Tutorial: IPad stylus pencil holder

by - Wednesday, April 10, 2024


Nowadays, it is very easy to order stuff from the Internet that we forget how handmade feels! I’m quite guilty of seeing my sewing machine gather dust and forgetting about  sewing supplies I purchased just recently. It’s the height of the dry season and afternoons are getting unbearable with the heat and humidity. It’s good to distract oneself from the horrid weather by making handmade stuff on weekends or holidays.

Today happens to be a national holiday and I’ve been wanting to get a new iPad case with pencil holder. Instead of ordering one from the Internet, I fancied I should create  one out of unused felt cloth and sewing notions.  As I am still in cottagecore mode, why not make something handmade? By default, I use a stylus pencil since I hate fingerprint marks on my iPad. The problem is, I keep misplacing the stylus pencils all the time! 

This craft project can also be used as a pencil or pen holder for notebooks and journals. Feel free to customize for your individual style!
