Warnings
These a blingy pencil cases designed to store your school essentials. So seriously…..
Don’t put bricks in them. For a start they just won’t fit! Also because it’s a pencil case for stationary and not a lorry load of bits and bobs!
Don’t chew the pencil case it would hurt - why would you? YUK!
Dont give the pencil case to little ones. The pencil case is not designed to be chewed, to store lunch or half eaten snacks in, to be dunked in the toilet or anything else a little rascal may decide is a good idea!
Up cycling
……
The day comes when your pencil case arrives, it’s so exciting! You rip open the recycled packaging, in double quick time and notice they have arrived in a small plastic folder with a cardboard tab. What are you going to do with the plastic and cardboard?? THROW IT AWAY I hear you yell! Well yes you absolutely could, or even put it in the recycling….. but there is another way…..you could up-cycle it and use everything for something new!
Here are a few of our ideas:
Use the cardboard as a bookmark and slip it between the pages of your favourite book.
Keep the cardboard and use it as material for your next art or craft project.
Use the card to store ribbon, wool or thread. We always keep ribbon, wool and twine that comes on presents, new clothes and all manor of things. To store the newly acquired ribbon; simply wind it around the cardboard. You might need a little bit of tape to hold it in place or ask an adult to cut a slit into the side (about 1cm deep) and the end of your ribbon can sit happily in there.
The plastic folder could be used to store stickers, sweets, or again be reused as material for your next craft project.
Upcycling your pencil case
Don’t forget, if you get fed up of your pencil case (as we all change our minds from time to time!) donate them to a family member, a friend or to your local charity shop. Don’t forget to ask an adult if it’s ok!
Or you could use the pencil case as a sleeping bag for your toys, or a place to keep you money or sweets
