You did a fantastic job with it I really love the colors and well I love everything about it really 💜 I don't have an XTool machine or a cricut machine it would make my creations alot easier and faster to make. I really like the way you changed the cover to open in the sense I didn't even think that could be done. Didn't that leave holes on the other side where they were originally? Fabulous job Steve many thanks for sharing another great video 👍 hugs from Québec Canada 🇨🇦 🤗 🫂

      Thank you for the lovely comments Carol. I didn't show that I filled the holes with a little bit of my new paper Mache and when it was dry gave it a little sand. For some reason I didn't press record on that bit. It worked really well and no visible holes
