Tutorial: No-sew suede color blocked tray

Laura from A Beautiful Mess shares a tutorial for making this color blocked catchall, with no sewing required. The look is bold and modern. Use it on your desk to catch stray office supplies, or on your dresser to collect jewelry and other small items. It’s made from suede and leather, which won’t fray and don’t require hemming, and assembled with fabric glue and screw posts.
