    • price: IDR 2,000 - 8,000 (below $1)

  1. Punch the dish washing sponge using your mini screwdriver, follow the pattern of your stick.

if your stick made from metal, it could be re-shaped by bending it over and around.

2. cut the sponge with your cutter/scissors, also follow the bending pattern of your stick.

Step 3: Assemble Them!
