These are very well done!

I would gladly keep a T in one of these :)

Great way to be creative and great way to reuse items that would otherwise live in landfills

Awesome job!

C.T. works for me.

I can't do DIY, Ive tried with other hobbys and always end up making nothing but a mess and then buying the store bought haahah

Cheers

Finish another enclosure for B.Vagans, and I just make the door sliding on top... I didn't put any holes for air ventilation on top lid, and I am not sure if it is fine or not...

Size is 30cm x 30cm x 21cm
