This reading easel was created by cutting out specificially measured front, stand, bottom, and side peices to fit togehter. Then, the stand peice was attached to the front using white glue and wooden nails for extra support. Once that is attached, the side peices were added using the same technique, followed by the back peice and the bottom peice all being attached with white glue and wooden nails. Once all of the peices were attached, water activated tape was used to sercure the edges and corners. This reading easel can be used to prop a book and/or an ipad up for easier viewing. It can be used on a table, on the ground, or even on your lap!
