Saw it. Pinned it. Did it. / Acrylic Tray (almost free)

So the time has finally come and I actually completed something I pinned on pinterest. This deserves a party.

I am "that" person that pins about 500 million things, 5,007 to be exact (follow me here to check out my sweet pins) and does about.....zero of them. I guess I live through pinterest.

So you can imagine my joy when I actually tried one and not only completed it but liked it. Now that, is a day to remember. Patting myself on the back for that one.

The project I decided to do was the DIY acrylic tray. Inspired by Katie's SPD.

Here is mine:

My favorite part? It literally cost me about 3 dollars to make. Three.whole.dollars.

The only thing I had to buy was the shadow box picture frame. Since it was from hob lob, I used my handy dandy 40% off coupon.

If you didn't know this about hob lob, they ALWAYS have a 40% off coupon online. Always and forever. Just show it to them on your phone and you have 40% off one item in .5 seconds. I love it and use it every single time I go in there.

After you have gathered your (very few) supplies, all you have to do is literally cut the scrapbook paper to size.

I then laminated to ensure a decently long life, which I highly recommend if you are like me, as a few hours later I spilt my water in it and it didn't mess up a thing.

*If you DO laminate it, you will probably have to cut the paper down a little more as the lamination adds a little bit extra around the edges.

It's so easy that a caveman I could do it.

I am pretty sure I am about to go buy about 100 more of these little things. They are the perfect size and  I am so happy with how it fits in my little office.
