GATHER YOUR
MATERIALS
Collect the materials and equipment listed. You can reuse old containers such as Styrofoam takeaway and aluminium pie dishes.
CUT THE STYROFOAM
Separate the two halves. Cut one small strip from one of the halves that’s about five centimetres long and a centimetre wide.
FOLD A HANDLE
Pinch the centre of your Styrofoam cutout and fold it so that it matches the shape in this image. When the two ends of the Styrofoam are flat on a surface, the middle section should stick upwards enough to hold onto comfortably. Tape this onto the centre of the aluminium tray.
