Pencil Holders

At our club meeting this week one of my demos was these cute pencil holders.  I found these on The Stamp Doc's site and just had to make them.  They are SO easy and quick and perfect for our little ones returning to school soon!

I've done just a quick tutorial with the measurements for you

Start with a piece of card stock 2 1/4" x 12" (you can make it bigger for more pencils by cutting  your card stock 2 1/2" x 12")

 

Score 1/2" on each long side

 

and at 1/2", 8" and 8 1/2" on the 2 1/4" side as below

 

Cut along the long sides at each score line – see below (six cuts)

 

Add sticky tape to the 3 1/2" sides and at the small clipped areas

 

 

If you would like to add designer paper, do so now on the 3 1/2" piece

 

Fold along all score lines.  Remove the red tape and fold up the 3 1/2" section and adhere into the top section

 

Fold the top 1/2" tabs down and your pencil box is complete

 

Decorate and add pencils!!
