Filet Pencil cup

This pencil cup is made with a simple file pattern. So simple in fact, that a chart is not required for this. It starts out as a basic circle, then each round is done in straight basic filet with a touch of filled in filet half way up to the top. The work is secured with a row of gathering stitches through the last round to keep it in place.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon.

Random Quick Tip!

Turn Magazines into Art
You can make some really neat paper mosaic ornaments with your kids by cutting up several different colors of paper into about 1/4" to 1/2" pieces then applique or decoupage them onto little wood pieces that have been painted white or black. (You can use old magazines for various colors!) You can also do this with cardboard shapes as well.
