Make a school pencil case with your own hands. DIY leather pencil case. Delicate felt pencil case

Stationery and school supplies stores are full of a variety of school pencil cases. It sometimes becomes very difficult to understand among all this parade of colors and shapes. However, having spent an hour or two of your time, you can prepare a pencil case yourself according to your own author's design. You can decorate it as you like, add additional elements that emphasize the individuality of the item. This article will discuss how to make a pencil case for a school with your own hands.



Pencil case from a plastic bottle

To make a children's pencil case from a bottle, you will need:

  • two bottles of the same size, preferably with a tighter plastic;
  • glue (both hot glue and super glue will do);
  • scissors;
  • lightning.

To prepare a pencil case, you will need to use the bottoms of the bottles. By connecting the two parts with a zipper, we get a single design.





Thus, the original pencil case was ready in a few minutes. To give a finished look, you can decorate it with various elements based on your own taste.


Denim pencil case

Knowing the basics of patchwork - and voila - a practical accessory is ready. Old jeans will help you create a unique cosmetic bag that will find a place for any girl, or a pencil case, which is given an honorable place in a schoolboy's knapsack.

To prepare a school pencil case from fabric with your own hands, you will need to stock up on the following:

  • a pair of 26 cm X 12 cm pieces of denim;
  • a couple of pieces of cloth and batting as a lining;
  • buttons, decorative beads and stripes;
  • zipper length 25 cm;
  • wax pencil, thread with needles.

The use of three layers of fabric will make the pencil case soft, secure and tight. The pencil case pattern is extremely simple. To save time and make the seams strong and of high quality, it is recommended to use at least the most primitive sewing machine.





Pencil case made of paper

It is still better to have pencils and pens collected and neatly arranged than scattered about inside a bag or briefcase. From the material at hand, you can make an excellent pencil case for school.

Necessary things:

  • scrap paper;
  • PVA glue;
  • cardboard rolls (it would be better to take cardboard from paper towels and toilet paper, because rolls of different diameters are needed);
  • some styrofoam;
  • scissors, ruler, stationery knife.

Again these ever-disappearing writing instruments! One has only to be distracted for a minute, as a pen or pencil has already disappeared somewhere. And this is so annoying. Familiar situation? And there seems to be a pencil case, but only most of their peers have the same. Everyone is constantly confusing them with each other, figuring out where whose. To help the student properly organize the workplace, teach him to be neat and highlight him as an extraordinary person, you can jointly make a pencil case for pencils with your own hands.

Junk options

An interesting and at the same time stylish pencil case can be made from various unnecessary or used things, such as empty containers and boxes, yarn leftovers from knitting, old things.

Let's consider several versions of such crafts.

First option

A round pencil case with a secure clasp in a delicate lemon shade is easy to make with your own hands from ordinary cardboard sleeves from toilet paper or kitchen towels.

A step-by-step master class will tell you in detail about the entire manufacturing process.

For a pencil case you will need:

  1. Several rolls of toilet paper;
  2. Masking tape or tape;
  3. Cardboard;
  4. Sintepon and thin fabric or dense fabric such as drape;
  5. Zipper fastener;
  6. Threads, needles, scissors.

Work description:

  1. Divide one of the cardboard cylinders into 3 parts and cut off 1/3. We splic the toilet paper sleeve and the longest part of the cylinder together to form a long tube.

  1. Cut out the bottom of the future pencil case from the cardboard along the diameter of the sleeve. We make the same blank out of fabric.

  1. We make a blank for the cover from fabric. To do this, wrap the sleeve - this is the width of the workpiece. Remember to make a seam allowance. The length will be equal to two full cylinders. At a height of 1/6 of the length, cut the part and insert the zipper.

  1. We sew a case for a pencil case. We turn it over to the front side.

  1. We insert the tubes into the cover, attach the bottom.

  1. The pencil case is ready with no extra effort.

Second option

Old worn items can also be great materials for making school pencil cases if you are smart and imaginative. Jeans make durable and functional organizers for writing utensils.

The third option

Elastic braiding is very popular among children. Both girls and children are fond of it. Toys and jewelry are created with the help of elastic stretching rings and a special fork. Why not weave a useful thing out of rubber bands?

Fourth option

The most elementary way to store your pencils neatly, which does not require financial costs. With minimal effort, a pencil holder can be made from a plastic bottle.

For sewing lovers

Those needlewomen who communicate with a sewing machine on an equal footing can please their schoolchildren with interesting and unusual designer organizers for stationery.

A solid and durable pencil case is obtained from leather, which will serve its owner for more than one year.

Only professional seamstresses can make such a product. If your skill level is not yet so high, and you really want to please your child with an author's thing, there is an easier option.

For such an organizer, you only need to make cuts on a leather base in the right places.

Another version of a leather pencil case, which is easy to make on your own, is reflected in the next photo.



There are also a huge number of ideas for making fabric pencil cases. There are both simpler models of organizers that even inexperienced seamstresses can make, and more complex ones. Below are examples of some of them.




Bright, voluminous pencil holders that will keep their shape are obtained from felt. This material is durable and does not spill out, which allows you to make unusual designer items from it.


Such pencil cases not only perform their direct functions, but can also become part of the interior of a children's room.

Hastily

Children are very fond of hand-made things. But, as a rule, they still do not know how to sew and knit. The children will be happy to make paper pencil cases.

For this craft, you just need to decorate the box of a suitable size with wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper. Appliques and patterns cut from the pages of bright glossy magazines will look good on such a pencil case.

Even very little ones can make such simple paper products.

This craft not only serves as an organizer for pens, but also serves as a bookmark for books. By drawing your favorite cartoon character of the kid on the pencil case, you will raise the pencil case to the rank of your favorite things.

Older children will love the process of making a felt pencil holder without the zipper and without the need for sewing items.

This charming accessory is made using a glue gun and bright braid of various colors. Using the tips shown in the pictures, the guys will be able to make such a pencil case without much difficulty on their own.

Hand-made things always arouse interest and attract attention. What is great about needlework is that it allows you to create not just beautiful knickknacks for decoration, but also really necessary things.

Beautiful handmade pencil cases belong exactly to this category of utility: they are necessary for children of any age, and even an adult can be useful. Making them is not at all difficult, and who knows, maybe one evening lesson will grow into something more?

We select the source material

If you look closely at the photo of ideas on how to make a pencil case, then you can guess the basic materials that will be required for creativity. Don't get rid of it right away:

  • from the rolls on which paper towels or toilet paper are wound,
  • scraps of fabric,
  • unpaired terry socks,
  • pieces of felt
  • leftover yarn,
  • narrow and long packaging boxes for jewelry.


In addition to the above materials, there is still a lot from which you can make a pencil case with your own hands. Obviously, you should not throw away your old jeans, because denim is in demand in many homemade products. Accessories from old denim pants or a jacket are useful for decorating the finished product.

Sharp scissors and a stationery knife, a ruler, threads with a needle, several zippers of various lengths and colors, multi-colored laces or braid will definitely come in handy.

Simple leather pencil case

A piece of artificial or natural leather can make the simplest storage of writing instruments. The child can easily repeat this model on his own, so that he can later present it to a friend. Let's figure out how you can make a leather pencil case from a minimal set of materials.

Cut a rectangular piece of thin leather fabric so that it has smooth edges. A small cut will not be enough, it is desirable that the workpiece be about 30 cm long and more than 15 cm wide. If the young artist has a lot of pencils, then the length of the fabric can be unlimited.

Having stepped back a little from the edge, we cut with a clerical knife two parallel longitudinal holes in the upper part of the fabric. We repeat the operation at the bottom of the leather material. The length of the cuts is small - just such that the pencil passes freely and does not dangle. Make just enough slots to fit all the pencils. They will be securely fastened at both ends and will be easy to remove.

When folded, the pencil case is a rolled up roll. So that it does not unwind, at the end we sew a bright lace or a ribbon folded in half. Then, after twisting, it will be possible to wrap the ends of the tape around the pencil case several times and tie a bow.

If there is no leather fabric, then a piece of felt or other fabric, whose edges do not crumble, will fit for such a homemade product. Since the pencil case is for children, the tie can be upgraded. Let it be an elastic loop that fastens with a bright button.


Pencil case made of leather "Funny face"

For younger children, it will be interesting to put pencils in a pencil case made in the form of a funny face. Its base is two ovals. In one of them, just below the middle, a long and narrow hole is made, fastened with a zipper - this is the mouth.

Now it remains to glue or sew on the eyes, ears and cheeks as desired. That's all, it is a pleasure to put away markers in such a "glutton".

A simple pencil case made of ready-made items

A master class on how to make a pencil case with your own hands from improvised items will be short-lived. Much more time will be spent on the fascinating decoration of faceless boxes, bags and jars.

Idea 1. Just glue a box of suitable size with colored or wrapping paper. You can make an applique on it or use an ornamental tape. You need to glue a piece of soft cloth inside so that it covers the bottom.

Idea 2. A flat plastic envelope of a small size (for example, A 5) with a zip fastener or riveting can also be adapted for writing instruments. Usually documents are stored in such packages.

But it is worth a little conjure with the decor, and you get a non-trivial little thing for another purpose. Several types of colored tape will help you create a fun geometric print or the simplest mosaic pattern of squares.


