DIY
i did my pencil case for exactly 24 colours, u can make it as long as u want it to be , use more than 3 colours of ribbons, use needle or sewing machine according to your wish.
Although i edited the way i first did the project as i found this way to be easier (ignore the orange yarn in step 3 this will come later)
