Slotted Spoon Stand

I climbed from the pantry stool straight up onto the laminate kitchen counter. Right near the chrome dish rack, two dry plastic straws and a flat wooden coffee stirrer were resting by an empty mug. I nudged the wooden stirrer with my base blocks to bridge two wire prongs, creating a steady horizontal shelf! When a stray straw rolled and threatened to slip off, I simply slid it perpendicular underneath the wooden stick, wedging both between the wire rungs into a tidy miniature tower. In short: upright wire slots make the firmest frames!
