Pencil cases can be made from lots of different materials, including fabric, wood, leather, metal and plastic. Fabric pencil cases are usually fastened with a zip but they can also be fastened with buttons, velcro or poppers.

All of these pencil cases have had their pieces joined together by sewing.

These pencil cases do not have zips, buttons or

poppers. They have lids on hinges and are closed

with a catch.
