Before you get back to the books, get crafty with one of these cute pencil holders.
1. Polka Dot Pencil Case
This cute little case was created by Amber from Damask Love.
Materials: elastic band in color of your choice, solid colored card stock, double-sided adhesive and/or craft blue, foam brush, small mailing tube, patterned paper, a hole punch.
1.Using a saw or serrated knife cut the mailing tube into two pieces and cover with patterned paper using the adhesive or glue.
2.Roll the solid colored cardstock into a tube and insert it into the mailing tube. Glue it in place, allowing 1-2" to extend above the edge of the bottom portion of the tube.
3. Use a hole punch to place holes in the top of the mail tube as shown, and insert the elastic. Tie little knots to keep the elastic from slipping out. (Not pictured: use the hole punch to create notches in the bottom of the mail tube where the elastic can rest so it doesn't slip out of place.)
That's it! A stylish and portable pencil holder.
2. PVC Pipe Pencil Case
Marlene at Jade and Fern transformed a PVC pipe into a practical pencil case.
