Step by step
First we are going to take some measurements on the sheet to create the felt case. Need 20 centimeters wide by 30 long. We cut with sharp scissors.
On the width side we do marks at 4 centimeters each, we will get 4 marks. We do the same on both sides for the wide part.
Now we place the felt horizontally, 3 centimeters from the edge we begin to mark the holes where the paintings will be placed. Each mark should measure 1,5 centimeters and between each one we will leave 0,5 centimeters.
With a cutter we open all the brands that we have made on the felt, you can also use scissors with a sharp tip.
We pass the elastic cord through the holes of the button and we knot on the inside so that it does not come off.
With the pencil we mark the place where the button will go, cut with the tip of the scissors and introduce the elastic cord. The button should be on the outside.
We already have the case and there is only place the colored pencils each in its place .
And voila, there is only roll the sheet of fabric on itself, we put the rope around and knot on the button to have the pencils well stored and organized.
