DIY pencil case: a detailed description of how to make a unique pencil case for school

Consistent steps in the implementation of a pencil case made of lightning

First you need to prepare zippers of different colors. The number approximately stops at ten. The zippers must be the same size. Then, using a sewing machine or by hand, connect the sides of the fasteners parallel to each other. The seams must be placed on the wrong side.

In addition to the edges, the undersides of the fasteners are also sewn. Fold the pencil case into its proper shape. Fasten the clasp and decorate the pencil case as desired. This concludes the production of our product.

Denim case

You will need denim fabric, voluminous knitted insulation, bright thin fabric for lining, a zipper 25 cm long, threads, pins, a ruler, chalk or a thin piece of soap, decorative elements, and a sewing machine.

Stages of work.

1. Pattern. From each type of material, 2 rectangular parts are prepared, 26 cm in length and 12 cm in width. Be sure to cut taking into account seam allowances of 0.5 cm.
2. Use a ruler and chalk to mark the front side of each denim piece. Cross and diagonal lines should go through the center. External parts and insulation are sewn along these lines. The parts are first pinned together.
3. Decoration. At this stage of the work, denim parts are decorated with your favorite accessories (patches, beads, stripes).
4. Sew in a zipper. The right sides of the denim part and the zipper are connected and stitched. The inner part is folded and pinned to the wrong side of the zipper. Sewn on. As a result, it turns out that all the details are sewn to the zipper.
5. Connect the parts. Open the zipper, place the outer and inner parts on opposite sides of the zipper. Sew around the perimeter. Trim off excess material at the corners of the lining.
6. Open the zipper and unscrew the case. Ready!

Fabric-based pencil case

When working you will need the following materials:

• fabric of any color;
• polyester material made from cellulose fibers;

For this handy trick you will need:

• ring notebook,
• rubber,
• hot glue.

Progress:

• Open your notebook. We will place the pencil case on a hard cover.
• Now think about what supplies you will take with you. Cut elastic bands to fit the width of your supplies.
• Glue it to the cover with a rubber band.

To ensure that the accessories are held firmly in the elastic bands, stretch them and then glue them.

• Now you can put each accessory in its place.

This is a clever way to simplify your study routine. Now you have more space in your bag.

Sequence when making a woven pencil case

Before starting work, you need to prepare patterns: strong, reliable fabric and less durable, non-woven fabric. All described blanks must be the same size. The next step is to prepare the ribbon for the side bases. Before sewing the parts together, they need to be ironed well with an iron.

After this, connect 2 patterns of weak fabric to each other and sew. Iron the bonding area well to create smoothness. Using pins, secure the finished fastener to a strong fabric. Then attach the zipper secured with thick fabric pins to the seam. Using scissors, cut pieces of thin fabric. Pin the thick fabric and clasp to the side of the thin fabric.

Sew 2 sides to the base of the pencil case. After this, bend the wrong side inside our product. Next, iron the workpiece so that the seam made is located in the middle.

Place the auxiliary part made of thick fabric inside the pencil case, placing it on the sides. Sew transversely to the main part. Through the resulting holes, turn the workpiece inside out so that the main pattern of the fabric is on the outside. This completes the process for this product.

Case cylinder made from toilet rolls

A pencil case made from toilet rolls? Don't be surprised, because materials are not important to us. The end result will be an original pencil case that will never give away what it is actually made of. For this pencil case you will need:

• 2 toilet plugs,
• textile,
• zipper for the lock,
• scissors,
• needle and thread,
• stationery knife.

Progress:

• Prepare the bushings. We cut one bushing carefully and evenly in half.

We advise you to check whether your accessories will fit into such a pencil case; if the height is not enough, cut less than half from the second sleeve.

• Attach the second cut part of the sleeve with tape for now.
• We outline the bottom of the future pencil case. The bottom of the pencil case should be made of durable cardboard. There should be two cardboard circles.
• We do the exact same action on the fabric you want to choose. It can be absolutely anything. There should also be two fabric circles.
• Now we take our cylinder and wrap it in fabric with the front side inward, making reserves along the edges.
• Mark on the fabric where the two bushings will join. It is at this point that you need to carefully sew in the zipper.
• Mark a line where you will need to sew the fabric and start sewing the cover for the pencil case
• Then turn out the cover, take the cylinder and separate from it the part of the cylinder glued with tape, which will be the lid. Sew a zipper to the lid so that when opened, it swings freely and easily closes the future pencil case.
• Now sew 2 cardboard circles to the pencil case, to which fabric circles have already been sewn.
• Remove the cover again, turn it right side out and you can put it back on, enjoying the result. The original cylindrical pencil case is ready!

You can glue the cover to the pencil case. This way the fabric won't go anywhere.

Case made of plastic bottles

Fold the bottom of the fabric over so it looks like you've covered your school supplies with a blanket. Now take out the accessories and decorate the future pencil case with a silk ribbon, also gluing it with hot glue.

Then turn the pencil case over and stick on a long silk ribbon, with which we will tie our pencil case. Our cute pencil case is ready! Place all the accessories back into the pencil case, waiting for the glue to dry completely. Wrap the pencil case in a tube and tie it in a bow.

For such a pencil case, you can choose felt of different colors; you can decorate it not only with silk ribbon, but also with braid, buttons and other decorations.

To obtain the intended product, it is initially necessary to apply a layer of glue to the surface of the container. After this, wrapping paper or some other paper is glued to the sides of the container.

Paper of the same color is glued to the lid, which was also glued to the main part of our product. Finally, you can decorate the finished pencil case with all kinds of decorative items. It will serve you for a long time.

Leather pencil case: stylish and original

If you are a creative person and don’t want to use ordinary and boring pencil cases, then this idea is definitely for you!

For a leather pencil case you will need:

• rectangular piece of leather,
• stationery knife,
• ruler,
• braid or silk fabric.

Progress:

• First of all, we measure the required size of the leather flap. It should be cut evenly and neatly into a rectangular or square shape.
• Using a utility knife, we make vertical and horizontal cuts in a checkerboard pattern. To make the cuts smooth and neat, be sure to use a ruler.
• On top of the flap in the middle we sew two strips of braid or silk fabric.
• We thread our pens and pencils into the holes, wrap and tie the pencil case in a bow. Our original and very interesting leather pencil case is ready!

To make the pencil case look prettier, use a wide braid or ribbon to make the bow look voluminous. There is no need to overload the pencil case with various decorations. A braid is enough, because leather is quite a strict and elegant material. If desired, you can use leather of different colors.

Necessary materials

So, for sewing you will need:

• Thick fabric - it is better to take artificial leather, genuine leather or something similar. It is important that the material is durable, resistant to damage, but at the same time soft. The optimal length is 50 cm.
• The zipper is 15-18 cm long. It is needed for the inside pocket, so it can be used as desired; you can do without it.
• Bias tape for edging. I recommend taking satin, it looks elegant. The length is chosen 4 times the size of the selected fabric, in my case - 2 m.
• Leather lace - again, any other material will work, but leather is less likely to break at the wrong time. Length – 50 cm.
• Needle and thread, double-sided tape or superglue.

I also wanted to add some extra flair to my creation, so I will use a small metal lipstick pendant for decoration. Choose your own detail - iron-on adhesive or embroidery. Such little things will make the case study original.
