Tutorial: Make a no-sew lap desk

Louise from I’m Feelin’ Crafty shows how you can make a lap desk, with no sewing required. The bottom is made of fabric and filled with pellets so it sits comfortably in a child’s lap. The top is a purchased tray; she used one with tall sides to keep small toys contained. She uses fabric glue and hot glue to assemble it. If you wanted, you could sew the places where she uses the fabric glue.
