Felt Pencil Stub Case

Pencils wear down. You get stubs. You don't have anywhere to put them. But I do. Because I made a felt pencil case with different sized slots for different sized pencils.

Now all my pencils, even my shortest stubs, have homes.

The flexible format allow you to hold all different sizes of pencils and keep them all easily accessible, and also allows you to utilize all the space in the case so you don't waste and entire slot on one tiny stub.

Here's how I made it.

Step 1 Materials

Felt (thin craft felt is better than thick industrial felt for this--those little squares of felt they sell for craft projects are the perfect size)

Fabric marking pencil

Hole punch

Ribbon

Sewing machine

Scissors

Thread

Needle

Pins

Pencils

Very nice instructable. Today I've made my own pencil case. I've made only one change. I wanted to have there a place for an eraser, so I've made two columns shorter and made one wider pocket for it.

I made something similar to this for my (water color) paint brushes; canvas vs felt. I use my pencils until their too short to use...I just hate to throw anything away... Good Instructable...
