Introduction: Levi's Button Fly Pencil Case
Now its officially OK to say: Open that Fly and grab my Pencil :)
The Idea: To create a unique and original hand made Pencil Case to take
to school by using an old pair of Jeans with Button Fly closing system.
Step 0 ( Tools and Materials )
0.1 - Materials:
0.1.1 - A Old pair of Trouser Jeans with a Button Fly closing system
0.1.2 - Some Sewing String
0.2 - Tools:
0.2.1 - A Pair of Scissors
0.2.2 - A Needle
Step 1 ( The Choice )
1.1 - Choose an old pair of Jeans with a Button Fly closing system
1.2 - Button up all the Buttons from the Button Fly
Step 2 ( The Cutting )
2.2 - Using the pair of scissors, cut out the jeans around the Button fly as
shown in the picture
2.3 - By doing the previous instruction you should now have a rectangular
shaped piece of jeans with the Button Fly in the middle center part of
it (see photo)
Step 3 ( The Sewing )
3.1 - Fold the rectangular shaped piece of jeans so that the inside of the
jeans are facing out.
3.2 - Thread your needle with the sewing string

4.2 - Flip the bag inside out through the Button Fly
4.3 - Sew the red Levi's brand logo ( or any other brand ) in the lower corner
of the case for some extra "originality"
4.4 - Pack the case with some school materials ( pencil, pens, eraser, etc. )
Step 5 ( Have Some Laughs at School )

Great reuse of jeans. Also, the "pencils spilling out the fly" pic is almost too much. Cool project.
