Repurposed Shutter (magazine rack)

I love quick and easy repurposing projects!  I also love shutter and/or bifold doors.  This particular project is 1/2 of a bifold door. I have made other shutter magazine holders by removing every other slat. Generally I would put the claw end of a hammer in the middle and do a quick snap, then remove the slat from each side.
But thanks to my Dremel Multi Max, I found a much easier way to remove the slats.   I’ve never had a tool before that does flush cuts!


Since I had never used one, it did take me a few tries to get it flush.





The Multi-Max is an awesome tool!  There are many accessories available for it.






You can see here that one of the slats came out. I think that I removed it before I realized that I should try the Dremel Multi-Max.  I just stuck it back in the hole and then cut it off flush.





Look at all the new paint stirrers I have now!  





I switched the blade out and put the sander on the Multi-Max, to smooth out the rough places.





I primered it with the Wagner Power Plus. 





Then I spray painted it with a pretty green paint.





To finish it off, I applied a flourish that I cut with my Silhouette SD.





 

Yep, it sold at Glendale!

Stop by tomorrow for a  sneak preview of Chip Wade’s latest video, and a giveaway from Dremel!

Dremel was kind enough to send me the Multi-Max, but as always my opinions are my own.
