diy pencil bag

I decided to make a pencil bag yesterday. I was trying to think of a new original idea for it. I decided to use Capri Sun bags in the end. It only took about 15 minutes and it turned out pretty cute. I used 6 Capri Sun bags, 3 on each side. I sewed the 3 Capri Sun bags together for each side, but I didn't sew the 2 sides together. I sewed the zipper on next. I used a 12 inch zipper. After the zipper was attatched I sewed the two sides together. Make sure to do the corners of the pencil bag really well. I used zig zag stitching. It looks fun and it helps the bag hold together better.

 This is one of the sides before I sewed the zipper on.
