on the steps involved in doing a reverse stencil? Thanks for creating such a unique and terrific item! Sandra

Thank you so much Edie!

It really is THE easiest way to make an iPad stand, right?

Have fun making your own version.

You are a genius! Thanks for the clever idea. I think I’ll attach a picture hanger on the backside, on the picture stand, to store as wall decor in my kitchen. And what a nice gift it will be for the cooks I know!
Happy holiday Gail !

Blessings, Edie Marie

I would never get around to making the ipad stand (altho a great idea), but I do like the washboard!!! In fact, I actually have a small one in the attic. A few years ago my granddaughter visited an old plantation and got to wash clothes on an old washboard. She thought that was just soooo cool, so she asked for one of her own. I got her one, she used it once!!!! Guess it wasn’t as fun as she thought it would be:) Thanks for giving me an idea of what to do with it:) I still am unable to enter my website address below!!!! Don’t understand why??????

I love that you made your iPad stand customized to how you needed it Tania! That’s what DIY is all about. Thanks for thinking the picture frame easel is genius, I thought so too! I haven’t seen anything else like it before. It’s so difficult to come up with something “new”.

I just recently made one and just used it yesterday! I had been wanting to make ome big enough for my Kindle and cell phone at the same time (I like to jam while I cook). I bought something from Restore for $1 that was just perfect. I think it was one of those roll out shelves that is used for your cutting board. I also used a hinge that I didn’t use for something else and a piece of scrap wood for the stand. I absolutely love it! It works great for reading off my recipes and it’s also large enough for a recipe book. But on this, the pic frame backing is genius! Wish I saw this sooner. I probably would have done the same thing.

In reply to Christy Little.

My neighbor really loved it when she saw it, so I told her “since you cook more than I do, you’re welcome to it” So I suppose I’ll have to make another one for me. Have fun hunting for the perfect supplies to make your own.
