Fabric Pencil Holder with Peg Fairy

12 September 2015 by Eileen

This is my ninth challenge as a Bostik Blogger and this month’s theme is back to school. Again, I have received a crafting box packed with coloured paper, ribbons, foams, Blu Tack Glu Dots, Blu Tack Glu & Fix and many more.

As this month’s theme is back to school, my daughter decided to make a pencil holder and to decorate it with the fabric that was provided.

To make this fabric pencil holder, you will need:

  • Blu Tack Glu Dots
  • Blu Tack Glu & Fix
  • Fabric
  • Toilet roll/cylinder tube
  • Scissors
  • Felt pens
  • Woollen strings
  • Stickers
  • Wooden pegs

  1. Cover the toilet tube with the fabric using the Glu & Fix. Wait for it to dry. blu tack glu & fix
  2. Colour the pegs and cut out fabric to make a skirt and wings for your fairy. Then cut six 5cm strands of woollen strings for the hair. Stick a glu dot on the top of the peg and add the woollen strings. Then decorate it with a ribbon on her hair! Next slot the peg into the dried fabric pencil holder! colouring wooden pegs - Copy

This is my first time using the Glu & Fix and I love it.  It is solvent free and very easy to apply.  It takes at least 2-4 hours to dry.  Once dried, it sticks very well.

Now we are already looking forward to the Halloween theme next month!

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 17, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.
