#Pencil case Patch#
You’ll notice that your pencil case’s stop is still bare… well, now it’s time to fix that! We’re going to create a cardboard felt patch for either end of the tube. You should be left with a covered roll! Now’s the time to test if your zipper stays attached when you unzip your pencil case all the way. Run a line of glue along the edges, then roll the tube along to cover it entirely. Now that you’ve made your felt cover, it’s time to attach it to the pencil case’s interior. Take the felt to your sewing machine or whip out your needle and thread because it’s time to sew! Simply run a straight stitch along each side of the zip, making sure you catch the backing. Ensure you’re lining up the felt’s edges with the zipper’s teeth to create a clean join. It’s time to attach our zipper! Lay your felt out flat, then pin the zipper from end to end. Line up the small and large parts on your felt piece, then cut between them as above. Next up, we need to trim the felt horizontally to accommodate the two cardboard pieces and attach the zipper. Now, you have a piece of felt that will fit around your cardboard tube. Mine was 15cm wide.ĭraw a straight line on your felt at your measurement mark, then cut. Next up, it’s time to start covering the roll! Begin by measuring the large paper roll’s circumference, then transferring that length measurement to a piece of felt. This will leave with you one long cardboard tube and one half-sized piece.
Using some tape, attach one of the small cardboard pieces to the top of your toilet paper tube. Now, you should have three pieces (as above). Grab your craft knife and cut one of the cardboard rolls in half, leaving the other intact. However, feel free to experiment with color blocking to make your case even more unique!įirst on the agenda is to create the interior structure’s shape. You also need at least two felt pieces, one for the pencil case’s body and the other for the wings. If you’re using a thicker tube, pick up a longer zip.
#Pencil case zip#
You need a zip long enough to wind around your cardboard tube, so I chose a 15cm long zip. Let’s start by getting our supplies together.
