If you've never embroidered on vinyl, you'll be surprised at how easy it is! And, if you have already embroidered on vinyl, you know how fun it is! Take a look at this vinyl desk tray design with a custom monogram in the center.
I've found that desk trays can be the perfect gift for someone who seems to have everything. Great for organizing, they're perfect for catching clutter on tables, desks, and countertops.
This particular project was created wearing my Brother Ambassador hat and is posted on the official Brother blog. You'll find instructions for making your own when you CLICK HERE.
While this project is full of techniques accomplished with the Brother Luminaire, you'll find that I also included instructions for creating a tray using an embroidery machine with a 4-inch hoop capability. You don't need top of the line features to make a nearly identical tray. Take a look at my alternative monogram design idea for smaller hoops.

The Brother post also includes a link to the featured design shown above. I have good news for you! This classy design is free for a limited time and you can download the .pes file during the month of June 2022.
With the Brother Luminaire, I used special features such as grouping to make a beautiful four piece frame, and then I used My Design Center to create the diamond background. To help you learn the steps, I've created a 13 minute video to compliment the written instructions.
Bonus #2, here is a download (in PDF format) of my instructions for using special selection and grouping features to create the monogram frame with the Brother Luminaire:

By the way, once you learn the basic techniques, this tray can be made using other sizes, either square or rectangular. Looking for more gift ideas? A square tray is ideal as a holder for matching custom coasters. CLICK HERE and you'll find my coaster instructions from a previous episode of It's Sew Easy TV.
I hope you enjoy the project, the free design, and the bonus video featured here. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the project!
