Kid's lap desk-Easy Project AND Cheap!

My daughter loves to draw while sitting on the couch, (she grabs a book and puts it on her lap for her table).... I thought, "she needs a lap desk" (It's going to be one of her Christmas gifts).  :)

Instead of spending $20+ on one, I decided to make one.
Here's how it turned out:

My total cost was $1..... Only because I have tons of scrap fabric and extra ribbon...

Here's how I did it:

Bought this white board at Target for $1.00

(kid size)

Cut a piece of fabric to hang over the white board (1 in.) on each side.

Fold fabric edges in and hot glue 3 sides to white board (making a pocket)

(excuse the wrinkles)

Stuff with grocery bags.

Hot glue the last side to the white board

Flip over and leave as is OR decorate it with ribbon and buttons

I'm happy with how it came out, especially for $1.00. I love when I could use stuff from my stash.
