The directions for the travel trays are in Mary Mulari's book Made For Travel. I keep mine in the suitcase, soon as I arrive at a hotel, I pinch the corners together & set on the dresser, & have never lost a ring, watch, change, room key, etc. since! The red one is a scene from Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains. The dream catcher is from designsbysick, which I enlarged to make it large enough for the tray. Others are probably free downloads. If making for a gift, it's nice to put something like "Gerry's Treasures" on it instead of travel tray!

These are great! LOve the designs you put on them!

I found this link for a tutorial on these - I'm thinking I'll just put a "batting" between mine instead of the paper or cardboard. Should be OK.

The bottom has plastic needle point canvas in there to give it body! Sew up 3 sides, slide in the canvas, sew up the 4th! Better than cardboard & easier than batting. Give it a try. And thanks for the link!! The canvas is at WalMart in a pack of 6 pieces and very cheap! Can get 2 or 3 from each piece...depending on the way you cut it!

I'm not familiar with term travel tray. Do you empty pockets for a man and remove jewelry and place keys in it? I don't get out much anymore!!!

I guess it's sorta a made up term! I use it when I travel!! Lost a watch behind the TV in one hotel (did find it) as it slid off. That's when I made myself one! And both men & women use them...my DH & I share mine when we travel!

Gerry yours don't look as deep as the ones in the tutorial from sllakin, are the dimensions the same?
Great idea I wear hearing aids and take them out at night along with my jewellery I usually have quite a collection on the bureau or night table this would be a great idea and doesn't take up any room in your suitcase...thanks for the idea...Glenda
