Paper Station for Kids

Hello! Do you or your kids need a spot to draw or blue print your diabolical world destroying gizmos? If so, this U-frame paper roll holder is perfect for you! By the way this is my first instructable. So if I did anything wrong please tell me how I could improve.

For this project you will need: - 4 foot piece of wood -power or hand saw -wood screws -drill with Philips head and and 1.25 inch drill bit (reference picture above) -paint/stain (this is optional, I used red paint) -dowel rod Project cost: $15.00 (for the paper, the wood and screws were already owned) My roll of paper came from Mardel (the Christian/Education store) the link to it is here: http://www.mardel.com/White-Banner-Paper-2718302.aspx It is 3 feet wide, and 2 inches thick. The wood I used came from my garage, and is 4 feet long, 2.5 inches wide, and .75 inches thick. You may have to find different wood based on the dimensions of your roll.

I cut my wood to 3 feet for the back of the U-frame, and 4 inches on each side for a little extra room. I then screwed them together. After that, I drilled a 1 inch hole in the sides for the dowel rod to hole the paper in place.

Next I painted the frame a nice red. I also painted the dowel rod white, but I forgot to take a picture.

To put the paper in, hold it up so that the hole lines up with the holes in the frame, and slide the dowel through. And there you have it! A great place for your kids or you to draw!
