The PVC Pencil Case

Tired of those store-bought, flimsy pencil cases that you know are going to break the first few weeks of school? Well then, you've come to the right place! This instructable will teach you how to make an inexpensive and virtually indestructable pencil case out of PVC.

All the materials needed can be obtained quite inexpensively at your local hardware store.

You will need:

Materials:

8 inches of 1" PVC pipe

1" end cap (non-threaded)

1" male adaptor

1" end cap (threaded)

Tools:

PVC glue

Hacksaw or some other sharp device to cut the PVC

Use the saw to cut the PVC down to 8 inches, then glue on the non- threaded end cap.

Now attatch the 1" male adapter to the other end of the pipe.

Lounge around a bit while you wait for the glue to dry. You might want to put a fan on it, you want those glue fumes out of there.

When the glue is dry and the fumes are gone, slide some pencils in there, then screw the threaded end cap on. You might want to paint it, or leave it as it is.

Ta-da! You now have a convenient and extremely durable pencil case.
