Cereal Box Pencil Case






Supplies: Cereal box, pencil, scissors, ruler, clear tape, hook and loop fastener, scoring tool (A butter knife will work)
Step 1: Open a cereal box at the seams and flatten it out.
Step 2: Cut out the pencil case template (it'll be at the website I got this from) and put it on top of the flattened box. Trace onto the cardboard the shape of the template and cut it out.
Step 3: With the pencil, mark the score lines where they are indicated on the template. Place the ruler on the cardboard cutout where you marked the lines. Run your paper scoring tool along these lines. Fold at the lines.
Step 4: Fold up the pencil case at the score lines and tuck the bottom tab inside the bottom of the case. Place a small piece of clear tape to secure the tab in place. Place tape along the long side of the case.
Step 5: Attach hook and loop fasteners to the flap on the inside of the case.
You can paint this if you want. I think it would look better that way. You see I have pictures for the different steps. I got those from the website. Well, I hope you have fun making pencil cases.
