Master class: sewing a pencil case. How to make a pencil case for school with your own hands from fabric, paper or knitting How to sew a pencil case for school with your own hands

I invite you to a creative workshop where I will show you how to sew a pencil case for school with your own hands.

For a craft to be beautiful and practical, it needs to meet certain criteria:

• Size. It was the right size for all office supplies, both pens and pencils (longer pencils). It is worth taking into account the number of items.
• Ornament.
• Strength. In order for the craft to last for at least a year, it is worth taking a dense material or using any sealant, for example, made of felt.

I will give examples.

• The square of matter is conditionally divided into 2 parts. To each half in the middle, sew a rectangular piece of felt smaller in size than the half of the fabric by 1 cm in both width and length.
• Sew a rectangle. You don't even need a pattern for this. Simply secure the edges of the square and stitch or glue the sides.
• Insert zipper.

You can decorate your pencil case with a bow. Watch the video to see how to make it.

From lightning

• Sew 12 zippers of the same size (at least 18cm) together so that one has the fastener facing up and the other with the fastener facing down. The main thing is that the locks are next to each other, along the same line.

It turns out to be a canvas.

• Sew the edges of the fabric.
• Fasten the “sleeve” along the edges.
• Turn it out!

The advantage of this device is that it can be opened anywhere, and not even just in one place. And if you take zippers of different colors, it will turn out very beautiful.

From cardboard or paper

From cardboard - the most easy option. It turns out to be of any shape and more voluminous than a regular pen case. It can be used for art supplies, such as brushes, or even made into a large pencil case that can hold rulers, pens and a notepad.

The same principle applies to cardboard. You just need to take a paper towel tube. Cut it lengthwise or crosswise, depending on how you plan to open the pencil case. Then everything follows the instructions. True, the dimensions of such a case will be small.

You can also use leather and suede, felt, a plastic container, etc.

Master class furoshiki type pencil case

This technique can be used if:

• If you want variety, a new device every day.

• You can easily vary the color and size.
• It's done quickly. It will take a minute to make.
• No pattern needed!
• Lightweight and does not take up much space.
• No zippers or clasps...etc.

I only needed a scarf. I specifically chose one with a simple ornament so that everything I do would be more noticeable. You can choose fabric with a brighter design. What and how I made from it:

Such furoshiki can even be cut out of jeans. You just can't tie the corners. But putting elastic bands on the edges, in places where there are knots, is quite possible. You can't tie your hands either. They will need to be sewn. This fashionable stationery handbag looks very cool!

To accustom your baby to order and make the drawing process more fun, sew a bright pencil case for your little artist. It is convenient because while drawing, the baby does not need to pour out all the supplies from the box: just unroll the scroll and all the pencils will be in front of the baby’s eyes. A pocket with dividers will help your child group pencils or markers by color, and a flap will prevent them from falling out during storage or transportation. Materials. From the materials you will need two pieces of cotton companion fabrics (in this case yellow and green), interlining, padding polyester, satin or grosgrain ribbon, a pendant, wooden buttons and threads to match the color of the fabric.

Preparing parts. According to the diagram, cut out one rectangle measuring 25x32 cm from yellow fabric and polka dot fabric.

The yellow rectangle will serve as the cover, and the green one will serve as the basis for the flap and pocket.

To make the latter, cut out a rectangle measuring 30x34 cm from green fabric and bend it lengthwise along the front side. The result will be a blank for a pocket measuring 15x34 cm. For the flap, cut out a rectangle 16x32 cm, which you then fold lengthwise, but along the wrong side and, stepping back 1.5 cm from each edge, cut off the corners.

The result is an equilateral trapezoid with bases 32 and 29 cm long and 8 cm high. Assembly of parts. Take a 32 cm long ribbon and sew it to the cover piece.

Reinforce the pocket part from the inside with interlining, fold it along the fold line and lay a longitudinal decorative seam.

Take the valve piece and sew a straight stitch (a) along the sides and along the short base of the trapezoid.

