Do you want to make this easy no-sew pencil pouch? Available in my Etsy Store. This project comes with a SVG for your personal cutting machine and a printable version PDF to hand cut. I am so happy to share this with you.
I made this pouch out of faux leather that I got at Joann's. It is actually a vinyl material. It is thin enough for the Cricut to cut it. Please follow Cricut cutting recommendations.
I cut 2 panels to give the pouch a little girth. You don not have to. But it looks professional when the bag is lined. I used Heat & Bond to adhere them together. That is another super product. I cut that in my Cricut as well. You just heat and it bonds. They have great directions, just follow the package.
Use parchment when ironing the faux leather. It is a synthetic material and it will melt!!!
I used a strong glue to assemble the pouch together. I used E-6000. This stuff glues anything together.
When the bag is laying flat as shown, add glue on the top flap.
Fold that top flap over the middle flap and hold until it is secure. I like to use mini clips. Repeat this for the opposite side.
You will glue the other flaps in that same fashion. Hold until secure.
After I assembled the bag, I added a clip with the provided straps.
Just fold strap in half and adhere to the bag.
Now add a button and some elastic. You can just do velcro if you like.
Poke a small hold and loop a piece of elastic, knot the ends and pull it through the hole. This will keep the elastic from pulling through the faux leather. You can secure it with a little glue in the inside to reinforce it.
It is perfect for pencils and pens. I created a mini version to hang off my key chain. It works to keep my lip moisturizer and Airpods handy.
I hope you free inspired to make one for yourself!
