Did you guys realize that it has been quite some time since my last sewing post? I know I have been playing around these few months, experimenting with different materials and totally forgotten about improving my sewing skill. So, I’m back today with sewing and felt and a little bit of recycling idea. Get ready, people! We are making a pencil case, and this is probably one of the simplest cases you would ever made! Just trade the needle and thread steps with glue if you aren’t familiar with sewing. It’s as easy as that! Sudah lama banget tidak membuat postingan tentang jahit-menjahit. Belakangan ini kebanyakan main-main dengan material sehingga lupa untuk meng-update ketrampilan menjahit yang tak kunjung maju :p Hari ini saya kembali dengan tutorial menjahit dengan kain flanel dengan sedikit sentuhan daur ulang. Ayo siap-siap untuk membuat kotak pensil super mudah dari karton gulung! Untuk pembaca yang tidak begitu familiar dengan jahitan, bisa mengganti semua instruksi jahitan dengan lem. Sangat mudah! Ayo dicoba!

What you need : - Empty toilet rolls x 2 - Felt - Zipper - Cardboard - Needle & thread - Scissors - Masking tape.

1.Cut one of your empty rolls into 2 parts, with the ratio 1:3.

2.Join the other empty roll with the newly cut roll (the longer one!) with masking tape or scotch tape.

3.Get a piece of rectangular felt, divide it into two according to the new length of the 2 rolls (length of one with extra roll attached and length of the short leftover roll), cut it and join them back with a zipper.
4.Fold into half and sew the side.

5.Slip your toilet rolls in. Apply some glue on the outside wall of the rolls if you like.

6.Get a little piece of cardboard and cut out a circle (circle’s diameter = toilet roll’s diameter). Make two of this. Use a thicker cardboard or just stack a few if you want a thicker base for your case.

7.Add a piece of circular felt on each of them.

8.Stitch the 2 circular pieces to the cylinder case, top and bottom.

9.And there you go! An easy and solid pencil case from toilet rolls! Hope you like it :D Note: You can decorate the inside with pattern paper if you want to, but I’ll leave that up to your creativity
