Tray Chic by Lazy Girl Designs

I needed a quick gift and sewed the circular tray in under an hour from my layer cake stash—the instructions made it foolproof. The finished hexi shape is perfect for holding my keys and lip balm by the door.

The hexagon tray is surprisingly roomy for coming from a 10-inch square—perfect for holding my morning coffee and a small plant. The one-piece construction made it a breeze to sew up in under an hour.
