Ordered them off ebay last year. They were more clumps than balls, and fell apart into these small chunks of moss that I reroll by hand every now and again. I kept a few in a small glass bottle at work and would roll them around every morning, and they kept their round shape. I've since given that bottle to a friend so I don't know what became of them.

I haven't really cared for them this past year (kept them in a closed jar on my nightstand) but I've vowed to start now. I've ordered a small aquarium pump to help roll them around, I am going to give them ice every now and again, and I will move them outside in the winter. Currently, the nightstand is the only option, but the light there is limited. Is there anything else I can do? Tia!

A quick make for my dad so he can play without straining his eyes too much. It's compatible with a 18x12cm magnifier card available for cheap on Aliexpress. The card is superglued into the slots (try not to get glue everywhere like I did), and I also glued two layers of craft foam on each side so the holder stays in place on the console. It doesn't work without the foam.

Do NOT glue to the console! The holder is designed to sit just above the shoulder/trigger buttons and just below the reset and volume down buttons.

Every single shoe I wear gives me killer blisters so I figured I'd just make a pair myself. Sole is a cork insole + a thin piece of cardstock + faux leather. I traced another pair of sandals I like. Uppers are crocheted, everything is hand sewn (ow). I added some fabric to make the crocheted parts less floppy. The elastic that goes around the ankle is a piece of a cut up headband.

Now to make the other shoe...

Let me start by saying that the main selling point about the XTEINK X4 for me was its low price. If you like/bought it because of its size, this will not be your jam. I originally planned on 3D printing a case, but seeing the box that looked like a cute little book, I knew I needed to do something with it.

First, I removed the tray that the reader was nestled in, then wrapped the cover with fabric I had at home. I stuck a piece of self adhesive foil on the inside of the cover to hide the creases where I glued the fabric down.

Then, I stuck the tray back into place (I used thin double sided tape for everything). I wrapped the thin box that held the magnets and the screen protector in the same fabric as the cover, then stuck it into the tray. I left the magnets inside and they hold the ereader in place. I stuck the foam frame down, cutting off a small bit for easier access to the power button.

Because I am currently obsessed with drawing small flowers, I needed to add some to the cover. I painted the spine black. This was all done with acrylic markers.

Finally, I took an old jewelry bag that fit the case perfectly, and sewed it onto the back cover with a simple stitch. Added small flowers (of course). My reading light lives in there when not in use.

Because the fabric made the whole thing bulkier, the cover won't stay closed on its own, so I added a velcro closure.

I'm super happy with it! The cover gives me something to clip the light on, and I actually like the added bulk, as it's easier for me to hold. A cute lil project if you want a cheap, custom case, and you have some craft materials already at home.
