DIY Lap Desk/ Laptop Tray (Christmas Present) | The Carpenter's Daughter

This week, I made 3 laptop trays (aka lap desks) - one for me and two as Christmas gifts for our family.

I used my old IKEA Byllan laptop support as a template which is now my husband's. And although I just wanted to make the one, I thought this was perfect to use a flush trim bit with my router for the first time - plus, I used up the leftover wood.

Anyway, if you want to make yourself or for someone as a gift, here's what I used!
