African Mudcloth Pencil Pouch Tutorial

Helloooo August and Eeeek it’s almost time for school!

One thing you won’t have to worry about this back to school season is going in with chic global style back to school accessories. Because myself and the other gals behind The Global Styler are bringing you 4 different DIYs to bring that global style vibe to the mundane back to school experience.

Here on my blog I’m going to show you how to make this really easy African mudcloth pencil pouch- it’s no see!

You don’t need to use vintage or even authentic fabric for this one, it’s just what I’ve had on hand. In fact, if mudcloth ain’t your thing, use the video as inspiration and use whatever fabric strikes your fancy.

I’m not sure if a pencil pouch is necessary nowadays. Do kids even cart around markers, pencils, pens, erasers, calculators and the like? I graduated in 2008 and my son is doing school foe the first time this year.

If nothing else, this would make a cute makeup pouch for inside my purse ?.

Here’s the video sharing how I made it. I do talk through it but you could watch on mute too and get the gist of it.

Grab Your Supplies:

Fabric

Hot glue & sticks

Zipper

Scissors

Watch The Video:

And then fill it with whatever goodies you’ve got to store!

And that wraps up this cute craft for back to school. Here are three more to try in between prepping for classes:
