Cardboard case

First, we'll discuss how to make paper cans. With their own hands, it's easy to glue them from cardboard. To begin with, fold in a row available pencils or markers, pens. It is better for each type of writing medium to make its case. Now measure the space occupied by the ruler. Its length will determine the length of the cardboard, which will be required under the pencil case. With your hands, put the right amount of centimeters on a sheet of cardboard.

Add on the right, left and below another 2.5-3.5 centimeters on the sizing and inner volume. Draw a simple crease line with a pencil. Cut off excess paper. In a similar way, make the second blank-side under the canisters with your own hands. Only additional centimeters do not measure - they are no longer needed. On the pencil lines, bend the allowances to the seams.

Spread with glue, attach the second preform on top, glue both parts. You got a box. Decorate these pencil boxes with their own hands is not more difficult than producing them. You can buy in the store a special heavy sticker paper "marble" or with a different pattern. Perfectly suitable wrapping paper with golden inclusions, embossed ornament, etc. Or be limited to applications made of fabric, colored paper, ready-made set. Now you have left to make and attach the cap. That's all the tricks of how to make a pencil case with your own hands made of cardboard!

Cloth case

The second variant of manufacturing a pencil case - from a fabric, for example, denim. However, the material will suit another, most importantly - harder: corduroy, teak, etc. In addition to writing items in such a case, you can keep a notebook.

To make a similar pencil case with your own hands, prepare 2 pieces from a denim cloth for 45 by 36 cm for the base; One is 21 by 30 cm for the pocket; One more for 30 cm for a pencil pocket; 9 to 16 - the parameters of the lock.

The technology is as follows: on the base material, cut a pocket from old jeans trousers. From one of the outer edges, he must retreat by 3 centimeters. In it you can insert a notebook. Now pocket the pencil base. Stretch along the entire length into separate compartments, where you will insert your objects for drawing. Do this on the left, the wrong side of the case. Then turn on the front side and stitch. At the end, insert the zipper. Fill the pencil case and use the little thing! Successful needlework!
