Do It Yourself Snap Tray UPDATED

When I posted about the huge variety of snap trays available to hold your tools and threads while you work in style, Erica spoke up about this link to a site with instructions for making your own "travel trays."  Judging from the photo, there is a version that uses Velcro to join the corners instead of snaps, too.  Since this link was in a Comment, I wasn't sure many folks would see it, so I'm posting about Erica's find in a message you will see, in case you are interested in making these yourself.

Many many thanks, Erica!

UPDATE:  Here's Erica's new home made snap tray.  Cute!

You're welcome Jane! I hope others find it useful. I plan on making one myself soon.

Please post a photo if you make yourself a snap tray. I'd love to see what you come up with.

Okay - I finally hauled out the sewing machine and made one today. It was quite successful, if I do say so myself! Pictures on my blog here:
