Easy Housewarming Gift

A good friend of mine recently moved into a new apartment and Hadley and I wanted to go check it out!  I brought her a small housewarming gift that I made (thanks to Pinterest!) and thought I’d share it with y’all!

First of all – I have to give credit to my inspiration.  Chelsea at TwoTwentyOne created a B-E-A-U-TIFUL tray/liner, and her pictures and staging look WAY better than mine.  Check out her post here.

And here is my version – (the monogram was supposed to be an aqua blue, but when I had it printed, it came out with more of an aqua-green tint.  The fun thing about this project, though, is that I can make Courtney extra liners to switch out as she pleases!

I stuck a notepad and matching pen in the tray as well and voila! Instant personalized housewarming gift!  If you’re a close friend and are moving soon, pretend you didn’t see this because I will likely use this idea again!


Pin It!

This is SO beautiful! I've been looking for a tray but I think I might end up making one instead! Where did you get the plastic part? I saw these magazine coasters from a gift site and I've been meaning to DIY them (http://lbmgifts.com/store/gift-shop/home-decor)... but I might just end up buying them :P
