Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Cut your felt into an 8” x 18” sheet.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Continue marking the felt horizontally until you are about 1 ½” from the other end. Leave about ½” between each set of marks.
Step 4
Using an X-acto knife or scissors, cut slits into the felt where you marked it.
Step 5
Turn the felt over so that the marks you made are face down on the table and slide your pencils into the roll.
Step 6
Make a small hole near the far end of the roll and pull the string through it.
Final result!
Roll up your pencil roll and tie it with the string!
