How to construct one depends your intended use.

Instructions

Wood Pocket Chart Holder

1

Give each 12 by 12-inch pine wood square a number (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4).

2

Lay square 1 on a clean flat surface, smooth side up.

3

Line the top three edges of square 1 with wood glue.

4

Stand squares 2 and 3 along the sides of the flat square and square 4 along the front of the flat square, smooth surfaces out.

5

Hold the squares in place until the glue is tacky.

6

Hammer small nails 1/16 inch from the front right and left edges of square 4. The nails should enter 1/8 inch from the top at the center and 1/8 inch above the glue. This will connect square 4 to squares 2 and 3.

7

Turn your wood pocket chart holder over and hammer small nails through the bottom of square 1 at each corner. This will connect square one to squares 2, 3 and 4.

8

Stick two-sided mounting tape along the exposed edges of squares 2 and 3. Mount your wood pocket chart holder to the wall.
