BASIC EASEL | DRAWING | PAINTING BOARD TUTORIAL

Put it Together

You could make this entire thing with just three items if you had the board cut for you.  if you were limited with supplies. Duct tape, masonite board and clips.  But you can also make whatever way you choose.  In the video I show multiple ways you could put it together.

  • Duct tape small roll $2.50- $3.50

  • 1/8 in. x 2 ft. x 4 ft. Tempered Hardboard  (Actual: 0.115 in. x 23.75 in. x 47.75 in.) $3.50 Choose something similar that’s lightweight and smooth, at least on one side.

  • Ruler or tape measure

Cut It

Some hardware stores will cut the masonite board for you if you ask. If you don’t have that option, you’ll need a few additional items for cutting the board. Including:

  • Utility Knife

  • Metal Ruler

  • Cutting Board  (Or thick flat surface you can cut on)

If you have not ever scored a piece of material before, please watch the next video for tips. *Video Coming soon

Hang It

  • 2” Clips. $0.99 each (or make some holes)

  • Drill Bit & Drill

Other Tips:

  • You can always add two giant rubber bands (as seen in image) to keep your board together.

  • Use sandpaper to sand down any rough edges of the board where it was cut.

    ***UPDATE: University of Houston Students! You can now check out some supplies at the university library, including a drawing board! Ask me about it if for some reason you didn’t know.