Then turn the part inside out, iron it and again lay a stitch along the same sides, but this time decorative (b). The upper base does not need to be closed, since at the final stage of assembly two fixing seams will pass along it. Using tailor's pins, pin the pocket piece to the base piece (green rectangle).

According to the diagram, the length of the pocket detail was 34 cm, and the base was 32 cm. A difference of 2 cm is necessary to create volume for the sections for pencils. Therefore, when attaching the pocket to the base, first align the edges of both parts, and then distribute the fabric evenly. Now make the pencil slots. To do this, lay straight seams along the width of the pocket at intervals of 1-1.6 cm. Be sure to make bartacks at the beginning and end of the stitches (a seam 0.7-0.9 cm long in the reverse mode of the sewing machine). Pin the valve piece to the base.

Make ties from fabric. To do this, cut out a rectangle 55 cm long and 4 cm wide. Fold it in the middle and bend it to the fold line of the edge. Sew a straight stitch or decorative stitch along the edge. You can also use cord, ribbon or a knitted chain as ties.
Sew the ties to one of the short sides of the base.

Reinforce the cover from the inside with non-woven fabric or ironed padding polyester. Cover the pocket and flap piece with the cover piece, matching the edges of all pieces. Make sure that the front sides of both blanks are on the inside. Place a straight stitch around the perimeter of the scroll pencil case, leaving a hole on one of the short sides for turning inside out.

Many people believe that a pencil case for pens and other stationery is an accessory for schoolchildren and students. In fact, it is needed in any apartment. Storing pens and pencils in a specially designated place for them is comfortable and practical.

The stores offer a wide selection of accessories, but you can sew the product yourself. Moreover, there are models that do not require the use of needles and threads during production.

DIY pencil case

After about the first year, children begin to acquire stationery and art supplies: multi-colored pens, felt-tip pens and paint brushes. Moms have more housework, so they will be especially interested in learning how to make a pencil case with their own hands.

Parents of children will find a pencil case very useful. Firstly, the child will enjoy putting items in bright containers. Secondly, this is a great chance for mommy to practice and improve her creativity.

No need to start with complex models. It will be enough to sew a regular drawstring bag. The work will take a little of your time. A fabric bag can be decorated with braid, buttons, rhinestones or beads. Such pencil cases for children will be a real find, because they can be bright and interesting.

Before moving on to creation, it is worth considering the model of your pencil case, calculating its dimensions, capacity and stability. All these points must be taken into account before you start sewing the product, because it will be sad if the supplies for work or drawing do not fit into the bag.

One of the light models is a one-division cover with a zipper. When working correctly, such a handbag can be modified. Then the internal space will be divided into two or three auxiliary sections, each of which can be closed with a zipper.

Bags differ in shape and size. They can be in the shape of a cylinder, a parallelepiped, or an animal, such as a cat. Experienced needlewomen can knit a fancy pencil case with knitting needles, but for beginners it is better to choose simple models and the following fabrics:

• Synthetic
• Dense and non-slip, for example, a piece of unwanted jeans or variegated cotton fabric (chintz, calico, satin).
• Jacket, raincoat, upholstery.

Sew a shark bag

An original handbag in the shape of a shark will create good mood you and the child. To make it you need:

Step-by-step creation of a shark pencil case

Felt cover

Felt pencil cases are considered very original and easy to make.

This material is malleable and requires processing, because its sections will not fray, the internal and front seams only need to be overcast by hand, and to make the elements more beautiful, they are cut out with special scissors with serrated blades.

This method is also applicable for natural and artificial leather, suede.

Model without pattern

All you need for such a pencil case is a rectangular piece of material, a ruler, a pencil or chalk and sharp scissors.

You need to create small notches in a piece of fabric that will serve as loops for brushes, pencils and pens. The holders are made along almost the entire length of the workpiece, with the exception of the front side, into which the colored roll will be wrapped. To prevent the bag from opening, on the side where there are no slits, it is necessary to attach a braid or ribbon of sufficient length. Wrapped around the item, it will perfectly secure everything that is laid out inside and decorate the item.