Idea 3. Who said that a long and narrow plastic cereal jar can only be used for the kitchen? We fix a piece of bright wrapping paper, a picture from a coloring page or an applique on the inside along the perimeter of the walls. That's all - a sealed and durable pencil case can survive trips to the country and open air in the fresh air.

Note!

Old jeans are used

There is nothing easier than sewing a pencil case out of jeans and zippers. It will suit both a very young child and an already matured young lady. Let's restrict ourselves to a simple rectangular shape and add a decor of snake fasteners for originality.

It is necessary to cut the workpiece taking into account the seam allowances on the seamy side of the old jacket or trousers. It's okay if a pocket or a patch gets there - it's even more interesting. Now you need to sew on the sidewalls and sew in a zipper.

The decor of such a pencil case should match that with which jeans adorn: labels, scuffs, pockets, zippers, rivets. Romantic natures can lay out a small scattering of rhinestones, the main thing is not to overdo it.

If you have a little more free time ...

It is quite an ordinary situation when an adult needs to keep the necessary items safe and sound. Why can you make a pencil case if you are no longer a child?

  • The girls will put the makeup brushes in it.
  • The pencil case can be used as a case for glasses.
  • If you work hard on the form and decor, then school supplies will replace the cosmetic bag on trips.

And you can also put medications there, which are required constantly. Now it will be convenient to carry them in your purse. These are the benefits you get if you put in quite a bit of effort and imagination, select the right idea, and go!

Case for pens and pencils made of zippers (photo-instruction)




Didn't lie scattered on the bottom of the backpack, but lay neatly folded by the child? Find out from our master class with a photo on sewing a school pencil case.

Back to school. And this means that they will again be folded in a mountain on a table, in a backpack or scattered throughout the apartment. But ? This will be helped by a bright one, in which to fold all the handles will become one pleasure. Such a cool school pencil case would be another way, and in the classroom.

To sew a school pencil case from fabric with your own hands, you will need:

  • Fabric - 2 types for the front and inner sides (22 cm wide each)
  • Zipper - 23 cm
  • Scissors

How to make a pencil case with your own hands: a step-by-step master class

Step 1. From each type of fabric for the inside and front of the school pencil case, cut 2 rectangles measuring 24 cm x 14 cm.You should have 4 small rectangles of fabric.


Step 2. Once the rectangles of fabric are ready, grab the zipper. Place one piece of fabric for the inside of the pencil case (in this case, black and white striped fabric) in front of you, right side up. Fold the zipper up to the edge of the fabric.


Step 3. Then, on top of the zipper, attach one piece of fabric, which will be the front of the pencil case, with the pattern down. Secure the zipper together with two pieces of fabric with sewing pins.


Step 4. Begin sewing the fabric along this edge of the zipper, where the two pieces of fabric are attached. When you get close to where the zipper is, stop sewing, tie the thread, and slide the zipper out of its way by opening the zipper. Then sew everything to the end. Unfold the fabrics so that the right side is facing you. After flashing it should look like this:


Step 5. Now you have to do the same on the other side of the lightning. Unfold the fabric with the end of the zipper toward you. Take the other two pieces of fabric. Place the fabric for the outside of the pencil case with the pattern down, and on top of it lay another piece of fabric for the inside of the pencil case, with the right side facing you. On top of these two pieces of fabric, place the two to which the zipper has already been sewn. Thus, the fabric for the inside is on the inside, and for the outside, on both sides of the inside (one part is facing you, the other is face down).

Sew along the zipper, inserting the side of the stitching zipper between the two pieces of fabric underneath.


Step 6. Now take your pencil case fabric and place it so that the faces of the main (outer) fabric are touching each other and the inner fabric is on the outside.

Sew along the long, raw edge at the bottom.


Step 7. Then fold the fabric from which you are sewing your school pencil case so that the zipper is in the center. Make sure all your layers are flat on the inside.


Step 8. Open the zipper halfway. Sew on each of the raw short sides. You are also stitching the ends of the zipper, so just make sure it zips properly and everything slides when you sew it.

Now make the side corners in the school pencil case with your own hands. To do this, take one of the four corners and flatten it with your fingers to form a triangle with just made a side seam going straight to the center of your triangle. Sew along the base of the "triangle" and then cut off the sharp end. Do this on all 4 corners.

Turn the finished pencil case right side out and let your child fill it with their school supplies.

Now you know how to quickly sew a handy pencil case for a child from fabric with your own hands. Such a wonderful pencil case can become not only an organizer for a stationery and other school supplies for a child, but also an excellent cosmetic bag for a mother, sister or grandmother. It remains to choose the right fabric.
