Step 1: Materials

For the materials you will need:

1. A empty toothpaste tube

Give your toothpaste tube a squeeze to open it up if it is flat like mine. Then wash it.

You can do this before or after cutting it.

Then make it wider so your zipper will fit.

Remember you can always make the slit bigger but you can't make it smaller.

Make the slit bigger if it doesn't fit.
