Glovebox Essential/Everything Pouch
This pouch is a lifesaver on the road trip. I organize my essential stuffs into it. It occupies small space in glovebox, but it holds many many things.
It has 1 zipper pouch, 2 pockets and 20 transparent zippy bags. So totally 23!
In the first zipper pouch, I put all the tiny items like pins, paper clips, safety pins stuffs like that.
In the pockets, I keep business cards, paper and pen.
In the transparent zippy bags, I organize first aid kit, tablets, scissor, glue, cellotape, small make up kit, hair elastic, batteries, lotion, hand sanitizer, wet tissues, nail cutter, thread and needle.
It is truely lifesaver pouch during travel. Hope this instructable will help many...
