  Step 1

  Before you begin, grab some paper and make a template to the size you'd like the finished pencil pouch to be. Cut a rectangle to a width long enough to fit your pencils and wide enough, that when folded, can hold 4 or 5 pencils inside.

  Fold and crease the rectangle lengthways seven times, so that when it's folded, it creates a hexagon with eight sides. Cut a hexagon to the same size as the folded edges and a circle that's about 1.5x as big.

• 

  Step 2

  And finally, cut one of the eight sides off of the hexagon - we'll be replacing this side with a zip later on.

• 

  Step 3

  Use the templates to cut shapes from leather. I used blue for the pencil and beige for the wooden bits.

• 

  Step 4

  Mark the six remaining crease lines on the leather with a pen.

• 

  Step 5

  Using a cutting knife, gently score along these lines so that it penetrates the leather without cutting all the way through.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut six lengths of thick black cord to the same length as your rectangle. We want these to look like lines drawn with marker pen.

• 

  Step 7

  Gently fold your rectangle along one of the creases and glue the black cord along the line.

• 

  Step 8

  Use mini pegs to hold the cord in place until the glue dries and continue working your way around the rectangle.

• 

  Step 9

  When the glue has dried, find a zip that matches your pencil case and cut a small hexagon and circle from black leather.

• 

  Step 10

  Pin the zip along one side of the rectangle

• 

  Step 11

  Sew along each of the cord lines to secure and then open the zip and sew the other side of the rectangle to the zip.

• 

  Step 12

  Sew the smaller black circle to the larger circle.

• 

  Step 13

  Cut a pizza style slit out of the circle.

• 

  Step 14

  Fold into a cone that measures the same width as your pencil case and pin.

• 

  Step 15

  Sew in place.

• 

  Step 16

  Sew the black hexagon to the larger hexagon.

• 

  Step 17

  Fill the pencil case with a few pens to bulk out the shape.

• 

  Step 18

  Attach the hexagon to one end of the pencil case with a little glue.

• 

  Step 19

  Using a needle and thread, stitch a length of black cord around the outline of the hexagon.

• 

  Step 20

  Unzip the case a little and repeat with the top of the pencil.

• 

  Step 21

  Trim off any excess thread.

• 

  Step 22

  Fill up your pencil case and you're all done!
