We do use the kitchen table but need to slide the lap tops out of the way before we can eat ( each meal ) Can't use trays due to 2 very spoiled dogs that have right of way to the couch. Only place they don't bother us is the kitchen table. The only real rule that they follow.<br />Love the ease of those tray mats. Will definitely resize a bit and make some placemats.

We don't eat at the table either and haven't for years and years. In fact, the table hosts plants year round except for Christmas Eve and any other time we have people over. We just use a lap desk but I love the idea of trays instead. Hmm, and these mats are just perfect for keeping the tray nice and clean. Fabulous!

Watching TV and eating is perfect for us two oldies, but we don't have mats for our trays. That needs to change after seeing the beautiful mats you made...love it! Painter's tape is one of my favorite ways to get those straight lines, too. Thanks for sharing how to make the mats and for hopping along with us.