Pencil case for pens and pencils made of zippers (photo instructions)

It has already become an established tradition to purchase school supplies at stationery stores. But it is quite possible to make the most necessary attributes of a schoolchild - for example, a simple pencil case for pens and pencils - with your own hands. Such a product will compare favorably with the accessories of other children.

And every time the child takes it in his hands, he will be able to feel the warmth of the care of his mother’s, grandmother’s or sister’s hands. There are different ways to make pencil cases from various types material.

Let's get started!

Pencil case from a box

The simplest but most interesting school pencil case can be made with your own hands from an ordinary box. It is enough to place a velvet or leather lining on its bottom and cover the walls beautiful paper. A box made of unpainted cardboard looks no less original and very stylish.

Pencil case made of cardboard cylinder and fabric

You can make a pencil case from a cardboard cylinder and fabric. For this you will need:

• one fairly wide and long cardboard cylinder or two shorter cylinders with the same diameter;
• piece of fabric;
• zipper;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• sewing thread and needle;
• stationery knife.

If we use one cylinder, then cut it into two parts of unequal height - one should be shorter, the other longer.

If we use two cylinders, then cut off half from one, which we use together with the second whole cylinder.

We outline the bottom of the cylinder in advance on thick cardboard and fabric. We make two cardboard and two fabric circles.

Take a piece of fabric, the width of which should be enough to wrap the cylinder, leaving a little material at the edge. Along the height of the short part of the cylinder, mark the distance from the edge of the prepared piece of fabric and make a cut. We sew a zipper between the resulting narrow and wide pieces of material.

We fold the resulting piece of fabric along the right side inward, stitch along the edge.

We insert long and short cardboard cylinders into the resulting case, matching them with a zipper. (The side seam of the cover remains outside).

We place pre-cut cardboard and fabric circles on the bottom and top. Along the edge we sew a fabric circle to the cover placed on the cylinder.

You can place a cotton pad between the cardboard and the fabric for volume and softness.

Having sewn it on, remove the cover and turn it right side out. We put it on the cylinders again. We glue it.

Look at the video on how to make a simple pencil case from cardboard:

DIY leather pencil case

A simpler option for making a pencil case for school with your own hands is to use a rectangular piece of bright leather to create it. Using a stationery knife, along a ruler, in a checkerboard pattern, we make parallel cuts on it.

Pencils or pens will be inserted into each of these cuts, like rods in a basket.

Having rolled the pencil case into a tube, we wrap it with a beautiful ribbon, the edges of which can be sewn to a leather flap.

Felt pencil case

A charming, soft pencil case for markers or felt-tip pens can be made from felt.

To make such a pencil case we need:

• Braid
• Glue gun

We cut a rectangular blank from a piece. We can estimate the size by placing markers on it. Apply glue between the markers, as shown in the photo. The gap between markers will be 2.5 - 3 cm.

We fold the bottom of the fabric, gluing it between the markers.

We take out markers. Apply strips of glue for the ribbons.

Glue the ribbons. Cut off the excess part.

We turn the pencil case over and apply glue for the ribbon with which we will wrap the pencil case. The glue strip should not be more than 5-6 cm on the right or left side of the pencil case.

Glue the tape. Please note that the tape is not glued along its entire length.

We wrap it in a tube along with markers.

How to sew a simple pencil case from fabric or oilcloth material?

This simple version of a pencil case can be made either from ordinary thick fabric or from oilcloth on a fabric basis. To make a pencil case we will need the material itself, a zipper, scissors and pins.

It will be most convenient to make a pencil case based on the size of the zipper. We cut out two identical rectangles from our material with a length equal to the size of the zipper.

We position the material in relation to the zipper as shown in the photo.

We sew the material to the zipper with threads. This is a temporary stitch. After we make the seam on the machine, we will remove the temporary seam.
