​Recycling of plastic packaging
Who does not necessarily use his laptop when
bathing and is a friend of fast, simple solutions,
who likes to eat physalis and gets annoyed about
this plastic packaging, who can now transform
this packaging just at the moment into a practical
bathtub tray. Pull through the plastic grid two round
rods (8mm diameter). Finished.
