Description

You can use this case for anything, not just pencils. Note: for the sake of this tutorial I have made a small case.

Instructions

  1. Small cimg9091 1314496464

    Before doing anything you need to decide what you would like it to hold (it's okay if you aren't sure). Measure out the object and double it (like if your pencil is 6 inches cut a strip of duct tape that is 12 inches). it would be a good idea to add an inch or two for extra space.

  2. Small cimg9092 1314496606

    Next decide the width. If you want it to be wider cut another 12 inch (hypothetically) piece of tape and add it to the edge of the other piece. Make sure they are attached.

  3. Small cimg9093 1314496684

    Tape the two ends together to make a circle (the adhesive side should be sticking up).

  4. Small cimg9094 1314496797

    Repeat step 1 and 2 but this time place the adhesive side to the outside of the circle you made in step 3.

  5. Small cimg9095 1314496989

    If your cases is 12 inch (hypothetically) in length then cut another 12 inch piece but this time cut that piece up the middle. Then you need to place the pieces to the edges so that there is no opening.

  6. Small cimg9096 1314497077

    Cut a small amount off of the top so that there is a hole for you to place your pencils in the case.
