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.
