This simple, flip-down kitchen cabinet recipe holder made from a wooden clothespin keeps recipes off the counter and at eye level. Here’s how to go about making it:
Cut 1/2″ off one leg of a wooden clothespin.
Drill a 3/16” hole through the long leg of the clothespin.
Insert a short screw in the hole in the clothespin.
Screw the clothespin to the inside of the frame on a hanging cabinet in your kitchen, so it can swing up out of site when not in use.
