Have you ever been painting something flat and had trouble keeping it from sticking to the table as you paint the edges? I've come up with the perfect way to prop wooden items up off the table to keep the paint from sticking while it dries. It's easy and inexpensive and so quick!

Just stick a simple push pin into each corner to create instant feet to prop it up. It even makes it easier to paint the sides of the item. Problem solved!

    Great tip! Hopefully I can remember this the next time I need to paint. I just finished painting a frame and could have used this tip.
