A step-by-step guide to creating an eco-friendly and unique pencil case using upcycled plastic bags.

Make Pencil Cases Using Plastic Bags

Gather Materials

Collect all necessary materials including a plastic bag, zipper, and fabric for lining if desired.

Cut the plastic bag into flat pieces and layer multiple pieces for added durability. Iron the layers together using parchment paper to avoid melting.

Cut the ironed plastic into the desired shape and size for your pencil case.

Sew the zipper onto the plastic, ensuring it aligns correctly with the sides of the pencil case.

Sew the sides and bottom of the pencil case together, ensuring all seams are secure.

For added durability and aesthetic appeal, sew fabric lining inside the case.

Trim any excess threads and check all seams to ensure the case is sturdy.
