How we did it:

Materials List

  1. felt
  2. ruler
  3. marker
  4. scissors
  5. x-acto knife
  6. string
  7. colored pencils
  1. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Cut your felt into an 8” x 18” sheet. 

  2. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Starting about 2” from the top and 2 ½” from the left, create a mark on the felt about ½” wide. Make another mark about ¼” below the first. Then, make a second pair of marks about 3 ½” below the first pair. 

  3. Tip!

    These measurements don’t have to be exact, but keep in mind that they will need to fit a colored pencil snugly once cut. If in doubt, start out with smaller marks and make them larger if necessary. 

  4. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Continue marking the felt horizontally until you are about 1 ½” from the other end. Leave about ½” between each set of marks. 

  5. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Using an X-acto knife or scissors, cut slits into the felt where you marked it. 

  6. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Turn the felt over so that the marks you made are face down on the table and slide your pencils into the roll. 

  7. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Make a small hole near the far end of the roll and pull the string through it.


  8. Pencil Roll Pin It

    Roll up your pencil roll and tie it with the string!
