Why buy when you can build?! And I’m all about supporting wholesome, engaging activities of our kids’! We all know, too, that a handmade and personalized gift is very meaningful. Although I love woodworking, I prefer the artsy stuff to regular carpentry. However, I got learn how Lazy Susan’s work with this project! Brianna came up with the idea to use a Lazy Susan bracket for these. The ball-bearing spinning bracket is pretty neat and took me longer to figure out than I’d like to admit. And more disclosure, I just went and bought the precut circular pieces. Someday I’ll dabble more in making those myself. In the end, these were quick and easy but meaningful pieces for two people I love!

When I posted it on Instagram, our friend Amanda fell in love with it…so we made her a personalized one for her birthday!
