DIY: Making a pencil/pen case using a carton

Hello lovely people of this community,i hope the week isn't stressful, though mine has been hectic,but am glad to be here and to share my work with you all.
Today i decided to seized the moment and to create something nice and useful for my kids.

A pencil cover

I felt it's something worth doing because am tired of trying to find out the last place they dropped their pencil and pen.
Sometimes i spent minutes looking for where they kept it.
I believe this will be a good storage for their writing materials.

Here are the materials i used

• A White carton
• A scissors
• A pencil and a pen
• A ruler
• Some coloured beads
• Glue

The first step i took was to get a white carton,
I drew a square design on it using a ruler
After that,i cut it out with a scissor.

The next step:

I used a ruler, placed on the carton i had trimmed,i took my preferred measurements.
I measured from the right side using 12cm
I repeated it the left side and i marked each point

Next step:

I folded the carton into two from the points i had marked and i did that to the right side also

Next step:

I took a yellow hard paper,i cut it into a smaller length for the case lock.

And i glued it on the carton.

Next step:

I took the pencil case and i drew a sunflower in front of it.
Firstly i started with a pencil sketch because my kids had gone to school with their easer and there was no eraser at home,i tried to be a bit careful to avoid erasing anything since there was no eraser.
I did the sketch and luckily it wasn't so bad and i decided to complete it using my pen.

Next step

I got a yellow paper,i made a little circle design, i cut it out and placed it on the flower

Next step

I then made and decorated the inside of the case
I started by cutting out two extra cartons
I used glue and i glued it on the sides
I then fixed it on the case.
I got some beads and i lined the center of the case and i also pasted a cat and a girl's image on each of the sides just to make it more colorful.

Next step

I took the coloured beads and a glued each of it on the pencil case sparingly.
I decided on different colors because i felt it may be nice.
