Give your toothpaste tube a squeeze to open it up if it is flat like mine. Then wash it.

You can do this before or after cutting it.

Cut the Toothpaste Tube

Cut a slit as long as your zipper in the toothpaste tube.

Then make it wider so your zipper will fit.

Remember you can always make the slit bigger but you can't make it smaller.

Make Sure the Zipper Fits

Stick your zipper in the tube to see if it fits.

Make the slit bigger if it doesn't fit.

Sew
