Do you still need to pick up a few extra school supplies for the students in your life? If a pencil pouch is on your child’s shopping list, have them try making one instead. Thanks to colorful washi tape and Con-Tact paper, a household organizing staple, creating a durable pencil pouch can be done in minutes. Make several pouches in different heights and widths to keep desks and lockers organized.
Materials
- 1 sheet of cardstock
- 2 rolls of washi tape (1 print, 1 solid)
- 1 roll of duct tape
- Scissors
- Clear Con-Tact paper
- 2 sets of magnets
| 2. Trim any excess tape off the paper. |
|
| 3. Cut two sheets of Con-Tact paper slightly bigger than your cardstock. Remove the backing and place your cardstock, design-side down, on the sticky side of one piece. Add the second piece to the plain side of your cardstock and smooth out any air bubbles. |
|
| 4. Trim the excess Con-Tact paper. |
|
| 5. Fold your cardstock in half. |
|
| 6. Add a piece of solid washi tape to either side of the pouch to secure. Trim the excess. Cut two small pieces of Con-Tact paper and cover the solid washi tape you just added. |
|
| 7. Cut four small squares of duct tape and place a magnet on each one. |
|
| 8. Add a set to the inside of your pouch on either side. |
