Lap Table

Lap Table

 

This is a quirky little table to use on your lap. Our daughter likes to write and draw while sitting on the lounge so this is going to be perfect for her!!

I bought a very cheap cushion and photo frame, you also need an unpicker, needle and thread and maybe a dob of glue

In the first step you need to unpick one seam on the cushion (as this one didn’t have a zipper!!)

Empty the stuffing from the cushion

Now take the back off the photo frame

And remove the glass. I didn’t use the glass as I was afraid it might break down the track. You could use it or replace it with Perspex if you wanted to.

I placed the heavy cardboard photo frame backing into the empty cushion

Now line the frame backing (inside the cushion) and the front of the frame (on the outside of the cushion) to the centre.

 

Poke the photo frames little lugs through the material of the cushion

If the material is thick you might need to cut a slight slit with the unpicker

Now fold the little lugs over onto the frame backing board so it’s firmly in place

I blobbed a dab of glue over the lugs so the material will less likely tear

Once the glue was dry I restuffed it

Now all that needs to be done is to resew it up!!

DONE

How useful will this be now, all for only $7!!
