Summer around our house means a glass of wine in the courtyard on Thursday nights, and now I have a monogrammed tray to serve it up with!
When I saw this random monogrammed lucite acrylic tray for a couple bucks at the thrift store, I snagged it up knowing I could figure out a way to DIY away the random monogram.
I mean, we all love a good monogram, but not when it’s not your initials! 🙂

Who would get rid of this amazing monogram tray in their right mind?!?
Sorry to whoever is “RGM”!
To find the Lilly Pulitzer patterns, I just searched “Lilly Pulitzer Patterns” on Pinterest. Of course, there was a plethora of options and I just stuck to ones that were close to my back porch color scheme, since that is most likely where this will get used over the summer.
Then I laid them out in Word to fit the size of the tray and printed.
Check out this Lilly eye candy!
For the monogram, I used this AWESOME chevron customized online monogram generator.
Using a brown paper bag for the base, I just glued some wrapping paper from my stash in coordinating colors to the back.
Here it is using the reverse side!

A quick trip to Staples to have it laminated and now I have a Lilly Pulitzer pattern acrylic tray personalized with my monogram for under $5.
I love this tray lined with Lilly prints, but the great thing about this project is that I can change out the liner depending on my mood and the season.
So pretty! I love this idea!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! I hadn't ever had anything laminated before and was pleased with how cheap and easy it was!
This is definitely my favorite out of the Lily inspired posts! Very creative!
Thanks so much! Lilly really inspired me to drink, ha! This one will get used lots this summer!
