Description

I've been seeing these everywhere, but they were quite pricey so I decided to make my own.

Instructions

  1. Small 1050

    Cut two rectangles of fabric, one for the front and one for the back.

  2. Small 1051

    Cut another rectangle that is as wide but shorter than the first two.

  3. Small 1052

    Pin the smaller rectangle to the bottom of the inside fabric and a strip of ribbon along the middle.

  4. Small 1053

    Place a pencil at the edge and pin the fabric and the ribbon around it.

  5. Small 1054

    Repeat this for as many pencils as you like.

  6. Small 1055

    Sew the lines in, removing the pins as you go.

  7. Small 1056

    Sew ribbons to the cover fabric for decoration.

  8. Small 1057

    Put the cover fabric on top of the inside fabric so that the wrong sides are facing out and pin around the sides and bottom edge.

  9. Small 1058

    Sew around the 3 sides.

  10. Small 1059

    Fold inside out and then fold in the top two edges and sew along the top.

  11. Small 1060

    Sew velcro dots to the edge and where the edge hits on the main body of the fabric when it is rolled up.
