This month's Little Makers project is a fun sewing adventure that turns simple pieces of felt into two adorable pencil case pals!
Say hello to our Felt Pencil Pals Kit — a creative project where children can learn basic sewing skills while making their very own cat and puppy pencil cases.
Little Makers will cut out colourful details, practise a simple blanket stitch, add cute facial features and finish their creations with a dangling paw charm. The result? Two handmade pencil cases that are as useful as they are adorable.
This is a wonderful project for building patience, confidence and creativity. From choosing where to place the eyes to stitching each little detail, every Little Maker can add their own personality to their pencil pals.
Perfect for storing pencils, pens, craft supplies or little treasures, these handmade cases are something they'll be proud to use every day.
