Does anyone know where I can get a cheap mini wooden easel from. Ikea used to do them cheap and I know I had one years back but got rid of it!!!! I've seen lots of people using them to display their cards when photographing and would like one!! I've looked on ebay but they seem too small or packs of 2 and high postage. Anyone got any alternative ideas???

I got mine off ebay but have seen mini ones in the range and hobbycraft think they were between £1- £2

Thanks will check Hobbycraft when I next go there - didn't think of there. Ikea sell heavy metal ones now - don't know why they stopped selling the wooden ones.

I got mine from hobbycraft, they are small ones and came as a pack of 2 for 99p I gave my other one to bunbun

Well done Gem

I was thinking the same thing. I am going to look in The Works. Or possibly, should I be ordering anything from Cowling and Wilcox, not that I can possibly imagine what I might want from there, then I'll have a look there too.

PONR - I use plate stands from 'Chinalite' on ebay they work ok, are cheap enough and delivery was quick. They were very good 'cos once I'd ordered the black ones I saw they did blue and they swapped the order for me. I can look for the size I use if you want but I'm sure if you look at all they do you'll find the right size. Only downside is they don't look very trendy! You can see the feet of mine on my recent pics.

Thanks Marg - if I can't get the wooden easel will order these!

I will indeed, but have just remembered I have a wooden cookery book stand, that I can utilise. But I'm sure I can find an excuse to go into the works xx

But there is also this
