Tuesday Night Block Party

great way of using up and polystyrene packaging you have.. just use a craft knife and a ruler, i cut the round ones by drawing round a tea light and a wine bottle screw top lid!

ERGGGG hated this

mm slightly better, still not my fav

That is better, lay the zipper I am going to use on top to fill the space which will be the front of a makeup bag
