I use a old bottom half of a plastic powder box ( the kind that is about $2 for the powder at Walmart over her in the States) as a tray for all of my skincare. Works perfectly and keeps everything together. Also if you have an old flat bilfold unused (the ones that have the clear plastic window for a cell phone and the snap closure will work perfectly for this as well) and you have some of the flat sample packs you could put them in there as well. and that way you get a two for one. one they will be neaty out of the way and you get another use out of an old wallet, and when you open a sample pack up you can store it upright and not worry about it spilling out and making a mess on your vanity. Think of a pair of bookends and the "book" between them is the wallet.

Also as we have next to no budget in our schools (!!!!) its fabulous seeing something so nice that we could actually afford to do with oddements of felt. I agree they don't need tobe called Christmas decorations, they are so colourful they could be used anytime.<br /><br />DEf going to make these in school craft club, thank you !!!!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-13897313346656545932019-10-17T17:04:50.381+01:002019-10-17T17:04:50.381+01:00These look great.
