Autumn Pencil Case

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you need: A piece of felt in red or orange, red, orange, yellow, green and brown felt scraps, yarn, darning needle, two large beads.

 

What you do:

  1. Fold the piece of felt in half (hamburger fold).
  2. Thread the darning needle with your yarn. Tie a not at the end.
  3. Sew both sides of the felt to make a bag.
  4. Around the top of your bag, do a simple, big stitch. When you’ve got all around the top, take the needle off the yarn and tie a big bead onto either end of the yarn. You can pull the yarn to close the bag (this is how a drawstring works).
  5. If you want a larger bag, just use two pieces of felt and sew them together – use the same method for the drawstring part.
  6. Cut out leaf shapes from each of the felt scraps.
  7. Attach felt leaves with fabric glue.

    Wow that is cool and it is also getting into the season!!! But the only part that stinks is that it doesn’t go over your head. But who cares I guess because it is a cool craft/project!!!

      You could change the colors and design any way you like–use red or green felt and tree or ornament shapes, for example. How about blue felt with white snowflakes or snowmen? Or black or orange with Jack-0-lanterns, ghosts, or cats–you get the idea. I think I’ll have to make a few of these for fun!

    Cool! I don’t have that kind of needle though. :( Maybe I could use a regular needle and thread?

    “Autumn, Autumn, can’t you see? The colors are changing on the tree! Why don’t we weave, to make a pile of hand made leaves!”

        Yeah, you’re good! You made it up yourself? I’ve never really thought of things like that, though I have at least TRIED to write a couple of peoms. I think the bag is pretty cute, but I’d use different colors, and maybe a different design, although I do like leaves. Anyway, keep up the good work, Meebas4343!
