A pencil pouch that looks like a pencil! {thus the double pencil in the title – no that’s not a typo!}

Or it’s a pen pouch, or a crochet hook pouch, or a “whatever is long and thin that needs holding” pouch – I’m not the boss of you.

 

MY OTHER VIDEOS

It’s the perfect size for just a few pencils, pens, or hooks – I didn’t want to make this too big and cumbersome. Who really needs 15 pencils at one time anyway? I know I always carried way too many in school, it was so wasteful! So here is my older, wiser, minimalist approach.

{Also if you’d like the pattern to the super cute notebook paper textbook cover, check that out HERE}

I hope you love this little cutie – make one for the kids or for yourself!
