Pencil Roll

How we did it:
Materials List
- felt
- ruler
- marker
- scissors
- x-acto knife
- string
- colored pencils
-
Cut your felt into an 8” x 18” sheet.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Continue marking the felt horizontally until you are about 1 ½” from the other end. Leave about ½” between each set of marks.
-
Using an X-acto knife or scissors, cut slits into the felt where you marked it.
-
Turn the felt over so that the marks you made are face down on the table and slide your pencils into the roll.
-
Make a small hole near the far end of the roll and pull the string through it.
-
Roll up your pencil roll and tie it with the string!
