How to Make a Lap Tray

Lap-trays are multi-functional in design. They serve as a portable desk or table. Eating, writing, drawing, or typing on a laptop comfortably are all possible with a lap tray. You can easily make a lap tray out of everyday materials in the home. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Decide what household item will serve as the tray. A legal-sized clipboard, a cookie sheet, or a lid from a plastic storage tub will all work.

2

Based on the tray size, choose a pillow. Toddler-sized pillows fit clipboards nicely, but a throw pillow from a couch or a regular-sized pillow might be preferred under a cookie sheet.

3

Choose an attractive pillowcase. Place the pillow in the pillowcase. Spread tacky glue all over the underside of the chosen lid. If using a lid from a plastic storage tub, make sure to flip the lid upside down before gluing. Press the pillow firmly against the glue.

4

Allow the glue to set between the tray and pillow before use.
